Oh was that it? I think the lumecube claims 4 hours per charge. Not a huge difference. Im in the air about getting a lumecube or strobeons. It would be the strobeon for sure if i could control it in flight... If i could access the H's TX/RX i would get the strobeon V2's in a heart beat. One big benefit im seeing to the lumecube is it can move over to a steadygrip right along with the cgo3 and uses bluetooth app to control it. In the long run i will prolly do both. A lumecube and a stand alone strobe. Did you get a red and green for positioning factor? Or?
Boom mic from an H...

Yep! Red and Green for the positioning factor. I aim to place them on the body, just under the left and right rotor arm if that makes sense. I am sure that at some stage we will be able to have them controlled from the ST16. I am hoping to attach them with some adhesive Velcro so that they can easily be removed for charging. What weight are the Lume Cubes? Because that has got to be a partial consideration, as far as I can recall the Lume cubes only mount forwards facing or can you angle them partially downwards?
The lumecubes can be angled down. You can face one forward and one down even. 1500lums per little cube.
The lumecubes are heavy but all reports suggest that it is not noticeable in flight.

I have just had a look at the price of Lumecubes and WOW! They are expensive £105 GBP about $130 US. I have paid £21.00 about $26.00 US
Yea i know way more expensive. Big selling factor for me is i plan to get a steady grip and move my cgo3 back and forth from the steadygrip to the H. The lumecube can go right a long with it and provides a great light for night time video.
I didn't realise that Yuneec were planning on bringing out a 'steady grip' for the CG03+ or Pro! I thought that because of the 360 degree feature the 'steady grip' wasn't going to be a viable proposition - unless I have missed something somewhere along the line!
It works on the old steady grips just fine of course you cant 360 it, well you could but it would point at your hand... my understanding is it works just fine. There is also a steadygrip already out for the cgo3+ im pretty sure.
I'll have to check that out! Being a photographer I have a really good Manfrotto LED movie lighting kit/flash. I have just a quick web search for steady grip that is suitable for the CG03+ and denada! I did come across this thread though!
CG03+ steady grip?

yes the lumecubes will keep functioning after it loses bluetooth (which is about 30ft), and obviously you will not have any control, they will stay in the last mode you set them on. The strobe mode is pretty cool, they can be set for 1/2 sec all the way to 10 flashes per second. They also work great for regaining your bearings when flying in daylight, 1500 lumens is quite bright and can be seen from quite a distance. Got mine the other day, they are pretty cool, the app however is iffy at times and can be irritating, shutting them off and reconnecting seems to correct the issues.
I dont suppose you have tried using the phone app for the cam and the bluetooth app for the lumecube at the same time? Curious how well they will work together.... if at all. I am going to go for a lumecube. The new models fit with the realsense too.
No havent tried that combo. the last time i used the phone app for the camera was with my Q, and it was iffy at best. Havent bothered with it since.

Do you have advanced on? Left dpad is now white balance and evo settings and right pad is cruise control.

As an audio engineer I can tell you is all you will ever record is wind noise. You have no control over gain and it's married to a limiter circuit you can't bypass. You'd be better of strapping a small digital recorder like a zoom to the h and hanging a mic from that and you'd need a horizontal boom to not get any prop sound or wind wash on the mic. It'd need to be a lav mic for weight and portability and I've yet to see a single channel fiber optic audio connection. For that matter you could strap the wireless transmitter for the mic to the H and remote record to a ground based set up. Maybe a shotgun if you could control direction would provide enough off axis rejection to make the TH self generated noise low enough.I know from experience that locating sound is no good when planes fly over so the sensitivity off the mic to pick up ground based sounds from the air on a multi rotor is going to be a frustrating pursuit. You would need to simultaneously record strictly TH noise to introduce that as a phase flipped signal into the main record to maybe cancel out the background TH noise in post.

I'm not sure what is trying to be achieved. Any aerial shots you see on tv that appear to have live sound have had the specific sound effects tracklayed in post production.
