Using ST10+ as second controler

DroneClone · Apr 23, 2016

That's great, but I would definitely wait till Real Sense and learn to fly in "Smart" mode for a while if you are new to drones. Even better assuming you have never flown a drone, buy a cheap Hudson H107C or something, to learn to use sticks and maneuvers.It will save you lots of money and anguish in the long run. Not saying you don't know how to fly, just assuming you have no experience.

I forgot to add---Before you fly between trees, trust me trees are drones #1 enemies !

HarveyC · Apr 23, 2016

Thanks, I'll give that more thought. I do have 90 acres of open cropland to also practice over besides my orchards. When flying between trees I would be fairly close to the ground, 5-10 feet and some of that time would also be using the wizard for the TH to follow me slowly, nothing crazy. I saw ACES sold an inexpensive virtual trainer to practice with but it doesn't list the ST16 (yet).

I did order a Hudson tonight and will be playing with that in a few days. I do also plan to be flying the H in smart mode until I am semi-confident in my abilities.

I guarantee if you learn to fly the Hudson well, when you get the "H" it will be a walk in the park !, Just take it slow till you get comfortable, and remember "TREES" are your enemy, stay away from the or well above them always! Best of sucess !

Trees are my livelihood and will be the subject of many of my videos for marketing purposes. I expect speeds to be slow, FWIW.

Great ! You'll have no problems after to get simulated !

I saw this on Facebook Steve Reese of Yuneec APV with a case for the Typhoon H made by GPC, Inc. This case accommodates the ST16 controller as well as a ST10 controll (plus 5 batteries, etc.). While not very concrete, this might be some indication that the ST10 will be able to control the Typhoon H.

Nice, fits a lot of batteries also !

I sent a PM to Yuneec APV asking about the above and received the following reply:

ST10 is not compatible with Typhoon H. ST10 will only allow video link to viewable on LCD screen. ST16, ST12 and wizard are compatible

Any idea where I could get st-12 or st16?

No. I've asked ACES (the dealer I ordered my H from) and they said they don't have them yet. I see a ST24 for sale on eBay but not certain that will work and not willing to shell out the bucks for that at this time anyways.

Thanks ...Funny i was looking at the st-24 ebay with your same concerns...

Seems that to run a dual controller setup just to control the camera is a pain. My ideal setup would be with the ST16 as the primary controller.... With a tablet running a CGO App that just controled the camera. This app would just need to be an updated version of the current one from Yuneec.... With the camera control code from the ST16 integrated into the application.

I mean Yuneec could even make it a payware version of the current app to generate some extra income to cover the costs of the upgrade.

I know for myself.... I would be much happier handing a tablet to someone that let's them control just the camera rather than a full controller.

Anway.... Just my 2c worth of thinking.

Cheers....

That would be really awesome on my iPad Pro!

I believe the st12 is the same dimensions of st10, with just 2 more channels to operate the gimbal pan. My guess the st12 would fit in the case in the st10 spot. I posted a few links from my st12 research somewhere. I will try to find them and post them here.
