    Waiting and Excited

    Certainly not a bad idea to fly without the camera and gimbal as that tends to be the most easily damaged part if you crash or land extremely hard. I flew mine the first few times without it so I was forced to maintain visual line of sight. It helped me understand the flight characteristics of...

    Better and longer video usb streaming transmitter for gopro !

    The 29c release just came out last week so the 24c release was the latest since fall of last year. Not sure what was in the latest ST10+ firmware build but it does seem like the battery warning's start much later then previous. Also, I seem to recall reading some where at some time in a place...

    Hi, my name is Tom 'a new Chroma 4K Pilot' - (New to this Site)

    If you can solder or know someone who can then it's a pretty easy fix since they are clearly labelled. Perhaps a local hobby shop if you have one in your area can do it for a small fee.

    Via the Q500 GUI under calibration. This only applies to smart mode and is set to 91m by default.

    Better and longer video usb streaming transmitter for gopro !

    Try connecting a dual band wifi device to the MK58 and see what kind of signal range you can get. At least can rule out the ST10 if it behaves the same on your mobile device. On a side note, I just did a better range test yesterday on my latest replacement. Was able to maintain video downlink...

    Prop Balancing

    Good success with the DuBro balancer. You will need the correct balancing rod for your application. There's a few places that sell Yuneec balancing rods online ranging from $12 to $25.

    Yuneec Q500 4K thoughts

    Sadly Yuneec CS wasn't much help. The standard response of you can send it to us for "warranty inspection" spiel even after providing photo evidence. Turn around time right now is approximately 4 weeks with an additional week each way for coast to coast ground shipping. Another month and a half...

    Better and longer video usb streaming transmitter for gopro !

    Interesting, my first unit wouldn't provide video beyond 40 feet due to a faulty MK58 downlink. Yuneec suggested I exchange the entire thing so I did and I got a replacement yesterday. I'm happy to say that the video downlink issue is fixed (whole different set of issues now though :(). I...

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

    I don't have the 4K model but I do have the G. I have encountered significant "yaw effect" on the platform. Under moderate wind conditions the quad is violently yawed left or right when typically navigating into the wind. Kind of scary experiencing this uncontrolled behavior and erratic...

    I definitely appreciate WilliePlas honest assessment of the product and I can't help but agree on many of the points since owning both platforms.
