Apparently Yuneec plans to release a version of the mantis in the future with a full on gimbal. I would wait for that version to spend a dime but to each his / her own. See the video here:

I may be interested but it seems someone else beat me to it :eek:

Are you saying the live view of the video that you see on the ST 10 remote is stuttering or are you saying that the video stutters when you pull it off the SD memory card and play it on your computer? Those are two different scenarios and can be caused by different factors. If it's the live...

I just hope they get a firmware update out to fix the yaw rates on the Breeze... It's value is realy minced to bits in 2018 without better yaw ... especially without a mechanical gimbal.

I can only imagine the level of angst now flowing through your veins. I'm not sure what was the case with your quad but it could have been a number of things. Steve Carr who has chimed in on this thread was a very big help in helping me narrow down the issue I had with my particular Q500 4k. Not...

Greetings, I hope the site admin doesn't cry foul but I wanted to publicly post an APB for those who may see this that are as passionate as I am when it comes to capturing conent from an aerial platform. Hopefully what I have to say speaks to the hearts of the pilots out there that still...

Happy Friday good folk! As promised, albeit a tad later than planned. I was able to run a full test today running through all 6 batteries with zero compass errors or erratic flight behavior. During my last test I flew through 4 batteries with clean flight logs. I am now confident that the...

Very interesting. Yuneec should hire you. It's the only way I would spend more money over there LOL

Steve, This is all great info. I will never know how that antenna wire got there but I do know of the other cases where Q's plummet without warning. I doubt that folks are out there opening the quads with all those screws and misplacing this wire in these other cases. I can tell you factually...

That sounds like a good move. The Q is a good beginner drone. I had to upgrade because I needed something else for real estate. I went with something more portable with more modern features ... yet I still love to fly the Q500 more because 1 I can always see it when I fly high 2 it's easy to...

Sir Thomas, Do you fly A Q500 or Typhoon and what has your experience been so far?

I have not spoken to them about my discovery of the misplaced wire but prior to that I spoke to them about the dips. Their recommendation was that I mail the drone in so they can fix it at my expense. I decided not to, bought the original Yuneec parts myself and opened the quad to find the...

Thomas, Thanks for the tips. I usually land in turtle mode because it is most stable. I did have to land in rabbit mode once when some storm like winds swept in out of nowhere when I was flying. On approaching, the Quad was about 45 degrees to the ground. I had to get creative, needed power...

Steve and Thomas, I did some testing this morning by flying through 4 batteries. I have uploaded a zip file of my flight logs. Telemetry files 91 - 97 are from today's flights. I looked through these and only saw one error in the error_flags1 field. In Telemetry file 92, there is a 12/100...

I have spent more time on the phone with Yuneec that I care to remember. They looked at my logs for a month then offered to fix the quad at my expense. They suspected that either the compass or GPS module needed to be replaced so I bought those on my own and plan to try the repair myself through...
