Does Yuneec drone confuse you?

Yuneec Typhoon G

Maybe the Yuneec Typhoon series confuse you as the Typhoon quadcopter from Yuneec may sound familiar.Don’t worry, we’ve got an opportunity to review Yuneec Typhoon G.

Yuneec just has made the announcement of their Typhoon G for some time. In the previous Q500, the 4K meant that the drone featured a 4K video camera. But in the G version, the Typhoon will now seamlessly integrate with a GoPro camera!

For other drones, a very common platform is to take the drone and mount a GoPro to it.  Most would agree that when it comes to compact video recording, the GoPro is the leader for the smoothest and clearest video and putting one on a drone is the best way to get aerial video without a full DSLR.  However using a GoPro on a drone comes with the tradeoff that a live video link often takes extra 3rd party video transmitters and even more 3rd party parts if you would like to see live telemetry data of your flight.  Traditionally making a flying GoPro not an “out of the box” option.

Yuneec Typhoon G is able to integrate directly with the GoPro and provide the same integrated flight experience that the Typhoon 4K is able to provide.  This means an easy to control drone paired with a top-quality camera that can be viewed live directly on the 5.5″ ST10+ Android touchscreen flight controller straight out of the box from just over 1/4 mile away.

Just like its predecessor, the new Typhoon G and GB203 gimbal will also include the same SteadyGrip device that now will give you a mobile, handheld gimbal for your GoPro that can be viewed live using your mobile phone and the CGO app.  Gone are the days of shaky footage.  That buttery smooth image that makes a drone so special can now be achieved safely in close range on the ground.

The most benefit of the Typhoon G is that if you are already a GoPro enthusiast and already own a GoPro Hero 3, 3+, 4 Black or 4 Silver, you can bring your own camera to the GB203 gimbal.
