    Camera speed

    Depending on where the bottleneck is in your computer, the 4k video could just be too much data throughput for the computer to keep up with. If that's the case, a smaller resolution and slower framerate should help. Or if you have software to compress the video (such as handbrake) you should...

    ST 16 indicates charging when not plugged in.

    I've also had this issue, I opened up a ticket with them a ways back. Unfortunatly for me they wanted to send a new battery to test it out first, and after trying a few times to reach out and get it RMA'd it was cheaper to just buy a 2nd bird instead of wasting my time getting the controller...

    Need information on altitude values among several Typhoon H's on the same CCC script

    While the altitude is fairly approximate, I've found that I get good results on days with a bit of wind. A light breeze seems to help the H maintain a consistent reading, and when I land it might only be off my 4 feet or so vs 20-30 feet I've seen on calm days. The other one is where I take...

    Mapping Grid Instructions

    I use that to lay out CCC missions to fly a grid. I use them to generate a orthomosaic, as well as to get photos and videos of the entire jobsite where I fly. Its much easier to just have the drone fly a grid over the job while taking timelapse photos than it is to fly by hand and make sure I...

    St16 battery

    I tried another battery but the problem was still there. I figured I had to play along with them before they'd have me send it in the have the charging board replaced in my controller. Meanwhile I've got 2 working batteries for the new controller which makes flying all day a lot easier.

    St16 battery

    I've had issues with charging mine through the controller. I think its something with the carging circuit on the controller, and eventually what would happen is it'd turn on like I was charging the controller every time I turned it off, and when it was actually plugged in it wouldn't charge...

    CCC Flight Plan Location in the ST16 Controller

    Another important one to note if you have a lot of plans in the CCC list, they aren't shown in alphabetical order but rather the order they're listed in the FAT file system table. Usually this is the order they're placed onto the controller.

    Typhoon H mapping

    I do some "mapping" with my H. I use Flight Planner H - Waypoints Creator for Yuneec Typhoon H to lay out the grid, and CCC editor for typhoon H - by Eric EMMANUEL to edit the flights as needed (such as redirecting the grid around a tower on site). I process everything with photoscan. It...

    Camera v Video settings

    There is, if you look at the screen on the right side there is a little white slider with an orange dot in it. If you hit that, it'll switch between photo and video mode. The easiest way for me to tell I'm in photo is the image looks a bit distorted because its 4:3 stretched onto 16:9. The...

    Typhoon H Plus with 1 In. Camera Sensor June 12 Europe Release

    Any idea when the C23 might come to the US? Has yuneec done releases at seperate times between countries before?

    Instructions to remove the CGO3 from my new Typhoon H

    I had fedex break the gimball mount with the H in a pelican case. I now have a sperate case that I use specifically for the cameras so they can't be broken off. I highly recommend taking the cameras off if there is any slight chance the H might be tossed around in a case, no matter how good the...

    Problem with SD card

    Be careful, there are still a lot of China based companies that have a US based warehouse for all shipping. For stuff like SD cards where you have to be careful of where its from, I'll only buy them from a big name brick and mortar store. All of my SD cards now come from the microcenter down...

    PART 107 Test/Study

    That's how I studied. One other thing I would add is knowing a practical application of the rules and sectional chart reading. They're going to want to know that you know the rules and you can read a chart, and they're going to ask questions about the rules, questions about the charts, and...

    Educate Me

    I had to fly some USACE property for work, and getting ahold of the right person to get permission took forever. Once I did getting permission was easy, but it is not easy to know what number to call and who to email was not easy. edit- and finding that it would have been an issue to fly...

    I think I already know the answer

    In my experience, shooting in 4K and letting the TV/computer down sample to 1080p produces a better picture result. I shoot entirely in 4K and its only been shown on a 4K display once.
