    Build 784 is da BOMB!

    I feel like I have to be missing something obvious. When I check for software updates, it tells me my current version is 777, which is true. It says the available updates are 777...no update required. I'm doing this the same way I've done previous updates, so I'm at a loss at how to download the...

    Freewell ND Filters for H Plus

    I'm glad you pointed that out! I completely missed that jump in f-stop. That's what I get for buying in a rush. Time to cancel and check the price on a different bundle or individual filters.

    Freewell ND Filters for H Plus

    I bought Gobe's 40.5mm "ND Family" set of filters (ND 2, 4, 8, 64 and 1000) for $81 US, direct from their web site. I didn't see that bundle on Amazon.

    Yuneec Support Uniquely Unsupportive

    That's a really good point. I haven't tried those other options. I think my complaint is valid wrt email support, but I need to try those other avenues before making it a federal case. I'll update the thread with the results when I've contacted them them through chat or phone.

    Yuneec Support Uniquely Unsupportive

    Yeah, lame title, but made you look :) I've got a Typhoon H Plus filter adapter that doesn't fit on the C23 mount. It was like that out of the box. This was verified by another YuneecPilots member using his H Plus. I submitted a support case on 9/11 and I've been trying to find out how this can...

    What the FAA Part 107 is Like

    I highly recommend Jonathan Rupprecht's website, Drone Attorney and Legal Assistance -. It has a wealth of information on part 107, many links to external resources, and practice questions for the part 107 test. The description of the test in data2000's link is right in line with what my...

    DroneInsurance.com

    I signed up for a Verifly account as well, thanks to Ty Pilot for the reference. I assume others know about it, but I'm a rookie at anything commercial when it comes to RC, so thanks for the heads up on Verifly, Pat. I also insured with DroneInsurance for their base coverage. I verified with...

    Freewell ND Filters for H Plus

    Good work, Pat! I've kept in touch with Freewell, and they were aware of my non-fitting adapter. I think they will be interested in this result, so I'll point them to your post.

    Pricing for H Plus Components

    I've got photo equipment coverage by State Farm for non-professional use. I haven't asked them about drone coverage for business use yet, but that's on the agenda for tomorrow. I'm reading about State Farm coverage under personal articles (same as my photo equipment) and seeing very conflicting...

    Pricing for H Plus Components

    I was going to do that very thing, but then I thought about the actual cost of replacing the H Plus platform if I total the thing before they start making the platform available a la carte. Right now, there's no way I'd be able to replace the platform other than buying the whole package again...

    Pricing for H Plus Components

    I've been looking at insurance and one of the potential insurers asks for separate replacement costs for the platform, the sensor and ground equipment. I hadn't been able to find any info on the latter two items so I asked Yuneec. For anyone interested, this is what they told me (all prices US)...

    DroneInsurance.com

    I think most here are aware of it, but AMA's standard insurance that goes with membership doesn't cover use of the drone (or whatever RC aircraft you're using) as a business pursuit. AMA's commercial policy is competitive with others I've seen (my quote was $626 a year for $1M liability and...

    DroneInsurance.com

    Droneinsurance ought to be paying me for this. They are in bed with AirMap, and you can set up coverage on-site through the AirMap app, like Verifly. That gives me a warm fuzzy about the likelihood that they will have longevity as a company. I think the choices for me are down to those two insurers.

    DroneInsurance.com

    Good info, thanks. Droneinsurance has a similar feature where you can get flight coverage as-needed, but not down to an hour resolution. I think their smallest unit is one day for $30. I'm pretty sure that's $1M coverage but they go up to $25M. It covers the hull but if you are flying an...

    DroneInsurance.com

    In case anyone is interested, I looked at droneinsurance.com yesterday and found that they list the Typhoon H as one of the drones they cover. They listed the Typhoon H as a covered drone, but not the H Plus. I asked them about it, and the H Plus is now listed. Looks interesting. They launched...
