Best Buy Customer Reviews

The MK58 Video Download Link is Defective.......

Posted by: burma419 from on 03/28/2016I researched and reviewed both the DJI Phantom 3 series and the Yuneec Typhoon series before this purchase. Since I already had a GoPro Silver I thought the Typhoon G would put it to good use. It did put it to good use as the approx 8 videos were spectacular. The gimbal kept the GoPro very steady even in several windy 13mph flights. As to the actual aircraft it handled very well. All controls responded as they should. Another factor in the reason for this purchase is I liked the way it looked. It is nice and big and with its dark color I could not miss it in the sky. The large lights underneath each motor was a plus for me as the front 2 lights are WHITE and the tail lights are RED just like a car. The problem I ran into twice was the live video feed from the aircraft to the remote screen cut out after approx 30ft. Once the aircraft was up in the air I would see the screen on the remote go into the buffering mode saying attempting to connect to camera. When its buffering I could not see the important data on the screen such as my altitude or battery remaining. This was very frustrating. I called Yuneec CS as I heard so many good things about them. Well I got the simple trouble shooting and then the dreaded words.... "you will need to box it up and mail it in for repair". Mail it back after only a few flights....are you kidding me....No way. So.... I boxed the Typhoon G up and returned it to BestBuy. No problems with the return. I picked up another Typhoon G and was ready for smooth sailing. I had to wait a week to fly the second one as it was very windy. This past Easter weekend I sent it up for 5 flights. All with no live video download to my remote. So disappointed. However the flights are nice and smooth and the G is very quiet. But this thing is supposed to do something that it is not doing so back to BestBuy this morning and another return. They asked if I wanted another. I said I cant do this again as I have checked the Yuneec Forum and this is a known issue with the MK58 video download link on the Typhoon G. Thanks BestBuy for the great customer service I believe I will get myself a Phantom 3.

Excellent Drone All Around

Posted by: Tyman3789 from on 03/14/2016I purchased this drone about a month ago and it has been awesome. I use it with a go pro hero 4 silver and the video quality is amazing. The drone does a great job of keeping a very steady picture with the gimbal mechanism. I have flown this about 2100 feet away with still recieving live video feed to controller but it does seem to go further when out of the neighborhood where there are lots of wifi signals. All features such as the home switch to make it come back work great. I know the box says 25 min of flight time but it seems to be about 16-18 min of straight flying with video. I have also flown this in pretty windy conditions with little issues. When using this model with the go pro you do need to start video before flight since the capture buttons on remote do not work with go pro but you can always edit film later. All in all if you have a go pro and want a great drone then buy this one. Smooth controls, long flights, and amazing performance. Great product.

best buy purchase

Posted by: mickey from on 03/14/2016I purchased 5 yuneec drones and 1 of them had problems missing the mk58 attachment for the audio. I brought it back to best buy and they replaced it. upon checking it upfront from the counter, a couple of things where already missing. There were no lace for the controller and drone manual in the box. I told the associate that its okay as long as I have the other parts to make it fly. When i got to my car, I felt like I had to check all the parts again. True enough, there was one missing part. It was the small black cord that connects the drone to the gimbal. I went back to best buy and told them one part was missing again and if they could just get it from the previous box I just returned. I was so disappointed at this point. They questioned me saying "Its a new box? how can that happen?" i wanted to argue with them and say it wasnt my fault. After I got the small black part, the associate asked me "Is everything okay already? that will be your last time to come back for replacement." First of all, it wasnt my fault that the parts are missing in the drone. :/ I have not yet tested the drone but I've heard good reviews about the yuneec. I hope best buy fixes their boxes and double check whats inside before selling them.

GET Phantom not this one.

Posted by: MMMMMMARVIN from on 03/13/2016bought this yuneec drone about 15 days ago, returned it twice. its runs very well and has some good function but compare with Phantom drone this Q500 is poor. no matter the Gopro one or the standard one. Phantom drone has more fun function and its a better brand. So personal advice: don't waste ur time to return this one.

Great,Steady,easy to Fly

Posted by: Jerry from on 03/12/2016The Q500 4k is a great quad. Easy to fly, Gps works great. Really and truly you can fly right out of the box. Customer service at yuneec is excellent. Just remember the quad is bigger than the Phantom but no updating, quad or batteries. If you are looking for a Camera bird..this is the one for you. The 4k camera is really, really great.

Amazing Drone!

Posted by: FlyBoyJ from on 02/27/2016I bought this from Best Buy this week ... and man is this thing awesome! Unlike some other reviewers, I don't have an issue having to start/stop the GoPro "by hand" or disassembling the gimbal a bit in order to get to the video - not big deal. In fact, if you sync the GoPro to your phone OR the GoPro remote, at certain distances you could take snaps, start/stop video etc. Overall: Excellent Buy - especially at $499. I did notice that at times my video had a bit of propeller or of the drone feet in the shot, but this was mostly due to the drone compensating for maneuvering or dealing with wind - which it does so amazing. I didn't notice any "slow" gimbal moving as some have described, this is also my first drone but the gimbal has moved as I would expect it to. With clear line of sight I've probably gotten close to 3-3500 feet on the video transmission - then again where I live there's very little obstacles. If you're looking for a drone and already have a GoPro look no further, you won't be disappointed. Pros: - Great Price - Can Use Your GoPro - It's all plastic but it feels sturdy - Intuitive controller - I just picked it up and went with it ... Especially if you've used other RC's - Good Gimbal! Cons: - Can't find one yet!

Over All Solid Product

Posted by: Marvin from on 02/12/2016Many argue DJI is the way to go, but I already had a GoPro so I bought this and was not disappointed at all. Thumbs way up.

Easy to fly. Requires FAA registration

Posted by: Mball from on 02/12/2016This is my third drone quadcopter. This is by far the easiest to fly. Uses GPS and will hold a position in moderate wind with no problems. Controller is superb! I would buy again in a heartbeat.

Good, but could it be great.

Posted by: DepecheMode from Maryland on 02/10/2016It was nice to get this drone with $400 off. Flies pretty good and the "follow me" and "home" (for landing) options are really cool. Now, since I have the GoPro Hero4, it made sense to get the Typhoon G. Unfortunately (as some have already point it) the "picture" and "video" capture buttons are not compatible with the GoPro (you can still watch video thru the controller) I contacted Yuneec for this problem, thinking the controller was defective, but they confirm that this options are not available since they "don't have the permission from GoPro to use their software" In order to record, you need to start recording before taking off. Another option for you is set your camera to record video and pictures at the same time before flying. Beside this hiccup, everything else works great and the drone overall is pretty easy to maneuver
