    Excellent Drone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have both the earlier Yuneec drone as well as a Phantom drone from DJI. I really enjoyed both of them and this is without a doubt a HUGE upgrade in functionality. The retractable landing gear is too cool and the video it takes is fantastic. It comes with 1 battery and everyone should buy another because ~25 minutes of flying time won't be enough for most people. The modes were pretty easy to use, Orbit in particular is something I can use. I am an experienced drone pilot so the collision avoidance was not a particular interest but i can see how a less experienced pilot can save a potential crash becasue of it. This is a really great drone any anyone buying it will not be disappointed.

    PERFECT FOR A FIRST PROFESSIONAL GRADE DRONE

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    i had the H for about 4 months. this is my first professional grade drone. i read countless reviews and POSITIVE customer service experiences with Yunnec and that helped me make my decision on purchasing this. i fly it about 5-6 days a week at different locations and i NEVER had a bad flight. not only is it very easy to fly it has many features to pretty much make it fly it self. it has lots of redundancy and safety features that help me fly this with confidence. i love the automatic flight modes like Orbit, Selfie, and curved cable cam. people in public always are amazed by its design and say they never seen one with this shape and thats another reason why i chose this. its simply unique looking and defiantly stands out from the rest. the video quality is amazingly stable and the 360 degree rotating gimbal gets you shots u cant get with a phantom or any in this price range. i should probably mention its retractable landing gear legs that make a huge difference in your videos. i never worry about legs getting in my shots, one less thing to worry about when flying. obstacle avoidance on the base model works just as it should and adds another layer of confidence when flying around trees and walls. there are lost of advantages this has over other drones, more than i already mention but i can say im extremely happy with my first drone. I will continue being a Yuneec customer, and im looking forward to future products :D

    Hands down this is the best drone in its class. Look no further. I've been flying for over a year now using the DJI Phantom 3 Professional. I enjoyed flying so much I decided to pick up another bird. I did some research on the internet and fell in love with the design of the Typhoon H. Digging a little deeper I found out that not only does this hexicopter come with obstacle avoidance but you also have the option to upgrade to the real sense module which allows the drone autonomously to move around obstacles autonomously. In addition you get a sweet radio with a 7inch built in high resolution touch screen. I have no desire to use my phone for fpv on my drone anymore. Did I mention you can hook you radio up to wifi and surf the web like its some sort independent tablet and download apps, it also comes with a neck strap to hold up the remote. They just really hit the hammer on the nail. Retractable landing gear, beautiful lights that light up the night sky, and it has a full 360 dgree camera. Let's talk about support a little bit. At DJI I was just a number. There was no real connection with the customer over the phone. At Yuneec I felt like I was really valued even if it was something simple they took the time to assist and follow up. The Yuneec Customer Support Team is truely awesome. When I got the DJI Phantom I was happy. When I got the Typhoon H I was blown away for what I got for my hard earned money. I'm a fan for the long haul. Thanks Yuneec.

    360 degree 4K camera is excellent and the transmitter picture is excellent as well. The retractable landing gear makes the drone absolutely fun to fly.

    Great drone for the money, but not perfect

    I own the Typhoon Q500 4K prior to this purchase. The video lag, lack of distance and speed were major downsides. The H fixed all this. But theres still no simple Orbit feature, or cable. You have to fly what pattern you'd like first, it records the GPS positions and flys it again on its own while you control the camera. DJI uses Lightbridge which allows you to push on a spot on the map on your tablet and it goes there. Easy. However, you can't beat great support and Yuneec def has that. The one I received from Best Buy had the Wizard (a $200 device) with it, which was really nice. You can use it to control the drone while someone else uses the controller for the camera/video recording. You can also hook it to your belt and use it as the the GPS the drone uses to follow you in Watch Me or Follow Me mode. Obstacle Avoidance is in its infancy with this level of drone. The stock one on the H is great for buildings and large objects at slow speeds. This fall the InteliSense gets released that gives 360degree avoidance, instead of just forward. I'm interested to see if its more finely tuned to avoid branches. My biggest gripe is the price for batteries. Yuneec has set a MAP price of $139.00 for a battery with no power meter or anything. At least the DJI ones you are paying $150 for tell you immediately which batteries are full and which need charging. Thats cost prohibitive in my book. I have 4 batteries for the Q500 that can't be used with the H as they are totally different. The retractable landing gear are a great feature, no more legs in any shots. The H is more stable and quicker than the Q500. No more sluggish controls. Its still one of the few black drones on the market, so thats a win in my book. LEDs are brighter than the Q500's. the controller (ST16) is MUCH bigger then the Q500's. I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I love it. nice big screen with really good resolution (720P, real good for not being a tablet as other drones use). There are a lot of buttons and switches, read ALL the instructions and videos on the SD card that comes with it!!!!! comes in a foam insert ready to be taken out of the box and put into a specially designed backpack sold by Yuneec. Much easier to travel with since it folds up. The battery. Make sure it is seated ALL the way in! Been some forum talk about the battery coming loose in flight. No power, no thrust. No thrust, gravity wins...

    Nice Drone!

    Really love how this drone flies it's very stable even in the wind. Setup is faster now after firmware update and more features and control have been added. I hope Yuneec continues to add features and enhancements. Flight time is good for a drone this size it's much larger and more professional looking than other brands. I have several drones and it's difficult to keep the props out of the camera view but the Typhoon H has landing gear that raises and stays out of the shot. The Wizard Wand is an added plus! Yuneec Customer Service is regarded as very good from my reading on the forums. My only complaint is my camera could be a little sharper but I'm going to do a lens swap to a narrower lens.

    Love my H

    I have been flying my Typhoon H for almost 6 months now and I love the way it flys. It's so easy it almost flys itself. The 360 rotation makes for great videos. I also like the retractable landing gear. You can't beat Yuneec's support, they are the best.
