    Q500 4K came with ST12 controller

    No. It was the toggle switch that I have in a yellow box on the left side. It is not on my ST 10 which I have from a previous Q500, but it is on ST 12. Again. I figured that out. Thanks for the help and replies.

    Q500 4K came with ST12 controller

    Nope. But I figured it out. It's the landing gear up/down toggle which does not apply to my Q500 4K anyway. But that would be cool if it did.

    Q500 4K came with ST12 controller

    I assume this (in the yellow box) is the landing gear button that has no function with the Q500 4K. I know the dial on the right has no function. But what is this one? I also have the ST 12 with my Q500 4K.

    Crashed and in a world of hurt.

    Bummer. Purchased a new cable that came in the bag with the white cable, a new lens, etc. Plugged in the black cable and when I turn on the controller and the 4K it says, won't connect. I think the mainboard has a problem because the little white connector inside the mainboard is a bit loose...

    Crashed and in a world of hurt.

    Thanks for your help. Do you think I can use heat shrink tubing to cover those wires? I bought the cable off of ebay. Had no idea I could get one. The guy will ship it to Hawaii as some of the others would not, which is completely ridiculous!

    Crashed and in a world of hurt.

    I crashed my Q500 4K yesterday. I had to retrieve it from the horse corral behind my house. Luckily my neighbor was not upset and let me go back there to get it. The gimbal came off and the two wires that are soldered into the mechanism detached. I think that actually happened in a previous...

    Completely Fed Up With Yuneec Customer Service

    Wow. This is really too bad. It appears that after having great customer service for a long time and getting good reviews on it (that is why I bought my Q500 4K) that the company has forgotten how important it is! Yuneec is apparently becoming just like all the other companies, including DJI...

    Question regarding camera settings.

    Wow. Awesome. So this was a photo. Would I be using similar settings for video in the Sunset?

    Question regarding camera settings.

    So I was flying my Q500 4K under an amazing sunset up country in Maui. Filming and taking photos. What I found was that the camera which was set to sunny day did not pick up the beautiful colors of the sunset. So I tried the cloudy setting and it still did not get the colors. If I recall...

    camera slightly cockeyed.

    On my subsequent flights when I power on the camera aligns properly. Still tilted when off but it seems to be straight now when flying. So I guess it was a temporary glitch. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Completely Fed Up With Yuneec Customer Service

    I'm sorry I have to ask, but, Who is your dealer? Did you ask them for help at all? I realize the drone says on the box not to work with the dealer but many dealers will help any way. It was worth a try after all the hassle you went through. I truly believe that Drones + or one of the other...

    camera slightly cockeyed.

    Thank you very much John. I was kind of bummed yesterday because I was in a very beautiful spot in Up Country Maui. Oh well, I can go back up there any time and take some good videos now that I know this.

    camera slightly cockeyed.

    Had a crash a while back which did not damage other then to break a couple of props. First time I took out the quad I noticed that the camera was slightly cockeyed. I flew it and took a couple of videos to test and of course the videos came out cockeyed. The camera works fine, it moved up and...

    I think you are all drinking Yunnec's kool-aid....

    Who did you order it from? I walked into Drones plus and walked out the door with my quad in hand in minutes. Every time I have contacted Yuneec USA they have been more then helpful. You should see the horrible reports on DJI customer service. The very good reports about Yuneec customer service...
