    Q500 4K drifting to the right

    Sounds to me like the ST-10+ has a defective part in it. You might have to send it back to Yuneec for them to test/repair it. If you know anyone close by or there is a hobby shop that sells the Yuneec branded products they could use their good/working ST-10+ to bind to your Q and see if it does...

    Require a lens hood?

    If you look around at various plastic bottle necks, like a Coke bottle, dish washing liquid, shampoo, etc... and find one that might be the look/size you are going for then cut it down to size, get the spray paint made for plastic and spray it flat black. Or find some thin plastic sheet and go...

    I lost my drone

    If/when you find it or buy a replacement get one of these for exact location. It works perfectly and gives you pinpoint location. When I'm not flying my Q I put it inside my older vehicle so in case it would get stolen I could find it or give the info to the police. Also if someone stole your...

    Unstable flight issues

    Sloppy flights as in taking off? Landing? ..or just flying in general? If you are trying to land and coming straight down you can get in some turbulent air and the Q will be unstable so it's always best to be going forward or rounding in circles when you are decreasing altitude so you wont' get...

    Warbling Video Gone!

    Sometimes even the stock Yuneec props can be slightly out of balance so if you see any vibration at all before taking off on flights then it's best to check/balance if you need. Both the AeroNaut and Maytech carbon fiber props I purchased from Frank at Carolina Dronz were perfectly balanced from...

    Software Hack

    As Sticks said plug the USB to Q adapter wire into your PC after you've downloaded the GUI from Yuneec suppport/download page and you can change any of the smart mode Geo Fence parameters with the GUI. It will allow you to change the max altitude and range. Angle mode is not hard to master...

    Battery charging

    Best bet is to get a good aftermarket charger than can charge up to 6-7 amps and two batteries at a time and one that can do discharge cycle also that way you can let them rest when not in use at the proper storage voltage per cell. And one that shows the individual cell voltage and balances all...

    Q500 upgrades

    Not possible with Yuneec Q500+, Blade Chroma, nor the 4K model. No hardware or software supports obstacle avoidance on those models. No 3rd party either. Only the H Pro w/Intel real sense module has obstacle avoidance.

    400' Altitude Limitation

    As Sticks said it is the computer GUI that you can load the settings into the Q as far as what you want the max altitude will be. No special firmware needed. Now if you are in a NFZ (no fly zone- 5 miles within major airport) that is what Yuneec firmware on all their UAS's limit you to and...

    GPS Tracker advise

    I've had great luck with the drone-mods UAV locator. When not using on the Q I put it in my older vehicle in case of my SUV getting stolen. Works perfect even inside a garage inside the car. Drone Mods UAV Locator INFO: Features * Standalone device powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion 1300...
