Yes, as others have said, that is without RealSense. The Amazon ad says it's YUNTYHBPUS, the RealSense model is YUNTHBRUS. With RealSense is $1149

I should have said that differently. It was kind of wandering in a small area and did stay hovering within a few feet. The wind was actually stronger than I really felt comfortable to fly in. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I had looked at the codes on page 23 and thought I should have a solid purple. My bad and I appreciate the help.

While flying yesterday I noticed the light on the H body was purple but every 5 seconds or so it flashed white. Clear flying field, 17 sats on both bird and ST-16. No warnings on ST-16. Restarted but same white flashes. It flew normally with only minor drifting. It's usually rock steady but...

But wouldn't 200' of 2 conductor insulated 26 Ga copper wire still be so heavy that the H couldn't lift it? I couldn't find an exact weight but it would be in the 2 Lb range. I'm thinking that eliminating the on-board battery will help but would need an on-board voltage regulator.

200 feet might be above the possibilities. 200 Feet of 18 ga stranded copper (single conductor) is just under one pound. Aluminum would be less but more subject to breaking from wire flexing.

As it's been already said by others, when watching YouTube videos for comparisons, most are made by biased individuals who take a serious slant to their favorite.

I was having an issue with the neck strap quick clips binding with the styrofoam carrying case insert. Sometimes removing the ST-16 from the case would cause a clip to disconnect from the ST-16. Along with the paranoia of scratching the ST-16 screen, I completely removed the clips. A little bit...

At 2 seconds to deploy and open, the drone falls 20 meters (65 feet). With a one second reaction time, you need to be at least a 45 meter (148 feet) minimum altitude. Aerodynamics and weather conditions not considered. What I don't know is how the added weight affects battery charge life.

Using the Splat Calculator: The Splat Calculator - A Free Fall Calculator 100 meter height & 2 kg mass The time until impact is 4.52 seconds. Not much time to manually react and achieve deployment.

Second the landing pad. They're cheap and eliminates the grass and dirt storm when the props start.

On maybe my third flight, I felt competent enough to try to maneuver through some hanging Spanish Moss for an eerie video scene. It didn't work out for me. On the good side, it tangled in the moss and didn't fall.

Sometimes shipment causes landing gear to "stick" or not operate completely. Aside from contacting Yuneec, try this first. With the props off, ST16 landing gear switch in the "down" position, turn of the ST16, then turn on the H. Holding the H with your hand, turn it completely upside down. Now...
