Typhoon H Plus

[Tony R]

Oops, H pro. Either way. I'm really happy with it.

 

[rdonson]

I'm glad you're happy with the H Pro. We should see the H+ in a few weeks if Yuneec lives up to their announcement.

 

[PatR]

I think we can safely say the Plus won’t be released in May.

it will be complicated indeed

 

[glider]

I think we can safely say the Plus won’t be released in May.

Even more discouraging is no inside information leaked out. No pre-order mania. Yuneec isn't advertising the Plus much.

Not sure if I'm getting one, but if I were, I'd want detailed specifications of the hardware/software (not just the camera) to justify the $1700 price tag. Example: how much of Arducopter, if any, is adopted into the FC.

 

[rdonson]

I'm sure all the specs and plenty of first users/testers with YouTube videos will be rolled out when Yuneec officially makes it available.

It will be what it will be.

 

[YuKay]

Yuneec has 7 days to give me something concrete on the launch of the Plus or I will be switching back to buying the H Pro. I would like to be able to threaten them with the Autel Evo but that now looks certain to be launched with a similar camera to the CGO3 so I would be inclined to stick with Yuneec's battle-proven offering - especially as I can now buy an H Pro with RS for less than the touted launch price of the Evo…and the slight inconvenience that the Evo isn't slated to be available in Europe.

 

[Ty Pilot]

So have you contacted them and stated this? It will be interesting to heat what they say - I am guessing more of the same. The H Pro is a solid machine and unbeatable value.

 

[YuKay]

Surely that would be a waste of time? It will come when it comes - notwithstanding the queue of impatient fans.

 

[rdonson]

FWIW Autel still says they will have an EVO “later” with a 1” sensor. They are starting with the 12MP sensor although with some better specs than the CGO3+. And.... no definite release date on the first EVO.

 

[YuKay]

Looks like a couple of German websites are now selling the H Plus - but with an E90 camera.

Now available from copter.eu with the C23 camera. It seems the battery fitting is the same as the H520. copter.eu - The YUNEEC Experts

And in English.

"Available now" they say on the gateway page. But if true, surely some reviewer would have uploaded a demo flight video somewhere?

 

[rdonson]

UK Yuneec still shows it coming soon.

Drones : Typhoon H Plus

EU version says "ready to ship"

Typhoon H Plus (EU Version)

Typhoon H Plus (UK Version)

 

[YuKay]

Yep, the base model seems to be shipping (3-5 days delivery) while the RS model isn't yet ready.

 

[oliver]

I will receive mine on Monday

Zut alors! Please upload a video as soon as your batteries are charged! Bonne chance!

 

[Graham]

EU version says "ready to ship"

Typhoon H Plus (EU Version)

Typhoon H Plus (UK Version)

Is there a difference between these??

 

[YuKay]

The only physical difference is that the EU version would need a wall plug adapter for use in the UK. The drone regs are presumably the same across the EU so the software may be universal except I don't know whether all of Europe's no-fly zones will be in the universal code. In any event, fresh local geofencing zones would come down with every software update under the imminent new drone regs.
