With the Yuneec H520 and the Yuneec Tornado H920 Plus, Yuneec is expanding its multicopter range with two models for professional applications. The H520 drone is equipped with a 50mm lens or a thermal imaging camera for inspection, the H920 Plus is designed with a zoom camera for camera shots.
The H520 and Tornado H920 Plus both have six rotors and are designed for professional use. The Tornado H920 Plus is designed for users who are interested in filming; The H520 is designed with a possible payload of half a kilo for the commercial or industrial market.
The Yuneec drone H520 is striking orange lacquered and allows a flight time of 30 minutes. The systems, including the control system, are largely redundant, and the drone has a new precision compass. It is also equipped with a real-sense camera from Intel for environmental detection.
Three available camera models for the H520
The Yuneec H520 can be equipped with a total of three different cameras: the first model corresponds to a classic copter camera with a lens with a wide angle of view of 95 degrees. The CGO 3+ can record videos in 4K quality at 30 fps, in full-HD the picture rate is up to 120 fps. The camera sits in a three-way gimbal and can be rotated endlessly by 360 degrees.
The CGO-CI is also equipped with a second camera that uses a 50mm focal length lens. This leads to a less wide-angle recording angle, which is intended to facilitate close-up shots. According to Yuneec, the camera model is particularly suitable for inspection flights. Also the CGO-CI can record in 4K at 30 fps.
The third available camera model is the CGO-ET, a residual light and thermal imaging camera. The RGB and thermal image signals can be combined or displayed individually. In RGB mode, the CGO-ET can record video to a maximum of full-HD. The H520 is controlled by Yuneec’s well-known control unit ST16, which runs on Android and has a large 7-inch display. The drone weighs 1.890 grams including camera and battery and flies at a maximum speed of 72 km / h.
Tornado H920 Plus for film makers
The Yuneec Hexacopter Tornado H920 Plus has a shorter flight time of 20 minutes, but also a far higher maximum of 4,000 meters – the H520 is only 122 meters. The Tornado H920 Plus is designed for videofilms. As a camera, a new model, developed together with Panasonic is used.
The CGO-4 has a triple optical zoom, 16 megapixels and can record videos with a maximum of 4K and 30 fps. It hangs in a three-way gimbal, which can be rotated 360 degrees as in the case of the H520.
Like the H520, the Tornado H920 Plus can be easily used for camera shots thanks to the Curve Cable Cam mode. In this mode, the pilot flies the desired distance before recording, including the desired camera setting. Then the drone controls this route fully automatically and records the video material. The points between the waypoints are interpolated and linked. In addition, there are numerous other flight modes, such as a follow-me function.
Prices not yet known
Also the Tornado H920 Plus comes with the ground station ST16, the maximum airspeed is 70 km / h. The two new Yuneec drones are expected to hit the market in the second quarter of 2017, according to Yuneec.
