Hello everyone, it's nice to be a part of the community. Disclaimer: I am a noob and just started flying. I may be asking super amateur questions but I ask that you all just bear with me while I get through this. I just have a few questions, and if anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. 1st off, I would like to know if the Typhoon H plus supports teaming or team mode? It would really be great to be able to use something like a wizard controller (Does it even support the wizard controller? It did not come with one) or another ST16S to the unit so that one person could focus on flying, and another worry about controlling the camera like the original Typhoon H could. If not, I would also like to know if there is a way to connect Something else as the ST16S remote control is pretty large and depending on what we are shooting, it would be nice not to have that controller in the shot.
2nd, I've flown the unit about 15 times already and I really haven't had too much of a problem with the exception of whenever I get about 50' away I lose connection to the camera. It doesn't happen every time but it does happen. Sometimes, it will regain connection when I get closer, sometimes not. Regsrdless, when it does happen, I cannot see what the camera sees. I'm not even sure that it's still recording anymore, and obviously anything that the ST16S controller is recording in terms of video ends up going blank or the image freezes on the ST16S screen. Is there a way to avoid or counteract this because this severely impairs what I'm shooting or trying to accomplish. When I look at the video on the ST16S controller it would have a spot where the image just freezes and if it did end up connecting back to the controller the video would unfreeze. Now the odd part About this issue is that if I go straight up about 200' it would still retain the connection and I could still see the cameras image on the screen. This seems to not have happened the 1st time and the 2nd time I flew the unit, in fact I feel like it did not start happening until I upgraded the firmware as the controller keeps suggesting every time I turn it on. It has only been upgraded once, and I feel like this issue started once that firmware was applied but I cannot be sure. All I do is hope that the camera is still recording and that I get the footage in 4K but that leads me to my 3rd and final issue....
The 1st few times I flew before doing the firmware update, I was able to take the 4K footage off the SD card and it played in my laptop without issues. Now, for some reason I cannot play any of the footage that is recorded on the SD card. It simply will not open and when I try to play it in quick time or even any of my professional editing programs, it just will not play and gives an error. I am using the same SD card that came with the unit. I have formatted it,
and I have not changed any of the recording settings on the ST16S controller for the camera. I am baffled as to why I can now not read the video on the SD card. I shot yesterday and I have all the videos but they do not play. If anyone can help me with any of these issues I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone has any questions about my set up, or what specifically I'm doing, please feel free to ask. Thanks everyone for reading and sorry for the long dissertation, but I prefer to err on the side of caution and being thorough than to leave anything out. Best regards.
