Hey all,
New here, and all new to Yuneec.
Bought my H a couple of days ago, used, but only flown a handful times.
Being a videomaker I have a few camera's and I also have a DJI Mavic 1. The mavic has flown close to 1300km's in the last 3 years and I thought it would be time for something new.
I have been reading about Yuneec, and have flown a Q500 once (long time ago) and there was something telling me to buy an H, and so I did.
It flies like a dream, I mean the Mavic is rock solid as some of you might know, but the H is something different all together.
After a few flights and a few recordings there was some disappointment, the quality of the image was not good, and the footage was hardly usable.
Found a few things on this great forum, and that helped me to try and adjust the lens slightly. That helped, somewhat.. but the edges were still a bit soft, and the image was not what I wanted it to be.
And so came the choice to try and source a new lens...
Looking at the lenses available I found out 1 thing, the lenses available also fit a DJI Osmo, and that gave me an idea.
I have 2 Osmo's that didn't survive a drop from eye height during a shoot. The gimbal was broken, but the camera was fine, and that was a good camera, hence I put it away instead of throwing it away.
I thought, if the lenses that you can buy online state that they fit a DJI Osmo, the one in a DJI Osmo will also fit the CGO3....
So, I cracked on and took it apart. Once disassembled I took the lens out and tried it in the CGO.It went in, but the base was not good, the lens couldn't focus.
I took the CGO apart completely, and took the lens base off, something I have found on this forum as well. The lense base of the Osmo went straight on, and after that the lens was able to focus.
I've put everything together again and tried to finetune it. it is amazing! no more soft edges. The lens is a 3,6mm, and I went from a 115 FOV to a 94 FOV. Something I also like.
Now all looks like it was meant to be, no one knows what has been done to this camera.
I will post a good image later, it is very cloudy today, not ideal weather for a nice bright picture.
I have attached some images of the transformation.
So, if you have an old, broken DJI Osmo (NOT OSMO+ since that has zoom) you could do this swap as well, it is not too hard.
