So, one of the first things I did was a suggestion that Steve Carr had which was checking the antenna. At that point even with the 4Hawks it was getting out not much further than 450 meters or so. Still within legal distance of being in VLOS. What seemed to have a better impact was in fact...

Yea, I saw this video too. It would unnerve me to no end to fly that distance. Of course, even with the 4Hawks, I can not even get a third of that distance which is fine because I don't trust the batteries I have to make it that far and back. I also ended up playing around with my 5.8g...

Wow, haha. Well, I've been landing completely wrong this whole time. I never pushed the red button until it hit the ground. I thought I watched just about every instructional youtube video on the Typhoon, but apparently I missed some. I'll give this a try this evening when it cools down...

Been flying for little over a year. Before flying I used to get really annoyed by them when I would go to the beach or other outdoor attractions. It honestly took one flight for me to completely change my mind and got pretty obsessed. I've had several small crashes really close to the ground...

It does happen in all locations. Although, I haven't tried to land it on the ground for some time now. I haven't associated compass warning with the landing, but I also compass calibrations about once a month depending on use frequency. No orange flashes from the status light either. Mrgs1...

The stick test revealed that my sticks work perfectly fine. I'm going to look into that a little further over the next couple days because I'm still pretty convinced that it is a firmware issue. The Typhoon stays pretty still when it's higher than 15 feet above ground. But once I start...

To clarify, the tipping over issue is due to a horrible drift my Typhoon has. It all began when I updated the firmware last year. It used to land like a champ. I probably should review some of the threads concerning this issue because I think some folks figured it out or at least had some...

I am from the US Huh, I'm not too sure that I've ever experienced this. But that is certainly interesting to know. I have gotten a sense from reading other threads here that the Typhoon H has a number of limitations. Such as, I stopped trying to land it on the ground because it tips over 80%...

Yes, I was using the square panel antenna prior. It's been several months since I used that Mushroom Antenna, but when I was I remember my video began cutting out under 1000'. I do typically fly at a lower elevation, the valley I live in is around 500' I believe. I never fly above 400' from...

Nah, I hear you. For one, I got pretty obsessed about learning about this drone. And secondly, I really am trying to establish what is fact and what is fiction. Do people actually get 2 miles of distance with their Typhoon H? Possibly. Is video established the entire time to their ST-16? I...

True, it is beginning to get close to being out of my line of sight. Not quite though and not that I want it out of my sight. There have been a number of occasions on the job or simply getting to a highly photogenic scene where getting that extra 300 feet or so would have made the shot. Aside...

Ok, I wasn't aware that there was yet another antenna involved for the camera. When I fly with a clear line of sight, say a field completely free of obstructions, I still lose video at about 1500 feet. Every time. Oddly, when I am in an orchard (which I live in one) my video signal cuts out...

Greetings! I've been a reader of this forum for a year now, since I inherited my Typhoon H. This forum has answered a lot of my questions about proper battery care, general maintenance and so on. But after a frustrating year with having this video problem, I joined today to ask. My video...
