No, not operating out of line of site. The video starts to break up (no loss of control) at a couple hundred meters (if that). I was doing a property and if I was at one end I couldn't fly to the other end and still have a strong, steady signal. This is probably 200 yards, 300 at most. This...

Couple of stupid questions. I looked at the web page, but wasn't sure of a few things, so I figured I'd ask. 1. Can you setup missions on a PC and dump to the ST-16? I've seen this functionality somewhere, but I don't remember where. 2. Can you convert a flight to a mission afterwards? If...

I had one before I got my first H. Having had both and having flown both I would go with the H over the Q500. If you shop around you can get them for about the same amount of money and you get some additional functions with the H. Both are huge drones, but the H is actually more compact when...

I did a "look at me" set of pics with an Air and a Karma facing each other in the air. Comparing the two sets of pictures you would have thought that one was at about 20 feet and the other was at about 50. IIRC the pic from the Air looked much closer compared to the pic from the Karma. You...

It is one of the great design decisions made by Yuneec. Replacing this battery is nearly as easy as replacing the battery in the drone itself. I have multiple H's (and therefore multiple controllers) and forgot to charge the controller for the one I wanted to fly. Just swapped the batteries...

I love flying the H. Probably the most stable bird in my group. Switching back and forth between different drones the different FOV of the cameras takes getting used to as two shots from the exact same location will be markedly different.

360 Video from Typoon H/Ricoh Theta V I know to make sure I'm flying in NO wind next time and to go slower. Flying blind was tough as it was, plus with the different weight/balance the bird was flying like a truck more than usual.

This is a thread from long ago, but I have an update for it. I finally got around to doing this (albeit with a Ricoh Theta V and not the Gear 360). I removed the stock camera and used a dummy plate with the Theta attached to it. Flying blind I did a couple of runs. One with video and one...

This was from an H, but not with H equipment (or at least camera). About 9 months ago I wanted to toy with the idea of taking 360 photos and videos. I have a "spare" H that literally had never been flown and was going to use that for this project. I had a Gear 360 and bought an extra...

It was mentioned earlier in here, but eBay. You usually can find them between 1-2 hundred. Or a different idea is to buy an entire H and part it out. Sell the drone and the camera separately and you will be close to whole and the ST16 will be nearly free plus you get an additional battery and...

I know many of the people here (and on the related boards for other manufacturers) have multiple drones. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken a "family" picture of multiple drones in the air. I was thinking of doing this, but wondered (other than running into each other) if there is any...

I have a spare as well. Basically got it for free. Bought a bunch of them then sold the drone, camera, and controller separately until my "extra" was free.

I have an H, and Evo, a Spark, an Air, and you're exactly right. From a pure looks perspective the H looks expensive and professional. The Evo (my preferred), the Air, or (especially) the Spark look like toys. The controller, the hex design, just the size of it screams "this is a serious...

Went out last night to test this. Drove to the site, nailed landing pad into the ground, took the H out...where the **** are my props? Oh yeah, that's right they are on the workbench that I was working on this. Will try again later.

I MacGuyver'd a mount for my gear 360. All I basically did was buy a mounting plate for the regular camera and attached a 1x4 square to that and the 360 to that. It's really low rent, but I just wanted to test it and see if it would work and how bad the shudder is with no gimbal.
