    H920 replacement battery

    I have a few sets of aftermarket (Gens Ace) batteries for my H920 and I just soldered on new EC3 connectors. It is a tight fit with the 10 AWG wires but definitely able to be soldered on there. I always try to avoid unsoldering the wires from the cell tabs on lithium batteries. It can be very...

    Aftermarket batteries

    @SkyVidTek haha yep... I made that mistake once and once only (see photo attached). Wire melted 2 of my fingers together. EC3 connectors can be a little more tricky to do then some other connectors. Mostly when re-inserting metal plugs into the plastic housings. Just take your time and use...

    Aftermarket batteries

    Yep use Gens Ace 45C 5000mAh. 2 fit snug and they will give you great flight times... Much better than the crappy Yuneec batteries. You can 2 of them on eBay for about $200

    H480 External Antenna mod to H920+

    Very nice. I love my Itelite setup. Combined with the external mounted antennas on the aircraft as well you'll see a HUGE improvement. My range with these 2 mods tripled

    Gimbal Foam Blocks... Help

    Haha yea the 3 "new" batteries. Might as well use them for door stoppers. What a joke. Shortly after getting mine I had to go on a mission to find replacement batteries also. I had a hard time finding much useful info on possible alternative aftermarket batteries so I just got out my micrometer...

    FPV mod on my H920

    Very nice. I've done similar mods to a few birds of mine in the past. 1st was my Inspire 1 Pro back in 2015. It was a great bird at the time for dual operator but had no FPV cam for the pilot so I fixed it up with a 5G8 setup, wired in clean, running off the flight battery with a small Fat Shark...

    H480 External Antenna mod to H920+

    Very nice! When you get the antenna array for the ST16 installed combined with the external antennas on the H920, you'll see a huge improvement. At first I was having problems with the video dropping out well before the control and telemetry links, then with just the Itelite antenna combo, I was...

    Gimbal Foam Blocks... Help

    OMG ha, I'm such an idiot. I've been fumbling with those blocks for like 3 months ha. I don't know how I haves tried them in that configuration?? Thanks, I appreciate it. How do you find your H920? I operate an aerial photography and production company with a fleet of drones so I have a lot of...

    H920 replacement battery

    I've been testing several different batteries in my 920+ since I came to find the stock Yuneec batteries were a joke. Within 6 charge cycles they went from about 12 minutes down to about 4-5 minutes. Next I tried SMC 5000 90C X 2. They are made more for RC off road brushless cars/trucks. They...

    H480 External Antenna mod to H920+

    post: 224960, member: 5827"] So was I wondering if anyone has made this conversion? I'm referring to the external antenna conversion available from Terrestrial Imaging https://store.terrestrialimaging.com/diy_antenna_tyh to extend the early H480 copter's internal antenna wires to the outside...

    Antenna mod for H920 and 920 plus

    Yea the stock H920/plus antenna setup is a joke. I was barely getting 1500 feet with little to no wifi noise. I just couldn't accept that so I got the Itelite DBS system for the controller and modded the drone with 2 external antennas for the receiver (control & telemetry). Check the pics...

    Gimbal Foam Blocks... Help

    Ha no, but that is tricky as well ha, there are 2 foam blocks kinda 3D "L" shaped that came in the ProAction case I believe that are meant to keep the camera straight and secure on the gimbal while transporting. I'm 99% sure this is their purpose as every drone I've purchased comes with a gimbal...

    Gimbal Foam Blocks... Help

    I've had my H920+ w CGO4 for a few months now but my question is... How do these *** foam blocks fit in to the gimbal for storage travel etc?? I've been trying to figure it out for a while now but it seems to rival the difficulty of solving a friggin rubix cube. If anyone knows the proper...

    Aerial Drone Trespassing Trial Wednesday

    Haha right!? I still can't figure out why people instantly hate drones. People seem to all assume they live lives so interesting that there are perfect strangers out there purchasing expensive equipment, learning how to operate it and attempting to spy on them while they are clipping their toe...

    Tornado H920+ Battery question

    ....Here is the original hard case and package from the SMC batteries. I actually found them at my local hobby shop (High-Fly Hobbies in Daytona Beach, FL). For 2 of them they were about the same price as the 2 pack of Yuneec batteries. I tried them last night. I flew for 22 minutes with no...
