    What is needed to Upgrade a Typhoon H to H520

    You might also check with forum member "Pöllö"...(https://yuneecpilots.com/members/p%C3%B6ll%C3%B6.19352/)....he wrote the Pix4 Thunderbird package that fundamentally changes the way the H operates. It flashes the firmware on the H, and voids your warranty, if you have one....but...it gives the...

    Q500 External Battery Tray

    There's a listing on E-bay for just such a product. It includes an adapter plate to use a battery internally, and a way to attach larger batteries externally....$28.00 price point.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/263829665899?hash=item3d6d79386b:g:X4MAAOSwqUld5mLX

    3D landscape scanning

    You could do simple photogrammetry, and come up with perfectly good landscape maps, with elevational changes, without Lidar. Just fly a pattern with plenty of overlap between the images, and then an orbit or two with good oblique images. Pix4D and CapturingReality are both fairly expensive...

    Photogrammetry Apps Comparison (by a noob)

    The Camaro was done in 2017, if memory serves me correct. Recap has gotten a lot better. It was done with a point and shoot, about 10 feet away from the vehicle, moving around the vehicle, stopping at about 24 stations, every 15 degrees or so, and 4-5 photos at each station. Total...

    Photogrammetry Apps Comparison (by a noob)

    I've tried most of the OpenSource stuff out there and many of the retail offerings. I use Pix4D for large accident sites, and I use Recap Pro photo for things that have shiny surfaces, like vehicles. It seems to do better for that type of thing that Pix does. The Pix4D price structure...

    Weird Error message

    I've got a couple of Typhoon H's and am familiar with 5 rotor mode....I recently acquired a Typhoon Q500, and a Typhoon G....I had some calibration, responsiveness issues with the Q500, and tipped it over on landing and breaking a prop ....I immediately got a "entering 5 rotor mode" message on a...

    CGO3+ Flashing green light [HELP]

    I can tell you from recent experience that Vertigo Drones sells the vertical arm for about $75. I toyed with trying to install it myself and - well - my hands are too big and unsteady (which might explain MY crash) to be fumbling about with tiny bits, so I sent it to this guy...and he repaired...

    CGO3+ Repair Needed

    DEAL OF THE DAY!! CGO3

    The CGO3 in the original post, listed for $100, was for the Q500. The one I bought in the post above , for $275, was a GO3+, for an H. The link takes you to his repair service. He's apparently repairing both types of cameras, and offering a warranty, as long as the stickers he affixes to...

    DEAL OF THE DAY!! CGO3

    There's a guy in Powder Springs, GA., who repairs them. You'll see him advertise a $139.00 rebuild on E-bay. I bought a used CG03+ from him for about $275, which has worked fine thus far....I sent my damaged camera to him to fix...I'll let you know how he does on the repair...

    DEAL OF THE DAY!! CGO3

    I'd offered her $50 and she responded with $75, but I was about 6 minutes too late in responding...Somebody else scarfed it up.. I bought a crashed Typhoon H for $100...we'll see how bad it is when it gets here...

    GREAT Website for used drones

    I've been hurt by Goodwill. Some of the fashion "finds" at Goodwill that people think are cool have caused irreparable damage to my retinas... It hasn't been the poor folks who've gone there in search of affordable haberdashery who've facilitated this. It's been the folks who could afford...

    DEAL OF THE DAY!! CGO3

    The top mounting plate for the gimbal is gone...crash? If so, how does she know it still works?

    Can you swap the CG03+ with a C23 on a Typhoon H and control it with a ST-16?

    I guess my view is that as long as the camera can be operated, I don't care what it's carried aloft by. Typhoon H, H Plus, glider, balloon....carrier pigeon...whatever works..
