    Camera, controller and antenna swap after a crash - I have both Q500+ 1K and 4K

    Hi folks….. crashed my Q500 4K..... broken arm. It just would not respond properly when trying to land. Maybe I accidently put it in SMART mode..... but not sure. I was bringing it back because I didn't like how it was performing at 300 feet. If anyone has time here to review the data I could...

    CGO2+ wiring

    Hi... the Q500+ hit a tree and dropped about 8 feet into soft damp grass. Broke one prop. The CGO2 broke away. But the 2 connectors look mostly intact and were just pulled from the input jack. The pins seem to be unaffected. But I am not sure where the wires plug back into. If I run these leads...

    Did I short change my Batteries when charging - Batt Capacity

    I am about to charge up two brand new Gifi batteries I recently got (7500 and 6400). I made note of the battery status before starting so I can monitor them long term. I am using the Hitec X2 charger. I went through all its system settings and noticed 'Battery Capacity'. It was set to 5000 mAh...

    Bad Crash - Need Help

    Something similar happened to me yesterday. I was setting up to do my very last shoot of a golf course job. I had gone off site to get a nearby river in the frame. I was on a very unusual wood deck/dock configuration with limited space. When I launch in angle mode I backed up and lost focus and...

    batteries

    I have had 4 Yuneec batteries and one Venom. The original first pair last about 1.5 years using the oem charger. After a while I bought a more capable charger and then the Venom. The Venom has only seen the new charger but after a year it is bloated. It barely fits now. All 3 are giving me only...

    Hello from Ontario Canada

    I just joined too. It's the batteries that are the weak link in cold weather. They will just last a few minutes. The key is to keep them at room temp or warmer till the moment you insert them. I heard even putting a toe warmer inside the bay is helpful. But I have not tried that. I am from...

    firmware update question

    Thanks Steve.. great info! Sounds like I need to upgrade. I was reluctant last year after hearing about issues with a firmware. So I ignored it till now. Both my Q500 + and Q 4K have been working great. They 1.4 I saw was on the st10 for the 4K. I didn't check the drone version but I know it is...
