I am usually good at researching and finding answers using media. As a new owner of a Typhoon H and also a user of Final Cut For X I wanted to find out in what form the CG03 saves files to. After reading through the users manual and exhausting every youtube clip on the subject I could find no answer. Maybe I simply missed it? I scheduled a call to Yuneec support in California and I was told the files were saved in MP4 using a H.264 codex. I was glad to hear this as it means I can import clips directly to FCPX without having to convert them.
The Typhoon H is presented as an "advanced" drone, not a toy for kids. If so why not provide information for exporting files to a computer editing program. I'm sure many other drone owners plan to use their drone in a professional context and want to be able to integrate their arial clips into other video projects using an editing program. I have written to Yuneec and suggested they include a section of the users manual to explain file transfer methods and giving CG03 specs including format and codex information. Now on to flying and getting some great vids.
