I'm hoping to buy an H Pro in the near future. I've been flying RC since 1990 - fixed wing and more recently multi-rotors. I've been following the H since it released and it seems to fit the bill for what I need in a UAV camera platform, much better than the DJI's. In particular, the hex format...

Buy an H Pro now or wait and see what upgrades/new products (if any) Yuneec release in the next few months? There is a rumour they are working on an improved camera and with the release of the Phanny 4 Pro one would hope they are! It's probably unlikely that Yuneec would just start rolling out...

Why? You can assume a fixed voltage drop over a fixed length of wire, so AC - DC conversion and voltage regulation can take place on the ground. In any case, converting from AC to DC just requires diodes. The circuitry would be lighter weight than a battery anyway.

What do you think is in the huge case that stays on the ground? Putting the electronics on the craft would defeat the object of a leashed system, so they remain on the ground. Thus the craft is lighter than when loaded with a full battery.
