    Reliable flight distance

    The only problems I have with my H is that I cannot get any of the RealSense functions to work. Until I do (or until I buy something else) I've been working on determining how far and how high I can fly. So far my records are 392.3 feet high and 2,353 feet out there.

    What the user manual didn't tell me, but should have.

    Notwithstanding all these pictures and contrary statements, Yuneec got me up and running so that I can make money with my Typhoon H. That's all I need. The only thing I can't get it to do is save pictures in a DNG format. Yuneec can't get it to do that, either, so I'm probably buying a second...

    What the user manual didn't tell me, but should have.

    I believe there is another rendition, which is the one I have. It's a Typhoon H with Intel RealSense Technology in the programming. There is no module attached and there is no "Pro" after its name. When I bought this on March 18, 2017, I couldn't get RealSense to work, so I actually thought that...

    Altitude Restriction Question.

    The documentation that came with my Typhoon H gave me a link to knowbeforeyoufly.org. I do real estate photography and live in San Diego, so just about everything is within someone's NFZ. I have never had my H refuse to fly, and I don't have a waiver of any sort. I do call my local airports to...

    Yuneec getting out of business?

    Memorial Day sales around here. Fry's Electronics started the $400 off thing a couple of days ago and all of their local competition responded. So it's $1,499 everywhere but most sales end May 29 at midnight.

    Typhoon H flyaway.

    Yep. Familiar with all that, but my drone simply refuses to save in DNG format. I'm thinking of buying a second Typhoon this weekend since they are on sale, $400 off, for Memorial Day weekend. Then I can send my first Typhoon in for analysis/repair without losing flying time.

    Typhoon H flyaway.

    Yes, it's in the camera menu and even though the little button is highlighted I can't get this thing to take those pictures in DNG format. I'm almost ready to send it in for repair but that would mean me not flying for several days, perhaps weeks. Maybe I need to buy a second one. Hmmmmmm. They...

    Typhoon H flyaway.

    Doesn't work. I'm not taking videos yet because I have no use for them as far as making money so I'm never in video mode. I'd love to have that DNG format picture, though.

    Flying, filming, and privacy.

    That's not necessarily true. Here's the official position from the National Association of Realtors: Who Owns Your Property Photos?

    Typhoon H flyaway.

    I bought my H on March 18, 2017. It is not a Pro but the ST-16 has 3 antennas. I could not get the Wizard to work at all, could not get any of the Intel RealSense stuff to work, and could not get it to take pictures in DNG format. Elsewhere on this forum I read about firmware solving all these...

    New drone user. Come help me out?

    The H camera is not the best drone camera but you can make the videos quite exceptional if you'll learn how to use some good video editing software. Don't video into the sun unless you really do want an explosion in the sky. Even good video editing sofware is not going to help mute the...

    H flipping over

    I updated the firmware on mine before every flying it. At first it always flipped over. Then I discovered Turtle mode. Now it never flips over.

    Pictures/videos on ST16 seem to have been deleted

    The SD card is being detected but nothing was being written to it. Since I posted, I did a firmware update and was able to get Typhoon to take a picture and write it to the SD card, and I was able to move it from the SD card to my computer. I'm off to flying tomorrow to see how it reacts in the...

    Pictures/videos on ST16 seem to have been deleted

    My ST-16 gallery shows all the pictures I have taken but they don't get written to any SD card. I'm at a loss as to what to try.
