Another interview with a Yuneec employee at Interdrone. He tells interesting things about Geofence, failsafes, aircraft characteristics and more but above all, new images of DataPilot.
that video is Douglas?This will answer a lot of questions about the H520.
Douglas Spotted Eagle is the Director of Yuneec's Commercial Division and has also been directly involved in the H520 development and testing. More info here: Yuneec's H520 - The long road from announcement to release
I'm afraid Douglas Spotted Eagle is misinformed when he states that 520 is only platform which shoots both H264 and H265. There is already another one which does that according to their specs. Glad to see they don't waste time with "follow me" and those other selfie type modes which I pointed out when they put them on the H480 are worthless to a professional unless you're Alfred Hitchcock.Another interview with a Yuneec employee at Interdrone.

video recording is not part of the professional sector?
I don't think it's a change of mind. I believe that they have so many things to do that they will gradually take them out. It's a new aircraft with the whole new system. Of course, we would have liked everyone to have all the functionalities but I believe that because of the promise to launch it at this time some thing remains to be done. The same thing happened with the H480. Successive upgrades greatly improved the set, with the H520 sure to be the same. Otherwise it is not understood......
I was told that they were going to make 2 versions of the H520. One for commercial use and one later for the consumer, with all the comsumer features, POI etc, they have now changed their minds and there will now only be one version.
Wow, scary. I hadn't read anything about that. Was it official information? I don't think I'm the only one who's going to use it for different things. I hope it's a hoax because if it wasn't, it would be a big mistake.
I hadn't even thought about not having the same functions as the H480. Is this one professional? has more but we don't limit some functions that are fundamental to video recording. What was the point of putting in a camera of such quality if not?

I agree regarding Inspection work but I thought professional use was more broad than that. Point of Interest would still be nice for Cinematography.
I can't say who the information came from, but it is a reliable source. I was shocked after I learnt that the H520 would not have a lot of the filming features that the H480 has, POI is the main one that I find useful at times. This is after I placed my order based on I was told it would have way more features than my existing H480. My main interest for commercial use is video and photos, all the other mapping stuff, waypoints etc is a bonus that I may use in the future and will add more strings to my bow! I was getting more concerned that I had not made the right choice, given the above video. After a phone call I was assured that the info in the video was not true anymore and there would be an update to add lots more Photographic/Video features.
