    H Plus Best Video

    No, it seems when I try to unlock the height the max I can go is 396' on slider, but I still can fly. I see the lock but it stays green. If I try to unlock, I get the statement of authority but it never changes to a higher limit. I don't get any warning I am not allowed to fly as I am very close...

    H Plus Best Video

    Yes when I read that you have to acknowledge their waiver requests and provide drivers license etc it was a turnoff for me. Not worth $100 to mess with changing code and screwing it up accidentally.

    H Plus Best Video

    Actually, forget my last request for info on how to unlock. I live near an airport and fired up my H Plus this morning and acquired enough sats to position my location and allowed me the go ahead to fly. I started the props, but didn't launch, but obviously was able to take off near an airport...

    H Plus Best Video

    Hey Ty, how did you get your H Plus totally unlocked? Did you pay for the software that I have heard about? If so, where do you get it? I appreciate your always full and complete explanation in the forum. If I ever get up your way from Stuart Florida I will see if we can do a drone run together...

    H Plus Best Video

    Sorry to say I haven't flown my H Plus since Covid hit the scene. Every once in awhile I go out on the patio to fire it up and check out the camera and the ability to acquire good satellite signal. My only complaint about the H Plus is the size for travel and the low battery life. I took these...

    Why The H Plus is STILL Relevant

    I'll make this short and sweet; the only complaint I have about my H Plus is the battery life.

    H Plus - Buena Vista Peaks Ione Ca 1.28.2022 4K

    Nice, my problem with the H plus is the battery life. Otherwise it is a fantastic drone with a great camera. If I get more than 20 minutes on a battery, it is time to come home. Usually 15 minutes max is a safe bet for getting a mission completed safely.

    How things change

    The drone market is getting hot again. Even with some of the new FAA regs and restrictions, drone pilots are awaking from their Covid19 shutdown and want to get out to do some flying. My H Plus has been in a long sleep and needs to go airborne again. When we have been away from the "sticks" so...

    This is one of the best advice tips I can provide to you as a new H Plus owner: Never completely drain a Typhoon H Plus battery. Batteries should be stored at 30-50% charge, and never stored at full charge. I ruined several batteries by not storing them half charged. This is unlike DJI product...

    NIGHT flight with Typhoon H plus at Duluth's Aerial lift Bridge with ship

    Nice job and glad you are legal. I have the Plus too and the only complaint I have is the low battery life. After about 20 minutes on a full charge I get nagged to return to home.

    RE: Battery Percentage Levels

    What is the average flight time with your batteries on the H Plus? I seem to only get a solid 20 minutes before I start to get the red 29% warning to go home. Maybe I can get more time if I am not so cautious to return so soon. What are your experiences? I only use the standard H battery for on...

    Venom Produo settings for H Plus

    What is the average flight time with your batteries on the H Plus? I seem to only get a solid 20 minutes before I start to get the red 39% warning to go home. Maybe I can get more time if I am not so cautious to return so soon. What are your experiences?

    Should I go or should I stay?

    If this battery lasts as long as I hope it does, it will give me hope that I can fly further away with my H Plus. I will certainly provide my feedback after a few flights.
