Things I want to comment about what you have written.
First: this is a forum where, if there is no disrespect and if certain minimums are met, anyone can say what they want. That's the way it should be. It's normal to find people who are angry. It is normal because after 6 months and having made a heavy investment, about 3000€, even though there are drones that cost 40.000€, it is not a negligible amount, many of the specifications that Yuneec initially told us when he bought the drone have not been met. This is the case and I do not believe that it is debatable. A camera with straight lenses without distortion was announced. Now I'm not going to look where I specifically put it. Now the advertising has changed to"low distortion" and still does not. These are facts. Now it seems that there is a desire to soften the debate by saying that things can be done with this distortion. What do we talk about, what do we have to do with it? Unfortunately not much of quality because the base, which is the camera does not have enough quality.
In photogrammetry, the basis of all good work, the fundamental thing, are quality images, contrasted, with definition and good details in shadowy environments. This is fundamental. With a 1-inch sensor, the E90 does everything right except for the lens, the base has quality but the distortion that the images have then has to be corrected by the photogrammetry program and that, however much we want is through an interpolation. That we see acceptable results is not because the E90 is doing well, it is because the programs are doing well. In fact, one of the most important photogrammetry programs in the world, Pix4D, has still not managed to correct 100% of the problems with the E90 images.
Notice that we are focusing on a specific problem, the lenses of the E90 and we are leaving aside other problems that the platform has. But the lenses problem affect all the uses we can make of the drone. In some uses this problem will be remarkable, as in image and video, and in others it will not be so much as in search and rescue or in photogrammetry, for example. But this does not eliminate the problem.
I'm not going to talk about the rest of the problems or shortcomings that the platform has because they are very detailed in the suggestion thread of the update 2.0.
Not everything is saying bad things, the H520 with the base it has can be a beast, I have no doubt. But it has to materialise in facts, not in promises, which at the present time will be late promises, although not unwelcome, quite the contrary. The stability of the H520 is very good, it defends against the winds in a remarkable way, it is a hexacopteral system that adds safety and confidence to not crash the aircraft, the gimbal rotates 360 degrees continuously, has retractable landing gear and weighs only 2 kg. I don't think I left anything behind. For me these characteristics are very good, but only they don't make a good drone.
I'm going to start imagining. Can you imagine that the distortion of the E90 is corrected, it doesn't matter if it is by software or by changing the lenses, to acceptable levels and on top of that the drone has the functionalities that a professional drone should have? What good machine would it make? Well, the latter is what we all want, those who are happy, those who are not very happy and those who are angry. We all want the same thing, and there are only two sides. On the one hand the buyers and on the other hand the manufacturer. The only one who can make changes is the manufacturer. Please don't forget, don't let this become a discussion between buyers.
P.D.: Do you remember that this thread was to talk about the update 1.3? It can be seen that in the end, despite a few improvements, they were not enough. I want, for once, that what has been announced will be fulfilled, and without any loss of time or delay there will be a continuous flow of updates that will improve the functioning of our little orange bird
