    Worth it?

    What would you like to do with the drone? Learn to fly? Take good aerial video? Polish your flying skills? The Typhoon H is good for all of this. It's a powerful, stable platform that takes decent photos and 4K video of well lit scenes. Don't expect it to be aerobatic or particularly tough...

    H just flew away ?

    Yes, the experts on this forum are amazing! I had an erratic behaving TH that barely escaped a crash. Replacing the flight controller fixed the problem.

    Butterley Reservoir and Binn Moor

    I'm impressed. I didn't see any 8-bit color banding or bit rate issues. Keep up the good work.

    Butterley Reservoir and Binn Moor

    Beautiful drone shots! What editor are you using? The results are excellent.

    First flights and some ??

    Welcome wrench567. Good questions. After having troubles landing, even with the rate slider at max, I started using the Red Button for landing. It is extremely reliable. Just hover a few feet above your landing point, press and release the Red button a few times to lower the TH about 1 foot...

    CG03+ Audio on/off

    The sound is pretty annoying, but I have occasionally used the change of pitch or volume to help determine what the drone is doing. This may be useful in selecting edit points in your video production. Also, I've used the drone microphone sounds at the beginning and end of my videos to add a...

    Clouds

    If you've ever flown in an airplane, you will notice that ALL clouds are white on top. They only look dark from below because they are thick or dense.

    Has anyone seen a good video or pics of H+ vs H3 cameras ?

    I bought the Autel EVO II Pro with 1" sensor and adjustable aperture (cost $1600 to $1800). I'm very happy with the video quality, especially in H.265, 4K/30, LOG where you get 10-bit color and 120 Mbps. Also, there is very little, if any, residual image distortion. To take full advantage of...

    Has anyone seen a good video or pics of H+ vs H3 cameras ?

    On March 14, Whisperit mentioned that he used Distortion Correction on the E90. Is that option not available on the L1? How about the C23? In Ty Pilot's photos (above), distortion seems to be the biggest and most noticeable issue. I sure like how Ty color corrects the images. Thanks for...

    brightness and screen reading of the ST16

    Here's another home-built idea. The sun shade is fabricated from a cardboard box. The big difference between this design and others mentioned above is the face opening and cheap reading glasses. The face opening effectively blocks out brightness from behind the pilot. It's a lot like FPV...

    Has anyone seen a good video or pics of H+ vs H3 cameras ?

    I'm a mechanical engineer too. But I've gotten pretty picky about images. In this pair, the L1 may have slightly greater sharpness (distant trees) but the sky/clouds don't look as good as the E90. L1 sky looks a little ruddy when zoomed in. Both images must be very wide angle because of the...

    Has anyone seen a good video or pics of H+ vs H3 cameras ?

    I noticed that the church steeple in the far distance (on the right) is straight up/down in the E90 photo and leaning inward in the L1 photo. Also, the L1 sky has a hint of banding. Agree with you about the green and blue tints.

    another camera on the typhoon H

    I'm impressed with your videos using the GoPro Fusion 360. Does it use electronic image stabilization? The horizon was pretty straight and level, no matter the angle of the drone or how I viewed the image in 360-deg. That is quite different than as shown in the GoPro ads.

    Typhoon h lost control and crashed

    Your toilet-bowl effect caught my eye. My refurbished TH had a very bad TB effect after flying for several minutes. Almost crashed it. I sent it back to the refurbisher. He replaced the flight controller. It worked perfectly after that.

    Zoom on Typhoon H3

    I have found that "digital" zoom on a camera is no better or worse than zooming in post. You will probably have better control of the zoom in post, even changing the framing. Now, if it was "optical" zoom (like on many video cameras), that would be a different matter.
