    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    The planets weren't aligned today, the wind was 15G20kts so didn't fly, had to get show open shots with jib. Next week should be better. Thanks everyone for the help.

    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    Another data point. I recorded and flew a CCC shot on the show today but waited 10 mins or so with both ST-16 and TH on and 17 satellites acquired before taking off. Flew path multiple times with repeatable altitude levels within a foot or two. May have been lucky, barometric pressure levels may...

    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    Good information, thanks. Anyone fly the other drones and is altitude more reliable?

    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    Thanks for the info Steve, I will try a longer time before launch to gain a more accurate GPS fix. Are you saying the Typhoon H has a separate barometric altimeter and doesn't use GPS altitude? That never occurred to me.

    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    Thanks for replying Bill, interesting data point. In my situation this morning I flew the waypoints only 10 mins after I'd recorded them, I thought they'd hold for that long.

    Curved Cable Cam Altitude?

    I was flying the trusty Typhoon H for a TV show today and set up my waypoints and when I flew the saved CCC the drone was always in perfect position but was lower by maybe 5'. This is not the first time I've seen this behavior, four questions: 1) Have any of you experienced this same CCC...

    Curved Cable Cam Speed

    An entry on other forum explains CCC speed concisely, but I hadn't been able to make it work, at least not consistently. Curve Cable Cam speed "After you set your waypoints try these steps. 1. once you get to your 1st point and push the left stick forward (away from you ) to get it started on...

    V3.01 Mutli ST16s can bind one camera now ???

    Excellent, thanks for the help. Now I'll have to upgrade the firmware, it's still the original from when I bought it in May.

    V3.01 Mutli ST16s can bind one camera now ???

    Great, thanks for the reply. Sorry to be thick, to confirm: If you manipulate the camera controls on the drone flying st16 there is no response although you see the camera image on your screen, correct? I see some cheap st16s on eBay, I'm going to pick one up.

    V3.01 Mutli ST16s can bind one camera now ???

    Release notes for V3.01 says, "Mutli ST16s can bind one camera now," Has anyone tried this? I'm guessing both controllers display the camera image, but only one ST-16 operates the camera while the other operates the drone, can anyone confirm this? Thanks for the help.

    Alternate Backpack for Typhoon H?

    I called Copter Source back before I cancelled my B&H order. The rep said the distributor told her the wrong price and that it was supposed to be $100 all along. She's UPS-ing today's orders, including mine, right now. PS. Now only 7 left.

    Alternate Backpack for Typhoon H?

    I spoke to a pleasant woman at Copter Source who told me that, yes, $190 was the price, nothing she could do. I considered again the Drones Plus case that's great protection, but HUGE. Just now, looked again and Copter Source has the Yuneec soft backpack for $100, and 10 in stock... Now 9.

    Alternate Backpack for Typhoon H?

    Has anyone here actually used this official Yuneec soft backpack? Is it significantly better than the $30 alternative? Thanks for the help.
