As I understand it, the smaller Typhoon H has no APIs for developers to use for an advanced mission planner like Litchi or Drone Deploy. The H 520 and others have mission planning software, not the original H. Programming 'waypoints' for the CCC - Curved Cable Cam either in the air or with an...

Vertigo's fine, repaired my CGO-ET, is a Yuneec dealer. Somebody else mentioned Yuneec Skins, and he's good too, extending the value of these old drones...

FWIW, The OP didn't mention the agonizing wait under a spot wide open to the sky for the H to update its 'starbrary' after a long period of disuse? I've had to wait 20 minutes, in a cul de sac with a clear view of the sky all around, to get it's happy sound to take off. They're squirrely if...

The CGO-ET writes the thermal and visible video in a multi-track file that's not directly usable by all video editors. I use Camtasia for editing and compositing, which won't handle the multi-tracks. VLCPlayer and MKVToolnix can separate the images for you into MKV, MKVToolnix can export them...

You've got more skills than I have, so have at it, lotsa luck, it sound like you're planning to do a lot more than just flashing. I believe the guy at Vertigo who might be the last of the good Yuneec dealers over here, plus the advice of half a dozen Yuneec Pilots here. I don't know exactly...

'Should be' is the thing, but the two versions of the CGO-ET are not swappable. The Part #s are different for the two versions. They look the same to me, but they are not swappable, and there's no flashing one to become the other. I've got H480s, bought the wrong CGO-ET for them some time ago...

Also, for Windows users it's a tortured work-flow to get the imagery off the camera. It records the thermal and low-light separately in a multi-track video and the two streams are different sizes. They need to be split apart and the low-res thermal overlaid on the low-light images with a video...

Thanks for letting me know what they're worth to you. I've got to let the auction run, will see what they're worth next Saturday. I'll have another Typhoon, ST-16, and CGO3+ ready to put up next week. eBay & PayPal are easiest for me, and typhoonpilots.com looks like it's a good way to get...

The GiFi battery that's crashed isn't the one that failed in the drone, btw, it was brand-new and the drone crashed when it drifted into a tree. The crashed drone listed is the one that had the 'questionable' battery and I believe somebody who can use a soldering iron and test batteries would...

Hi, I hope I qualify to post a link to Typhoon H stuff on eBay? And I appreciate the work of the moderators for this forum! I've miraculously avoided crashing my CGO-ET cameras and have recently got two brand-new H's to fly them. I'm embarrassed to say that I've crashed two H's recently, and...

For the photos there's no extra tools required but a capable photo editor like GIMP or PhotoShop. For photos the CGO-ET writes separate low-resolution thermal and higher-resolution visible images to the SD card so it's easy to flat the thermal image on a semi-transparent layer above the visible...

I think the image posted is a photo, not a video, and what I posted was for splitting the thermal video from the vlow-light video from the SD card so it can be treated like Griffin Arial did with the photos. The CGO-ET puts the thermal and visible video on the same 'two-track' file and...

I think you got it the best it can be with the CGO-ET rig...

The CGO-ET is a low-resolution thermal camera, 160X120, which is why it's inexpensive. It works fine for some applications. But, to get higher resolution thermal images costs $5,000+++. The new EVO 2 with 640X512 thermal resolution is upwards of $10,000. The Mavic 2 Dual is low-resolution...

Here's a suggestion: I've had good luck by putting used drones and kit on eBay for the lowest price I'd take to pack and ship them, then posting a link in the pilots.com forum for that brand. Working with eBay and PayPal protects buyer and seller, makes it easy. I ship only to the...
