    SD card/Video recording

    I had a totally different problem with the camera (2 different cameras tried and both defective), but with the amount of posts I've seen noting various issues, I'm pretty certain that Yuneec is having real problems with the CG-03. I would honestly suggest not spending too much time trying to...

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    Thanks for the info, my thinking is exactly this, ie that there is a loose or broken connection. I'd be happy to unscrew the covers, but don't want to invalidate the warranty so I've emailed Yuneec asking whether they are happy for me to do this prior to returning the camera. I've done some...

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    Yes I am using the slider on the transmitter. Since the first post, I've also purchased a Wizard remote and after binding that to the quad, all controls work fine except the gimbal tilt. So I'm pretty certain it's a defective camera.

    Indeed it did, I'm such a kook!

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    The firmware update apparently improves the stability of the quad, it's not just for the Wizard. Quite a few YouTube videos about the benefits of V1.07. I'm pretty inexperienced too, but I have to say that in Smart Mode, the quad is incredibly easy to control. Happy flying!

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    thanks, all checked and everything is as it should be. I'm pretty certain I must have a circuit board or wiring issue. Time to request a replacement from Yuneec :(

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    There was a big red sticker included stating that the firmware needed to be upgraded before flying, so I'm simply following the manufacturers instructions! Failing to do that would potentially invalidate the warranty. I did turn on the quad before the update to make sure it powered up, the...

    Brand new q500 4k, gimbal not working

    Has anyone had issues with the CG03 gimbal? Took delivery of my new quad 2 days ago, updated firmware on the quad and transmitter, then made a few flights, but I can't get the gimbal to tilt from the ST10+. I am a newbie pilot, but do have some IT knowledge. I've tried re-binding the quad and...

    Smart Mode Issue

    So I think I'm probably just being a dumb a**... Have a feeling that I was probably inside the geo-perimeter safe mode uses and hence the quad wasn't prepared to fly any closer to me as a fail safe. I'll test again tomorrow and update the thread. Hopefully I'm just a kook?!!!

    Smart Mode Issue

    hi all, new to the Forum, great to have somewhere to be able to share experiences and ask for help! With that in mind, flew my 4k today for the first time and started in Smart Mode just to be safe. For some reason, it wouldn't fly backwards?! When I switched to Angle/Pilot mode, it flew...
