    CGO3+ gimbal error, unknown beep code

    I have the same issue and beep code with my CGO3+. Hope someone knows what it means.

    new yuneec aircraft

    I think they have electronic stabilization on the third axis like the Parrot Anafi which works extremely well. The Mantis G has much better flight time than the Air and of course the batteries will be cheaper.

    Typhoon H CGO3+ camera has a focus problem. Period.

    The first one looks very soft to me, like a fingerprint on the lens or cheap quality ND filter. The other videos look about like I would expect for the subject and lighting. If you want to test sharpness, shoot still images with the aircraft stationary. Choose a subject that has a lot of detail...

    Better goggles for the H

    You can tilt your head back and see underneath them without taking them off. They do not fit tight against your face. They do come with a fitted light shield if you want to block out all light. I find this is not needed as you can see the screen so clearly even in bight sun without the light...

    Better goggles for the H

    I bought one set and could not get them to focus for my eyes. I returned them for a replacement set and they were the same way. I really wanted them to work. I tried inserting close up glasses but still no joy. Had to take them back.

    Better goggles for the H

    I just bought the Vuzix iWear video headphones. They work really well with the Typhoon H. Theses are the first goggles I have been able to see clearly without adding any lenses. I have tried several other goggles including the ones made by Yuneec and could never get a sharp image. These fit over...

    1st flight attempt - Major Mistake!

    I launched once with only 5 props on. Got the 5 rotor warning on the screen and brought her back down safely.

    LOOKING FOR A FRAME THAT IS SAME SIZE AS Q500 4K

    The 565 dimension is to the outside of the motors, the overall diagonal width of the quad. The diagonal motor center dimension is about 506 mm.

    LOOKING FOR A FRAME THAT IS SAME SIZE AS Q500 4K

    Those are pictures of a quad I built. I would have to redesign the frame to fit the Q500 parts. You can see more details of the project here: New 500 size folding quad - RC Groups

    LOOKING FOR A FRAME THAT IS SAME SIZE AS Q500 4K

    Just measured my Q500. The diagonal distance between motor centers is 19 15/16" or about 506 mm.

    LOOKING FOR A FRAME THAT IS SAME SIZE AS Q500 4K

    I think you will find that the Q500 is way more than 420 mm diagonally. A 420 mm frame would just barely swing 11" props. I want to rebuild my Q500 to fold up like this:

    LOOKING FOR A FRAME THAT IS SAME SIZE AS Q500 4K

    You will probably have to build your own. I have considered making my own folding frame for the Q500 4K parts.

    Repair Cost vs Drone Replacement

    I just bought a refurbished one from Woot for $389. It was the newer design with the three antennas, ST16+. Looks and works like new. The deal has ended now but they come around every so often.

    What's wrong with the camera?

    Try calibrating the gimbal.
