I thought I would update my experience with the Yuneec Breeze 4k drone in reference to the last post I made back in Aug. To recap, I went through two Breeze 4k drone in two weeks and I said I was done with the Breeze. On Aug 20th I decided to give the Breeze another chance (try). They say, third times a charm, or maybe the pilot pays more attention. Although the Breeze 4k is not a $1000 drone, it has features that only come on the more expensive drones.
Well, with the 3rd Breeze, I have flown it numerus times and I have not had one minute of problem out of it. It takes wonderful pictures and yes it seems we need just a little more distance then the GEO fence gives us, but, the description of the drone is clear and the specs on the out side of the box it gives the height and distance this drone will fly so, we are well warned. I believe if it would give us another 10 feet we would wont another 20 feet. It is just what it says it is, a selfie drone and it is fine for me at this time. Yes, one day I would like to venture out but, as for now this one is doing just fine. I'm not in a commercial business nor do I use it in a business or for business (Heck I'm retired). It is just a fun hobby for me. It is easy to keep it in eye sight and I have taken the drone to several locations and have not had any issues with it.
I know the first drone was defective. It had an issue with the battery. Although the battery was fully charges the battery indicator would show a rapid drain of the battery and with each charge it would only last two to four minutes. So, thanks to DoomMeister knowledge and advice I returned it and exchanged it for another Breeze 4k and the battery trouble was salved (it was the drone with the problem and not the battery).
Now, the second drone did just fine until about the 3rd flight it went crazy and accelerated straight up and crashed back to the ground at high accelerated speed and ended up in ,well, lets say more than two or three pieces. I was frustrated and was "done" with the Breeze at that time. After a few days, I decided to try the Breeze 4K one more time and I guess it was because of the camera that kept drawing me back to the Breeze. How could a drone with this nice of camera be that bad.
I don't know if it was pilot error or not. It very well could have been. I will admit I am by no means perfect and I make mistakes. So the 2nd Breeze very well could have been pilot error but, I did not see it, and that could be because I over looked the error some how. All I know, I am more cautious when I fly. I do check after check before take off and I have found each and every time I have flown my Breeze 4k, I have not had any issues at all. I could not ask for a better flying drone then this one. I have enjoyed it and that is what its all about. I have a iPhone 7plus and the Breeze Cam app works very well by it self or I use the supplied controller which also works very well.
Hope everyone has good luck with their drones, as I know first hand how frustrating it can be to have trouble with them. Just remember, check and double check and then check again.
Have fun
