I only heard about some secret "Expert Mode" that can be activated to change blocked params. But I could not find any information on how to actually activate it. Any hints? :)

Hi, I am investigating the H520 GPS unit and options to replace it. Eventually I am looking into replacing the Yuneec unit with an RTK-GPS unit - but as a first step I would like to just replace it with an off-the shelf UBlox GPS (e.g. Ublox m8n). A first striking difference: although the GPS...

This post is now more than 1 year old - still no RTK as it seems. Does anyone have news on this?

It seems it materialized: Yunnec E30Z

Hidden in a french interview with Wenyan Jiang and Jörg Schamuhn of Yuneec: HM: Do you envisage a camera with optical zoom? JC: What I can say is that we currently have a prototype optical zoom camera that goes around the world. It has been used in the United States, France, the United Kingdom...

What is the maximum speed I can use in mission mode? I changed the default 10m/s to 13.5m/s in the mission plan but if was still executed ad exactly 10m/s. Is this the maximum I can do in mission mode with the H520? The Yuneec spec only mentions this: Maximum Horizontal Speed (Manual Mode)...

Sky Drone Team: it was great meeting you guys in Chicago and see the system in action there. But I agree - a real world demo video would be great.

Is anybody testing network RTK yet?

Is this an official part? Looks like a 3d-printed thing

Yep, a 30x zoom option for the H520 would be a dream...

I saw a thread about a company developing a 4G/LTE Upgrade for the H520 a few days ago but can't find it anymore. Is the product dead on arrival? That would be a very interesting upgrade. Erik

You are right, comparing it exactly the same way is diffcult. But any data would be helpful :)

That won't work - both ST16s and Laptop have HDMI outputs not inputs - and it would be for visualization only. But you have a point, QGroundControl might behave differently than DataPilot.

So I guess there is nobody out there yet who actually got an RTK version / upgrade and could test network RTK yet?

That's a straw man argument ;-) Anyway - I stick to my advice: never hand catch a drone of that size.
