    Have you ever evaluate the Typhoon H's camera performance?

    Yeah it seems pointless to complain and sling mud. But I am interested in hearing about DC's experiences getting the most via manual settings.

    Have you ever evaluate the Typhoon H's camera performance?

    Ha ha. Okay good to know. There was a fight in RCG the other day over how 'real' the pictures were in this link showing Typhoon H compared with other cameras. Without seeing the exif data it seems impossible to verify, but have seen complaints about the auto mode elsewhere. Let us know what else...

    Lucky guy! For the camera, I thought the lens was pretty wide no? Also, the noise and colour on the CGO3 left a lot to be desired. What did they do to improve it? Thanks!

    Really? In what sense? We're all left guessing as we wait for the package to arrive ;)

    Hope no one got fed up with Yuncee delays & ordered a PRODRONE

    There's a lot of vaporware in the drone game right now. DJI has done an alright job, but the Inspire 1 was delayed several months and then there was the whole waypoints fiasco. 3DR and Yuneec have had similar problems. Growing pains of a new industry...

    OT - Ignore list for the DJI trolls?

    There's a difference between a troll - "XYZ sucks!" - and highlighting props in the shots, tilted horizons, distortion, the fact that sonar doesn't always work as well as computer vision, shipping times, viability of RealSense etc. Unfortunately the latter also gets called out as a troll both...

    OT - Ignore list for the DJI trolls?

    i've fairly new here but i have seen a lot of useless comments pop up recently. that said, both at RCG and here, i see people raising legitimate questions about the H being labeled trolls or "DJI employees". i think the fanboy culture cuts both ways. imho many of these questions will be / are...

    Typhoon H review

    Sure. Fanboys aside though, sonar is great for sensing obstacles but I've not seen it working for navigating around obstacles which requires vision and some processing power. Not a big deal for just regular piloting but seems really useful for when engaging follow me, waypoints, etc.

    Programming a Typhoon H app to automatically take 360 panoramas

    It seems like it will be easier with a 360 rotating gimbal, but I'm with you - the lack of 3rd party app support is going to limit over time depending on what you want to do with your bird. I actually prefer AutoPilot by AutoFlight Logic to any other built-in smart flight solution...

    Typhoon H review

    True! Any indication how the Realsense will work in sunlight? Saw that it's not really designed for working outdoors and the only demos I've seen so far are indoors. Eager to hear about anyone's hands-on experience with this one working outdoors in sunlight

    Typhoon H - How to Calibrate the Compass

    Haha that document is nuts! The video is much clearer. I saw one review though that said that it came calibrated right out of the box (Simon Newton I think?). Will be interesting to see how often people actually have to calibrate. Doing each side twice is going to make getting up in the air much...

    They Called Me Just Now!

    This is a dumb question (new to this forum I'm afraid), but any word about when the other modules are shipping - Real Sense, VPS sensors, etc.?

    Help with choice of P4 or TH

    Same here. I'm excited to see the Typhoon H get in the hands of real users (I hear this week??). That said, I'm pretty surprised to see what some reviewers did with it. Lots of props or landing gears in the shot. Also this video has crazy horizon issues. Hoping it's just bad firmware or an...
