    Altitude reading within breeze cam

    Mine did that when trying to descend the craft was holding it's position but the altitude value was dropping. Was it ever unresponsive on your flight?

    Mantis Q

    There's never gimbal stabilization. At 1080p and lower it has a moving crop to attempt to stabilize the image digitally.

    I need advice or assistance if the right person reads this... regarding my Mantis Q! Please help!

    Even with GPS on, those sensors are still used. If they were only used in altitude hold, why include them on drones like the breeze which effectively lack this mode. The downward cameras can still cause issues with this, and even DJI suggest disabling when over water.

    New Yuneec drone MANTIS Q

    It's a servo used for tilting the camera, not a gimbal used for stabilization which is what 99% of people mean when referring to gimbals on drones. Other than flight time, there are no reasons to get this over the discounted mavic pro. Yuneec missed the mark by a couple hundred bucks on this...

    Maybe don't choose an untested, new product just to stand out amongst your friends? On point, is there a way to disable visual tracking? Over water it causes all sorts of issues. I'd agree to contact yuneec. They replaced my breeze under similar circumstances.

    Mantis Q

    I see some reviews suggesting gimbal stabilization. That is incorrect.

    Mantis Q

    The mavic pro can be had for $599 on sale now that the new version is out. Well worth $100 more.

    New Yuneec drone MANTIS Q

    With the original mavic pro hitting $599, this is a tough sell... Better flight time, but lower resolution, no gimbal.

    Breeze Cam has been restored to the Apple App Store!!!

    Were older versions better? I might try to pull an old apk.

    What type of MOBILE DEVICE do you use with your Breeze 4K

    You only need to set Android mode once I believe. I've only ever done it once.

    Breeze over water

    haha I love the rice note. Good of them to replace. The fact you can't turn off the visual positioning system is a real flaw. I also wish I could launch in altitude hold mode and then switch to gps.

    Yuneec Breeze 4K Drone Flight In Extreme Wind

    Yeah, disorienting is the word. I've done some diving at my dock for recovery and a couple feet of silt gets stirred up fast. I'm cave trained, but that's just enough to make me comfortable passing on that. Plus they replaced it, and it didn't have much sentimental value to me. I just ordered a...

    Yuneec Breeze 4K Drone Flight In Extreme Wind

    GPS, with a solid 10 satellites. With the controller, but I exited the task and tried using without, and then went back to the controller. Given the altitude was changing on screen as I attempted to land the craft, it seemingly was not a controller issue. Yes I am! Unfortunately where the first...

    Yuneec Breeze 4K Drone Flight In Extreme Wind

    It was quite weird. I'd hold down, watch the number drop, but the drone just stayed in position. Let off, and the number froze. Drone was stationary. I eventually flew as close as I could and just held down. I also tried to trigger the landing function, which flashed "landing" on screen for a...

    Yuneec Breeze 4K Drone Flight In Extreme Wind

    I flew in 12mph or so, and it did not go well. It struggled to descend. I'd hold down on the left stick, see the altitude on the screen "drop" but the drone stayed fixed. At the end it was at -80ft or so before I finally got it down. I assumed it was from wind, as it seemed to be pitching a bit...
