    High Above Peru

    Hey Andreas, I’ve seen a lot of Typhoon H videos since the drone came out last year, both from filmmakers and drone enthusiast alike, and I have to say that your video is one of my favorites! It’s very cinematic from start to end, and seems to keep up with the current trend in cinema today...

    2016 Typhoon H Showreel

    Hey John, thanks for sharing that video! Yeah the PixAero lens looked really good, I especially liked the color representation from that lens. Another thing that was interesting was the amount of lens flair each one had. As a filmmaker having that “cinematic” type lens flair is a plus, but after...

    2016 Typhoon H Showreel

    Yeah I actually tried installing the Peau lens in the CGO3+ camera on my original drone, and everything seemed to go okay when I did, but it turned out that the camera itself had a tilting issue afterwards that couldn’t be fixed with a gimbal calibration. After that I took out the Peau lens and...

    2016 Typhoon H Showreel

    Thanks Mark, I'm glad you liked it! And yes all the footage was shot using the stock lenses. The crazy thing is I've had the Peau 3.97mm lens for a few months now, but I wanted it professionally installed and I haven't called the company to set that up yet. The stock lenses definitely have some...

    2016 Typhoon H Showreel

    This video highlights some of the footage I’ve shot over this past year with my Typhoon H and Typhoon H Pro. All the shots were recorded in the Raw video format (with an ND filter), and then color graded in Adobe Premiere Pro. I hope you enjoy this showreel and please feel free to comment or...

    What to do when your TYPHOON H suddenly FLYS AWAY!!!

    CAPTAINDRONE I came across your video a couple days ago on YouTube, and I have to say I am very grateful that you posted it because for the first time I experienced a flyaway incident with my Typhoon H Pro. My experience seemed to be very similar if not identical to yours, and your advice on...

    Competition: September - Theme: Water

    This is my latest “scenic” short film from my company BACKBRDIGE Films. All aerial footage was shot with a Typhoon H Pro using a stock lens with various Polar Pro ND filters. All ground footage was shot with a Panasonic GH4 (internal memory). Everything was edited using Adobe Premier Pro, and I...

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    I tried removing the gimbal and camera then recalibrated. It appears to have helped a little bit, but there is still some sideways tilt in there. I'm going to go out and fly it later on and see how things look from the sky. Thanks for your help though.

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    Yes I have. I've done it inside my house, then outside in my yard, and I even tried it out in a wide open space without any obstructions. I just haven't had any luck with it yet.

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    It does tilt a little bit to the left, but if I move it to the right then it tilts to the right. I still have my older Typhoon H and that camera does the same thing, but with no issue when it's powered on.

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    I haven't tried that yet but I will right now and see how it goes. Thanks for the advise.

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    Thanks for the advice Bill. Unfortunately I've tried that a couple times with no luck. I'm really hoping it's something I can fix myself though as the repair wait time from Yuneec is so long.

    Problem with Gimbal Calibration

    I’ve recently upgraded from my original Typhoon H to the Typhoon H pro, and when I got the new drone in I went ahead and calibrated everything but to my surprise the gimbal consistently tilts the camera slightly to the left. Because of the type of filming I do, it is very important that the...

    Mixing Typhoon H (CGO3+) Footage with a Cinema Camera (video quality test)

    Hey num1gever, I hope the short walkthrough for color editing I posted here helped guide you in the right direction for grading in premiere pro. But as far as presets go, I unfortunately don’t have a “one size fits all” preset that I use for the Typhoon H footage. Generally speaking all the...

    Mixing Typhoon H (CGO3+) Footage with a Cinema Camera (video quality test)

    Thanks Tecneek. Yeah some of the footage came out pretty good, and I’m looking forward to trying out some slightly different settings/color grading options in future videos.
