You are correct that you do have to stop videoing to take a still. I figured that out before I crashed my second drone in a week. Yuneec is fixing my Typhoon 4K and I'm sending in my Typhoon H Pro out to them today. Good thing my new Typhoon H Pro arrived today! Anyone looking for a deal on the Typhoon 4K? I think given my track record of late I will hang on to both Typhoon H Pro's.
