.... which is way too short. You should get about 9 to 10 minutes. Do you accidentally have a friend that owns a hobby grade LiPo charger? Those can determine how many amps a battery takes / delivers, and sometimes also estimate the internal resistance of a battery.

Okay, these battery look fine. What flight time did you get from this charge? Your first post seemed to indicate about 2 minutes, what was it now?

Hi @xerexz, What are the voltage readings after a full charge? In the discharged state, your pack is obviously unbalanced by the readings you report, so the charger should go into balance mode during the next charge, too (red flashing led, I believe).

Well, today I checked this on my own Breeze, and it all works fine - both date and time of pics and clips are correct. Using firmware 2.04E, the modified BreezeCam app and an old Nexus 5 Android phone.

There is this week count rollover thing with GPS signals that affects older systems. I think I remember that kicked in last week or so, so maybe it also affects our Breezes?

Regarding better range, have a look at the range extender thread here Breeze Range Extender. Although using an extra device is somewhat cumbersome, it is doable and not expensive. I get realistic operating ranges of 200 to 300 meters in open areas, with occasional stutter in the video feed, and...

But the price of a Mavic is also somewhat shocking, compared to the Breeze [emoji854]

PS: and it would probably be good to find a friend with a voltmeter, or grab one yourself in the next DIY store. They are not that expensive.

Hi, it is strange that this is happening to all four batteries at the same time. Generally, it is not good to keep your LiPo batteries fully charged, that leads to fast and irreversible degradation of the internal chemistry, causing the kind of capacity loss you observed. However, it is odd that...

It is certainly proportional on most axes, but especially the yaw sensitivity is so crude that it is frustrating. Smooth pans work better for me on the phone than on the controller.

Hi, the range also strongly depends on your phone's WiFi. Sometimes older phones work better than recent ones. My old Nexus 5 would give me up to 100m reliably, the more modern Motorola I used before worked more like what you are reporting. For better range in general, look at the range extender...

Yes, usually the phone will recognize the presence of a new firmware at Yuneec's servers (if they didn't switch those servers of in the meantime, as the Breeze has practically been phased out). However, if you refer to tilting the gimbal up and down, and to the "command", I guess you might be...

PS: Expect a realistic flight time of 9 to 10 minutes for one battery. If you don't run the batteries further down than that, it is okay to store them as they come out of the craft. NEVER leave the battery in the craft or in the charger if not actively needed, even if switched off or...

Hi, so that you are not left without any answer, let me just say that there are no special precautions you need to take. If you are in the US, I believe you should be okay with the latest firmware. If in Europe, you might want to downgrade or avoid the auto-update. Regarding the battery, I am...

When it took off, the Breeze DID have accetable GPS lock, as the log also shows. And yes, the speed at which it went into the ground was remarkable... I am still surprised that it didn't just explode into dozens of pieces. Somehow, the rear-left foldable leg must have buffered most of the...
