Thanks! A few can't stand me, because I say it as it is ! I am just so tired of hearing the same thing over and over again! I do not mind hearing people voice their concerns and disappointments, and express being pissed off at issues even!. But to gather a handful of agreer's and bash over and over again the same topic, gets quite annoying and distracting !I think you are going to be my favorite person in here.

And most by someone that doesn't even own one. Very happy with mine. Just hope to find a forum for enthusiasts. This seems a lot more like an H whining forum.
I for one, am happy with my purchase of the H.
In my perspective the camera takes great pictures and video. Everyone I share them with are amazed at the clarity and color.
I am also very satisfied with the way the H handles.
I also get very angry when I hear or read a post about the same old thing, the same old whine (yes, it is spelled with an 'h' not like the drink). I would prefer if you have an issue please use the search function and add you opinion to an existing gripe thread. Flooding the forum with the same old same old is frustrating to those of us that are enjoying the H and just makes many of us become very bitter and does nothing to enhance the discussion.

Unfortunatly I'm loosing faith in Yuneec also. There are too many issues and the number is increasing instead of.....
I think that is a good choice. I personally like the looks of the Inspire but it is a huge and heavy beast. But let me ask you this, how much will that cost? Also when it crashes, and it will, how will the customer support be to repair that 2000-$3000+ drone? You are going to invest TWICE the amount of money into an Inspire, will it be twice better? I will answer, NO! Not for a hobbyist anyway.
I look at the H and think, man I got a cool aircraft for $1300. Backed up by a decent company. Okay some guys have had issues dealing with them from what you post but also from what I read it depends on who you talk to. Just keep calling them etc...
Add a 3rd party antenna and that solves almost every issue with it. Another antenna makes it as good as the ST16+ and addresses the video or telemetry issues, which are not all that bad anyway if you fly LOS. Still reliability is key and that solves that for many guys.
As for the camera just use a nice ND filter and adjust your settings and you WILL get some amazing video out of it. Just look at the video Lou Ming got flying his across the ocean. Look at some other great footage that has been posted. The H CAN produce awesome video.
If you want to go a bit more, replace the lens.
Unless you are a professional, there is zero need for the inspire.
And if you are a professional then why are you here looking at sub 2K drones in the first place?
If you are a guy who wants a cool drone but does not want to over spend then the H is awesome. Or get another drone. Get a Phantom as long as you are willing to lose your money even faster.
I view drones as a cool, but expensive toy. They will probably crash and you will probably have issues with them. It is an investment, they are cheap but not a few hundred either.
At the hobby level, if I am going to have issues, I would rather have issues on a $1300 drone than one costing 2 to 3 times more.
While I agree with your summation on a hobbyist level. To be fair,the I1 kit is only $1550

Well, of course it is. You thought you would get the new version for $1500?! That made me lol!!
I don't own a TH, but have been a member for a few months, possibly looking into buying one, but am more convinced that waiting is the best thing to do now.
On another note, listening to some of you users is actually comical. You want Yuneec to tell you that they'll solve your problems with fw/hw etc. listen to yourselves as most of you are grown (some very grown) men, acting like kids. If Yuneec had this magic solution coming soon, they WILL tell you about it. To me, seeing things much more unbiased, it doesn't appear Yuneec has any solution. They are trying to manage through the best they can with the issues coming in, but do not appear anywhere close to fixing your fw issues as they don't appear to be that business model.
Just my $0.02
I hope your wrong, I can't understand how a fairly large company does
not have a staff of software developers on hand and constantly coding,
even if it's just one or two people.
I have seen software authors that once notified of a bug have a fix within days,
sometimes hours.
DJI is accused of to many firmware updates but at least they fix things one at
a time till they get it right.
What do you mean Yuneec don't appear to be that business model?
Thanks
Yuneec seems to specialize in the hardware aspect - the TH promo is that it's modular, plug and play, etc. Even the RC has the Yuneec supplied screen, telling me they're not comfortable with software updates, 3rd party apps, 3rd party tablets, etc.
What many of you are asking for are software related solutions, which to me is not Yuneec's strong suite.
I gotcha, it's been said before that software is not there strong suite.
But they have to realize the bird isn't gonna fly without software, at least in a controlled manner.
A very smart man once told me if you do a job do it right the first time. This is the problem in the mass production model. You have production crews that are trying to get the product out the door. Seems they are fixing it if it doesn't work, if it does then we fly it. I have been told TH was flown in China, then shipped to the world. It must have been a rough trip by boat. All that shaking and rocking, then by truck here in the US. From what I understand the ST16 was upgraded in California then sent on. We don't know the temperature on the boat or in the freight haulers trailers. I sure it wasn't good. It was winter when they started and spring in California. I finally got mine the third week of May. It has been rough on TH and us. Now you wonder, I know I do. Is there time to do it right the second time?
Very true indeed, Ever since the computer and internet we have all become beta testers.
It's good enough to sell, we can easily upgrade and fix it later.
With the Chinese I get the feeling that once it leaves there shores it's no longer there problem and they
wash there hands of the whole mess.
With you again DC...
My exciting news today is I've discovered the remedy to obvious dji'ers....
The "ignore" button!
Just said a fond farewell to at least 6.... Probably more to come but I'm ready for them!

Mentioned I do that all the time, soon it will be down to me and you Chris! LOL ! just kidding, tons of great people on here! respectable people too !
The Autel X-Star premium come with free battery till August 15th. Great machine
I had problem with Yuneec customer service. It took a month to get resolved. But, resolved it is. I am an H fan again. They are new and very backed up in the repair side. I hope they will catch up. The customer service teams needs some training. I have not found that they have empathy for there customers with problems. Maybe, I am asking for to much. I love the H again and would recommend it .
All this whining about RTH when you are supposed to maintain visual contact at all times. Makes no sense.
I don't really see it as whining. Yes you should keep LOS, but that doesn't mean you can see it all the time if the H has a hill or something as background and it is possible to get disorientated.
The only complaint I have seen is a request to be able to set your RTH altitude. Now maybe it is not technically needed but seems a reasonable request and improvement
