    Welcome to the Yuneec Forum. They're are many helpful folks on this site that can provide "how to" knowledge for Yuneec Drones. Hope that you have a blast of a time, flying your Mantis and try to keep it out of the trees.

    H520 altitude in image metadata

    Thanks HE for directing Tone Drone to my post. There is a ton of good GPS Reference Data in the link at the post that may answer your question. It's a long read.

    I understand when you say you didn't fly directly over people. I usually get people that will actually walk right under my drone. It also looks pretty cold out there.

    Film-Making, Models, Composites & Drones

    A very nice little movie indeed. Liked the roman numeral at the beginning. The Boston Globe only costs 2 cents and they had some nifty looking cars back then. But, I think that the reason Johnny lost his drone is that he couldn't see it... he, can't even see the stop signs when driving. I don't...

    Hey, down in front. I'm trying to watch the movie. And, turn that cell phone off.

    Everything you may want to know about GPS signals and GNSS

    GPS signals and how they help with many things in our daily lives. For many users of this drone forum, we know that satellites in the sky aid our drones in flight. Most of us, are OK with just knowing that bit of info. But, in your searches for problems with your drone... you might have come...

    Loss of 2.4GHz signal, if it happens, what does the A/C do?

    I looked at some other posts of lost 2.4GHz signal , but, didn't get the info I was looking for... so, here are some questions. Looking to find some info on the 2.4GHz signal range for 2 Yuneec models. For the H+ it appears to be up to 1 mile in best conditions. I would take this to mean about...

    Max takeoff weight of 3 Yuneec models

    And, the added weight will always cut into your max flying time. I bought my drones for photography and video production and will attach items needed for the shot. Now retired, I can't afford to accidently crash my birds. Thanks for the info. I have also seen some of the photos you have posted...

    Max takeoff weight of 3 Yuneec models

    Yes, I do agree that everything is not simple. And, that flying in cold weather is different than hot weather. But, the above figures are actually from the Yuneec users guides for those models. I'm just looking for other users on the forum who have added weight to the drones(for whatever...

    Max takeoff weight of 3 Yuneec models

    I'm looking for the Max takeoff weight of these 3 Yuneec models. I consider this figure(my own reference points) to be the weight that the drone with it's standard battery, standard gimbal/camera, can lift off the ground and obtain a height of 100 feet, and fly as expected(safely). Wind would...

    Film-Making, Models, Composites & Drones

    I got hooked on cameras flying through the air as a little kid, while watching shows like Hawaii 5-0. They used lots of helicopter shots in that old series. And, I thought that it was to be the next big thing in movie making and the day would come when we had little cameras on smaller flying...

    Film-Making, Models, Composites & Drones

    No, no, not too long of a post at all. I too am into video production and work with Vegas Pro and various plug-ins. I knew that you had several drones and have always thought of you as one to put something like this together to help others. I think that it is an awesome thing for you to do this...

    GPS satelite data transmission signals - what kind are they?

    I and many users of this forum know that the Yuneec manuals leave a lot of info out. Since it is very unlikely that we will ever see an indepth user manual of our drones come from Yuneec, this user site/forum is of great value to all of us. I do appreciate all the technical info that the above...

    GPS satelite data transmission signals - what kind are they?

    Thanks so much HE. I'm going somewhere with this info for a future post. I will also link this info to the new post when created. I also take it that the above bands and freqs are for the USA GPS system. Does the EU and Russian systems use their own receivers? The bands and freqs are not needed...

    GPS satelite data transmission signals - what kind are they?

    Trying to get a handle on some odd issues with GPS signals. I think that most of us know that are drone systems use both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz signals. If I understand it correctly(in the most basic sense) the 2.4 signal is for movement communication of the drone and the 5.8 is for the video...
