Hello Crew,
I'm a lurking-newbie and I've found myself with a lot of questions that just reading and watching the available videos are not being fully answered.
So First, I purchased my Typhoon H back in 2016 with just a few extras such as batteries and the sort. I almost immediately purchased the "Real-Sense" module and installed it. After some indoors practice with bonding and testing the camera I decided to go out to a nearby park and try to fly. Well all went fine except I couldn't get consistent recorded video, on screen was all good, just inconsistent recording.
After landing, replacing the battery, re-calibrating the compass and verifying control of the aircraft I lifted off again. All seemed fine for the first few minutes until I attempted to use thee "HOME" function. The AC dropped altitude at a very rapid rate, more like an uncontrolled fall without a tumble. I quickly turned off the ""HOME" function and the AC stabilized back into control. I decided to bring the AC back to the starting/landing point but as it approached it began to sweep wildly left and right, made a high speed sweeping left turn and dove into the ground. The camera broke off of the slide mount and three of the propellers where broken, could have been worse I suppose. I packed everything up, ordered the replacement parts and waited. During this time I was deployed and had to leave before spending any further time with the AC.
I'm now returned, mostly intact and after a couple of months I've turned back to the Typhoon H. I've made the repairs, installed all of the Firmware upgrades, after some effort reconditioned and charged the batteries, have powered everything up and short of flying have performed all the pre-flight items.
Here are my questions: (1) Should the camera hang loose or be snug up ageists the rubber shocks?
(2) What is the difference between the Typhoon H and the Pro versions?
(3) What is the current Real-Sense Firmware version? Mine is version 1.10 .
(4) How much should I expect from the Real-Sense system?
(5) Are the external antenna upgrades really needed?
(6) Am I in over my head and should I find a mentor or class for this AC?
Okay, for now that's it. Thanks for your time and hopefully your constructive input.
Tks,
Dave
