Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautiful product thats put together very well. When it works, its a joy to fly. That being said..... Been flying quads for a while now, mostly 250's. This one is plagued with erratic behavior. 4 times now in a area I frequent, drone has went haywire with non responsive controls and moving on its own. 2 times I was able to physically catch it, twice it just dropped. Once from 10' with landing gear up, once from 2' with landing gear down. 10' drop cost me 3 arms ($60 each, complete camera and gimbal $500, 1 landing gear servo $40 and 3 retaining clips $2 each) 2' drop cost me a landing gear servo and 2 clips, had to reattach 1 arm. You will get warning signs when it starts to go on its own, it might drift more than normal,controls will seem goofy or altitude will be off. Land and reboot, works fine after that. Best guess I have so far is a gps boot error on start up, even though it says gps signal is strong. Every time it happened it was from launch, never happened in mid flight. Camera also has a 1 second delay from drone, kind of annoying when lining up for still shots. Batteries take 2.5 hours to charge on yuneec charger, bought 2 adapters I can run off a normal charger, dropped times down to a hour. Things I like about this copter are the ease of use, case works well. Remote is beautiful and relaxing to use. Props go on and off very easily. Camera takes beautiful pictures. Can view pictures from copter on remote screen without moving the card over. Orientation lights are easy to see. Home function works well if you know what its going to do based on your altitude. I really wanted to love this product, but my confidence level is shot with this one. I'm a little over $2800 in on a $1800 copter. I should have waited and researched issues with this unit better, before I bought it.

Not worth the money. Crashed on first flight. No specific guidelines other than watching You Tube.

While the Typhoon H is easy to fly and stable, and takes good video don’t count on any customer support. In order to download newer versions of firmware, it’s necessary to download Yuneec’s GUI software. The GUI is also needed to retrieve the Typhoons I.D. number so that I can sign the liability waiver so that I can fly the Typhoon in a “No Fly Zone” area. I happen to live within 3.5 miles of a class D airport, so you can’t even start the Typhoons motors in order to become acquainted with its functions. I have a large home where I’m capable of flying indoors during the winter months. The two times I was able to fly the Typhoon was at my flying field which is a 30-mile round trip drive. I downloaded their GUI software. However, every time I attempted to open the GUI, (which it does) a message appears that states: “WpApp Typhoon H has stopped working”, and my only choice is to close the program. I have uninstalled the software, and re-installed it three times with the same results. I’m running windows 10 on a new HP Envy laptop PC. I have tried to connect the Typhoon H to all three of the available ports, one after another. I have also tried different connection methods such as turning the Typhoon on first, then connecting it to my PC, then I tried connecting it with the Typhoon off and allowing the PC to turn the vehicle on. I have also downloaded their GUI on my other PC running windows 7, and the GUI doesn’t work on that computer either. I informed Yuneec about the situation and all they did was send me a case number. However, I haven’t heard from them and they still haven’t sent me a solution to the nonfunctioning GUI. Had I known about this issue, and a nonexistent customer service at Yuneec, I would never have purchased this drone. So, I’m hoping I can get a refund on my $1,500.00. BEWARE!!!

terrible- returned after 1st flight! bad reviews crashed

I have several camera "drones" from different brands but this one is a favorite. It is large enough to feel and look "solid" in the air, but it also portable enough with its folding "arms" to easily transport anywhere. I keep it in the back seat with the propellers on and ready-to-go when i drive from location to location. On your first flight you will definitely feel the power of the 6-motor design. As soon as you turn it on, it just defies gravity! It is also very responsive and agile in the "fast/rabbit" mode, but very smooth in the "slow/turtle" mode. The radio of the "H" is certainly a step up from anything else you may have tried before. The screen is built-in and it doubles as a tablet when not flying the "H". I use it to review my footage after the flight! Another thing to mention is that the "Watch Me" and "Follow Me" modes in the "H" work in my experience better than any other "drone" i have tried. The "H" camera will point to you and the "drone" will follow you around effortlessly. Also, with the Real-Sense technology by Intel, it will even avoid obstacles on its way. It was scary, but i tried this and it works (even has an audible alarm when you get too close and the on-screen display will show you the distance from the obstacles in 0.2m increments). Then, you also have the Wizard, it is pretty simple to use and if you want the "H" to follow someone else (instead of the r/c), you just give them the Wizard and you can control the camera (this is what they call the "team mode"). But beyond all these advanced technology and features in the "H", it can also be a very user-friendly "drone". I regularly give mine to people that have never flown a "drone" before and they are always surprised at how easy and stable it is! Just press the red "start" button for 3 seconds, and the left-stick up and you are airborne. I use the "smart mode" for people without RC experience that always keep the same orientation regardless of where the camera is pointing and they never have a problem with it. Right is always right, and left is always left. Let go the sticks and it just stops and hovers in place (GPS accuracy is very good too). About the camera, it is 12MP & 4k and the video from it is very well stabilized and sharp. Stills and video both look great. I use a 4k monitor for video editing and the footage from this camera is sharp (even too sharp - if there is such a thing). If you plan to record at 120fps, then you will need a very fast SD memory card or frames might be dropped (use at least 85MBps cards). I usually like 4k@30fps and use ND filters. Low light performance is good, considering the size of the sensor. You certainly can film after sunset, no problem, and it even has a "night" mode that actually works well. I have noticed that, depending where the light comes from, the video can be a bit overexposed, so i recommend using a -0.5 to -1 exposure override (it is very easy to set). Camera and video controls are very user-friendly and if you are beginner, just set everything to auto and it will do just fine. If you are an advanced user, there are enough controls to let you adjust the settings to your liking as well. The camera gimbal can also rotate 360 degrees, and since the landing gear is retractable, it will never get in the way. Finally, to keep this short, this package comes with everything you need to fly, and then some. Two batteries, a wall charger, a car charger, the wizard, all cables you need, even an SD card, and of course the screen is built-in so you do not need to have an extra tablet with you. Everything fits in the backpack - so you can transport this anywhere you go. P.S. I had the Q500 before i upgraded to the "H" and i also have a Yuneec Breeze now and NEVER had an issue with any Yuneec products or batteries! Also, i believe that Yuneec has good customer support and after all, they are located in California! Overall, i highly recommend this "H" if you are looking for a quality built multi-rotor.

This unit is really one of the best Ready To Fly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on the market. The built in screen alone puts it above others that rely upon a phone or tablet, and it dominates visually with the exclusive 360 degree gimbal that will always have smooth unobstructed views due to the raised landing gears out of the way. The 6 rotors should be the standard for professional use, as the safety and reliability of the unit is much higher if a motor or even two fails, compared to a quadcopter. The RealSense is simply amazing at obstacle avoidance, it is almost magical in how smooth all of this technology works together !

I have flown many drones over the past four years, and I am now a professional, FAA 107 licensed drone operator. I have over 1000 hours of flight time flying drones, and I have flown and researched nearly every drone on the market. I have flown drones for Hollywood feature films, and I've worked with Emmy Nominated Director/Writer Andrew P Jones, working side-by-side with him to capture exactly what he needed. I have flown drones manufactured by many different companies, and I can say without hesitation that DJI produces the best drones on the market. They manufacture drones that cost over $12,000, and they've put more money and time into research and development than any other company in the world. Their consumer drones have the same, superior quality as their professional drones. The Yuneec Typhoon H is a decent drone for beginners, and it performs according to its specifications. Its camera is 4K, but you must take into account the size of the imaging sensor. Yes, it has a resolution of 4K, but since the imaging sensor is so small, it struggles to produce a quality image in low light. The Yuneec doesn't have a mechanical shutter, and its optics and imaging chip don't come close to the size and quality of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Also, compare the bit rate at which the two drones record footage. Yuneec doesn't come close to the P4P. The Yuneec's movements are fluid, but no where close to the fluidity of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. The Yuneec drone has a range of less than 1 mile, which means its signal output is much weaker than the P4P. This means that when you are filming in areas with many obstacles nearby, the range is easily cut in half. You will be highly disappointed with this range once you start getting comfortable operating the drone. The Phantom 4 Pro has a range of over 4.3 miles, and it transmits using the 2.4 GHz spectrum as well as the 5.8 GHz, which helps eliminate interference, giving you the full 4+ mile range. The sensors on the Phantom 4 Pro (P4P) are much more advanced, as they can detect obstacles from 90 feet away, even when travelling at high speeds. It detects obstacles in 5 directions and prevents accidental collisions. The battery life of the P4P is rated at 30 minutes (depending on conditions), and the camera on the P4P is far superior to the Yuneec. The P4P has a 1-inch 20MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, which is typically only found on drones that cost thousands of dollars more. As a professional drone operator, I cannot recommend spending $1500 on a Yuneec Typhoon H, when you can purchase a DJI Phantom 4 Pro for the same price. DJI manufacturers a majority (80%) of the drones that are used to film Hollywood movies. DJI quality is superior to any other drone manufacturer. If you want to purchase a "toy", buy the Yuneec, but if you want a drone that is manufactured by the industry leader which is capable of producing professional quality footage, DJI is the only brand that should be considered. I'm not compensated in any way for writing this review. I have no affiliation with DJI, I just simply can't stand to see someone spend their money on an inferior product. I have built drones, repaired drones, and flown over 1000 hours, so I know just about everything there is to know about consumer drones. Please take a moment to check out the Phantom 4 Pro website at: https://store.dji.com/product/phantom-4-pro?from=menu_products Research every aspect of the drone, then compare it to the specifications of the Yuneec Typhoon H. There's no comparison. Also, I recommend going to YouTube and looking up Phantom 4 Pro footage (preferably videos shot by professionals), then look up the footage shot by the Yuneec Typhoon H. Again, no comparison. This is a substantial investment for many people, so take a little time and do your research. Why not buy a professional grade drone instead of spending your money on a toy? Take my advise for what it's worth, but I've been in the drone industry for years, and professional cinematographers only use DJI. The difference between the two is literally night and day. Please, please do your research, and you will find that the Yuneec cannot come close to the quality and performance of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

I usually do not write reviews or trust products outside of DJI. I have owned everything from DJI Phantom FC40 to the Inspire to the Matrice. I decided to take a chance on the Yuneec Typhoon H. I am happy to say I am extremely satisfied. The platform and remote are far more "advanced" than the DJI RTF setups. Yes DJI are clean and cutting edge, but the remote always felt like a toy to me. The ST-16 (comes with the Typhoon), feels like a high end remote that I purchased to bind with the Typhoon. It feels like it shouldn't belong with it. Anyways, full customizable and battery life is around 3-flights per charge, with chimping in between The Typhoon H itself is an amazing machine. The Intel sense works wonders and does actually avoid obstacles during follow me modes etc. No issues, but I will never fully rely on any obstacle sensor, so I always fly safe. I have not discovered the full flight time as of yet. I usually fly and get the shots I need, land and move on to the next battery. I haven't flown to the 2nd critical battery level, let alone the first. The machine is a beast. I switched off GPS and I was able to reach speeds in excess of 52mph. May have caught the wind draft just right. Flying in wind or gusts is literally a breeze.. Holds its position better than any quad I have owned. And even quieter than any quad I've owned. The gimbal is steady even in high winds/gusts. Quality is mediocre but decent enough if you have plenty of light. Haven't experimented with low light yet. Have experienced ZERO horizon drift!!! I have had this issue with every DJI quad I have owned, except with the Phantom FC40 with GoPro and 3rd party gimbal. The Wizard remote is something dreams are made of. I do not want to spoil the excitement using this controller type. Get ready for a whole new level of control and portability. I highly recommend this hexa-copter. Coming from several DJI setups, I feel even more confident with my Typhoon H. Do not hesitate to pick this machine up!!!!

I love my Typhoon H. Its the smoothest steadiest video. The peace of mind of being able to fly even if a prop breaks, and the return to home feature are a big deal. Flying this bird is an exhilarating experience. its quick and responsive. Customer Service at Yunecc is awesome as well and there is a huge forum presence.

Flys like a dream, easy to control, video is smooth. Looks super slick, retract gear is cool. I upgraded the antennas with FPVLR and get about 6000 feet reliably. Highly recommended, buy extra batteries you gunna love flying this thing.

I would like to start with the drone , awesome , this drone is amazing, quality , fit and finish is impeccable. I have purchased a lot of drones and by far Yuneec is my favorite . Secondly and more importantly their customer service is the best out of any drone manufacturer I have dealt with . Great people who are more than happy to help you with any problems or questions . For a new hobbiest who is just getting into drones I highly recommend Yuneec , and for the veteran flyer I also recommend Yuneec . All the things a veteran flyers drone doesn't have the Yuneec will . They really listen to their customers . So in short Buy a Yuneec you will not be disappointed .

This is my first ever drone and now that I have a half dozen flights under my belt a review is definitely is order. This is a fantastic flying drone, it stays up, even in tough winds, even if you make a mistake on the controls. This drone stays in the air. I know a lot of people find the ST16 controller to be too bulky and confusing. I couldn't disagree more, the ST16 is big but the controls are well placed and intuitive. I have used a lot of heavy machinery and tools and that experience seemed to transfer over to smooth use of this controller. If you want a drone that flies itself get the wizard controller....which WAS included in this kit. I was not expecting that and it is not listed in the ad but it seems that some of the Typhoon H's are including some unlisted goodies like the Wizard. The batteries charge a little faster than I was expecting. The backpack is comfortable, I hiked a couple of miles with it and it was very comfortable. The Intel Real sense kicks in with authority! The drone will fly right away from you if you run at it. The Smart mode makes flying easier if you don't want to concentrate on the controls. I really enjoy flying in Angle mode though. The controls just seemed more responsive in Angle mode. The images are fantastic, lots of options for resolution and framerate. The automatic settings for varying light conditions made an instant difference. The ST16 also saves a 720p version of whatever you record just in case the drone camera has a mixup. You just boot up into the tablet mode and they are saved in the file system under images/videos.

I have this drone for 8 months now and I can say that it is awesome to go out and fly it. I have a Mavic pro as well and I like it very much specially for portability. But if I don't fly my Typhoon for awhile I miss doing it to feel the power, the maneuvering, and overall sensation plus the incredible remote that is so professional like. I am no professional photographer but i feel like he camera is fantastic.. Customer Service is very good.

I have been flying my non-real sense version since they were released and decided to upgrade to the real sense version. The obstacle avoidance is amazing when I am using the wizard in follow me mode while riding my wave runner on the lake to capture some amazing videos.

I have a DJI Phantom 4 (just bough another, a Phantom 4 Pro, today) and I bought the Typhoon H Pro because of its ability to rotate the CAMERA 360 degrees while drone flies straight as well as for the 2 additional props providing safety. As to Customer Service. Yuneec has a SUPERB customer service. You get a real person quickly on the phone. Repairs are FAST. There's a good support group of Typhoon H "pilots" If it had support for LICHI or if Lichi had Typhoon H support, It'd give it 5 stars. I like to plan my missions in advance on Lichi,w which is supported by Phantom and vice versa. It's not often that one sees even FAIR customer support these days, so consider that seriously when making up your mind on purchasing a Typhoon H.

Sold my 2yr old DJI Phantom to upgrade to a newer model. After weeks of reading comparisons and reviews, I decided on the Typhoon H. The Mavic Pro has more bells and whistles but was too small for my taste. The H looks awesome right out of the box. The controller IS rather large but doubles as a tablet. The built in 7" screen is sweet. No more relying on my cell phone to see live images. However, there is an app available for use with the Wizard. The H is responsive and the 4k camera takes awesome footage. Instructions are mediocre at best so be prepared to watch YouTube videos to learn all the features of the H, and there are a ton.

This is my 3rd drone but 1 Yuneec. The customer service is great!. It fly's like a dream but be careful. this bird gets a lot of looks. and they also constatntly do updates to make it better so your not stuck with what you get.

I have two of these, great new technology. A modular design for ease of add-ons and repair. I have flown 40 or 50 times, and like the H more each time. Yuneec documentation lags behind, but the company answers their calls and emails, their reps are friendly and helpful. I believe Yuneec has a great future.

Had the Typhoon H Pro for 2 months. Read every document, watched every YouTube video before ever taking it out. a couple of weeks ago I downloaded the newest update which allows WiFi automatic updates. I calibrated it, flew it a few times with no issues. I fully charged the batteries before taking it out last week. This is when the problems started. Short five minute flight, uneventful. Shut it off, changed locations. Sent it up, didn't get more than ten feet up and it started shuttering. I could not control it at all. Landing gear was down but would not come back. It was flying erratically until it flew at a 45 degree angle into the lake. Called tech support and per their request, sent the telemetry data into Yuneec and explained what happened. After a week of no response from them, called them back. I was placed on hold for about 4-5 minutes. When the customer service rep came back on line she said while I was on hold they reviewed the telemetry data and it showed that the battery was seriously low and that was why it wouldn't respond to the controller. She further stated that the telemetry data shows everything they needed and that they would offer a new one at a discount but as far as they were concerned there was no glitch in the new software or any other failure they wanted to explore. I explained that the battery was almost fully charged and there was no light code showing up on the H Pro nor a low battery indication on the T16 controller. Her response was to repeat that the telemetry data showed seriously low battery. I spent over $2,000 total for a drone that wouldn't indicate that the battery is low after just 5 minutes of use, (if that was actually the cause). It wouldn't respond to the controller let alone land. Thus I have no interest in purchasing another Yuneec product. In my opinion, they are not reliable enough to make this kind of investment in. Hopefully my review will help you make a better product decision than I did.

Absolutely the best midrange camera drone on the market. Easy setup and ease of use. The ability to rotate the camera 360° beats the competition. Drone is made of quality and durable materials for years of use. Highly recommended.
