While flying survey missions over the last 5 years with the Yuneec, I have experienced the same thing. I have the H520 without the RTK. It has always done that behavior, regardless of the firmware. I personally believe it is just a GPS/gyroscope thing where it just doesn't have an accurate...

I too have had the same problem mapping with the h520 I have compared the mapping results between the 520 and my phantom PROV2 on the same project same control points I use pic4d to process My belief is the rolling shutter on the 520 is the issue I believe that if you use the default nadir...

Sorry for my ignorance, is the 520 PPK add on you're referring to the Emlid Reach package?

I am also waiting for an RTK upgrade kit for my 520. I bought it thinking one would be available. I even had one on pre-order at Venom a year ago. But instead they put a new model out (520E) and want you to buy it. I would prefer to upgrade my 520 with an RTK module, or a PPK add on. Any...

Thanks John. Well done

I have a suggestion to test your problems, and to eliminate if it's a problem in the drone itself, or if it's a problem in the data pilot software. Install the Pix4D Capture software on the St16 controller. I initially used it after I bought the Yuneec, because I use the Pix4D Software suite to...

While I didn't specifically check the exif values, I was able to process the project in the ODM software. I didn't use the z values though...was just trying to get a good ortho. I agree about the Yuneec platform. The rolling shutter gives me fits, and does not process accurately against my...

All, Just an update. I updated all the components with the newest updates this morning. Took it out to a job site, programmed a small survey mission on datapilot, to capture an aerial for a client. All the updates installed without any issues, and the bird flew exactly as its supposed to...

WTF...AFter doing the upgrade with the card, and continually getting red flashing lights on the camera, I turned it off and let it sit awhile (had some dinner). Then I unmounted the camera, put it back on the bird. Booted up the ST16 and it connected fine. Ran through the Yuneec update on the...

I just did the upgrade to my 520 (with the E90 camera) After a few fits and starts the upgrade finished, and wanted a reboot. However now the camera will not connect to the ST16, will not see it. The little light on the camera is red. Can you explain to me how to flash the upgrade off an SD...

When I'm flying the H520 the camera is always pointing down at nadir position since I use it for mapping. I haven't really observed if the nose is pointing away or not. Next time I fly it I will take note. It's heartening to know that I'm not the only person encountering this problem. I've...

No more than 1000 feet . Bird was 350 ag, always in line of sight.. I'm guessing other folks don't have this problem? I've also used the DBS Itelite range extender. No change

So the software is all in sync and updated Camera FW 1.0.61A FC 1.6.18 Gimbal 2.403 The tlog shows the average RSSI is 73% (through the UAV toolbox) Does this seem normal? It's not showing a db output

Thank you all. I just installed the latest update, but it didn't completely take to all devices. I was getting the "cannot install x file" or something similar message. I will try to get the firmwares completely updated and to the same version. I am nervous about it because I had an inflight...

Hello you smart folks, I love my H520. It is very steady, and reliable now that I finally got the software bugs worked out. But, ever since I have had it (about 2 years now) I've gotten these error messages about the RC link lost during flight. The bird always comes back, but it its very...
