    Do Smart and Home mode work when flying with GPS disabled?

    Hi Jules, If you take-off with GPS enabled then disable whilst in the air it will revert to GPS mode and fly back home as normal on loss of control link, hovering overhead until link is re-established or low battery hits. If you take off with GPS disabled from the get-go it will not RTH and...

    What if question

    Providing you have GPS enabled when you take off, it will return to home (at set RTH height) and hover overhead until either: a) connection is re-established with the ST-16 or b) the battery becomes low and then it will automatically land itself

    Video Bit Rate Question

    My guess would be it's to do with the compression algorithm. With a slower shutter speed there is more motion blur (a sort of smearing across frames). The compression algorithm will find this much easier to encode as a lot of pixels are similar between the frames due to this 'blur'. As the...

    Discounted CGO3 from Manfrotto UK

    Very tempted to get one of these and add the 8.25mm Peau Lens for a £300 inspection camera

    Someone found the full manual!

    Does the H520 have any form of team mode currently or is that a future feature? I saw nothing about it in the manual.

    Ooh this is interesting: Recalibrate the Compass anytime the H520 aircraft has moved more than five miles from the last Compass calibration. That's a very small amount compared to what they advise with the H

    Questions to ask at fair

    Yes, is the old ST16 compatible for team mode connection?

    Will the drone fly out of range or just stop

    I disagree with this, Telemetry seems to be completely separate from Control Link. This is why there are three antennae, one for control, one for video (which can become redundant 5.8GHz control), and one for telemetry. I seem to remember having seen instances on here where the telemetry section...

    You are perfectly correct. As mentioned, you have to initially take off with GPS active and disable whilst in flight but then it will RTH no problem. Telemetry is also recorded (including position) with GPS disabled.

    520 Teaser Video...

    Is that final shot of the H520 real? If so that was insanely close. There must be some video trickery going on or they were happy to write off a couple of units to get that shot! I need to start getting some more commercial work, the H520 looks like a great upgrade so far.
