Professional Grade at a reasonable price with Phenomenal Customer Service
Professional Grade Hexacopter at a reasonable price.
All I can say is WOW! I bought the Typhoon H as addition to my Yuneec Q500 4K. The Typhoon H perform more than expected. It is really stable even in high winds. It is really agile when you need it to be. The camera is comparable to the $2K models. I have flown this over water at 2,000ft out (horizontallly) at 200ft up. it slices through the air as if there was no air. it produced a smooth video and really steady when taking stills. I have also flown this it freezing temperatures and it flew ok.
The battery:
The battery can take up to 2 hours to charge on the standard charger. Slow charging and slow balancing is good if you ask me. I get at least 19mins+ on the battery by not making complex maneuvers. aggressive maneuvering gives me 16mins. not bad. I have a total of 6 batteries. I just make sure that I cycle through the batteries to get the even use on each one of them.
The CGO3+:
The camera is good. It can take 360 photos, Timelapse, and 180 panorama. There is the trim function that can make the H drone on a straight line and you can concentrate on the camera movements. Also the camera can do preset flying such as journey, orbit, curve cable cam etc. The 4K feature is the best. Just make sure you have a powerful computer to edit the footages. if not, you can insert the micro sd in you sd card slot on your 4K tv. be prepared to see the high quality video and pictures.
The Typhoon H:
The H is an excellent build. The fold up arms and snap on propellers are great features. I am still on my original propellers. Also, the feature of switching the indicator lights is great when you take night photography. no glare from the lights. I would fly my H at 2,500ft out and hit the return to home and concentrate on the camera panning. it gives you a smoother fly (constant speed) while to pan and tilt the camera. The redundancy feature is great. if one motor fails or hit a big bug in the air, it will still fly and you can land it safely. a video on youtube also showed a two motor fail and yet, the H was able to land safely. a quadcopter will plunge into the ground when it loses a propeller or a motor fail. very dangerous if you fly on top of a crowd or tall buildings. The H is better than the Quadcopter.
The Micro SD Card:
The H can read and write on a 128GB micro sd. just make sure you have the class 10 U1 or U3.
The ST16 Controller:
The controller is built just right. the size is ok and it does not feel like a toy. There is a playback feature on the ST16 which is a bonus. Charging is not favorable because it takes at least 8hours to charge. but dont let that affect your decision in buying one. 1 full charge will give you at least 12 flights, or 12 full batteries. I also use a portable battery to charge it on the field or charge it while in use using a micro usb cable provided.
Customer Service:
This is one of the highlights on this review. Customer Service is Phenomenal. Very respectful and very attentive. Real Person. They will work with you and they are not rude like DJi.
Overall:
I highly recommend this drone for first time buyers and advance-professional users. This will not disappoint you. It takes professional videos and pictures. it is steady in the air making you think it is sitting on a tripod. Do not compare this to Mavic or Breeze. This is designed to take professional videos and photos. For the price, it is money well spent.
