Just the battery you could know why the Typhoon H is worse

The battery performance of Yuneec Typhoon H is annoying for its recharge time.It takes more than two hours for a full charge which is twice as long as the Phantom 4.

Here is some case from pilots with Yuneec Typhoon H battery.

“I was out today and tried an experiment I have suspected that when running videos most of the time 15 minutes is about as safe as I can get on a new Typhoon H battery. Next battery flew for 35 minutes taking about half dozen photos at about 400 feet out and 200 feet up. The third battery I flew fast and high taking a few videos and photos and got a low battery at 400 feet up and barely got it down in time, 20 minutes.

Bottom line you have to pay attention to ‘everything’ when you fly, weather, wind, taking videos, flying fast and climbing fast. I have two DJI Phantoms and they will fly circles around these Yuneec’s, the Yuneec’s are very slow in response time. Do love the camera that takes fantastic videos in 4K though.”

“I took my Typhoon H up for its first flight. All I basically did was hover at different altitudes and moved short distances taking a series of pictures. From the first picture to the last picture was only about 15mins. Then I was forced to land with low voltage warning. The battery meter on the st16 was showing over 14 volts and the little icon showed half battery. So I took it up again to about 85 feet to take one last picture and before I could frame the shot it started to return to home. Will the battery break in or is something defective. Other Typhoon H owners say they are getting 18 to 20 mins. Oh, and the wind was minimal.”

Of course, the battery performance of a drone will depend on what the pilot does with his bird, and what the conditions are on any given day. More wind means less flight time, as the drone has to work harder to stay stable. Still, with a two-hour recharge time, Typhoon H users will have to bear with the inconvenience of carrying two extra batteries or three.

Indoor flights with Typhoon Q500 4K gps off

Some experienced pilot that’s able to properly control the Typhoon Q500 4K in Angle (Pilot) Mode, and they do not exceed any altitude/distance limits or fly in any ‘no fly zones’ in your area, they are willing to disable/turn off Typhoon Q500 GPS. So how?

WARNING: Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features, only work when GPS is active and the Q500 has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you disable/turn off Typhoon Q500 GPS the drone can only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if you cannot properly control the Q500 in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Yuneec drone Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.We do not typically recommend disabling Typhoon Q500 4K GPS for any reason, especially if you’re a first-time or low-time pilot. However, if you’re an experienced, you could try.

And do NOT disable/turn off Typhoon Q500 4K GPS unless you accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or ‘fly aways’.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Every time you turn the Q500 on it will default to having Typhoon Q500 4K GPS active/on (even if you disabled GPS the last time is was powered on).

Step 1) While the ST10 and Q500 are powered on and linked (and the motors are NOT running), move the Proportional Control Rate Slider on the right side of the ST10 to the uppermost (rabbit) position.

Step 2) Move the right-hand stick all the way to the right and hold it there until step 3 is completed.

Step 3) Move the Flight Mode Selection Switch from Smart to Home and Home to Smart mode 4 times in 3 seconds.When GPS has been disabled successfully the Q500 will emit an audible indication and the Typhoon Q500 4K GPS status on the ST10 screen will show ‘Disabled’.

Also, the Main LED Status Indicator will flash purple and the Below Motor LED Status Indicators will flash three times per second then will stay off for one second.

Yuneec Typhoon wifi problems reconfirm why Yuneec fails to challenge market leader DJI

Yuneec China has long been striving to offer a formidable challenge to DJI – the largest of all UAV drone manufacturers in the world. Unfortunately, Typhoon wifi problems, along with other issues with the hexacopter, have made pilots deeply disappointed and frustrated. Online forums like dronecompares or yuneecpilots are already swamped with tens of hundreds of complaints from users who say the Typhoon wifi problem is bigger than what Yuneec is willing to admit publicly.

The Typhoon wifi problem has a clear precursor in the way pilots struggle to get their drone airborne – it takes forever to establish the GPS connection and to get the Typhoon wifi going. As a result, the connection of the camera keeps snapping back and forth with the ground and the Typhoon wifi connection is lost intermittently. Pilots have submitted first-hand reports of Typhoon wifi problems where they experienced sudden loss of connection and the recording stopped without any notice.

Having set up waypoints, some pilots would take off and start recording aerial footage and then, all of a sudden, see the Typhoon wifi connection stop working. And they’re not a small number if online reviews are any indication. In comparison, DJI Phantom 4 signal loss instances are far less frequent – the internal wifi card of the DJI machine delivers a much more reliable performance, speaking volumes for DJI’s superior R&D.

One particular Yuneec user even went on to say that she struggled for 15 minutes to simply get the Typhoon wifi connection established – that’s the extent of Typhoon wifi problems. The drone’s owners have since made numerous complaints about the quality of the Typhoon wifi connection. For some, it is just impossible to connect using Typhoon wifi, because the wifi network on their drones simply doesn’t show up on their devices.

Yuneec Typhoon H vs DJI Phantom 4 benchmarking is not only about the Typhoon wifi performance. Even from a basic navigation and tracking point of view, Phantom 4 is a much more superior product. DJI Phantom 4 reviews are all praise for unique features like ActiveTrack and TapFly. Most importantly, inconsistent Typhoon wifi problem and issues with its GPS connection mean that its video downlink is also unreliable. In comparison, DJI offers its highly advanced and proprietary Lightbridge 2 video downlink technology.

Yuneec Typhoon H has a smaller operating range – about a kilometer – against a DJI Phantom 4 comparison, which can be safely controlled from over five kilometres away. One may think the Typhoon wifi problem is a function of how far the drone is from the ground. In fact, Typhoon wifi problems have been reported at a wide variety of ranges – from 30 feet to 500 feet. Considering the extent of Typhoon wifi problems, experts have concluded that DJI’s RC quadcopter is obviously a better machine than the more expensive Typhoon H.

One of the big promises made to the market when Yuneec announced its alliance with Intel was better navigation and safer flights. Unfortunately, the Yuneec Intel partnership has had no impact on the Typhoon wifi outage. Pilots are more frustrated than ever, and market analysts are just negative in their outlook.

Typhoon H RealSense not so much bang for the big bucks

Yuneec hexacopter equipped with Intel’s RealSense gets mixed reviews.

Yuneec is gaining a lot of attention from top drone pilots testing out the Typhoon H RealSense for marked quality improvements over the bulky Yuneec Q500 4K and rival DJI Phantom 4.

So far however the added cost for the Typhoon H RealSense for the Yuneec drone, running at $1,800 to $1,900 before any accessories, has called into question the bang for buck of the sensor initially designed for in-house equipment.

In particular, the advertised 3-5 meters of effective distance of the Typhoon H RealSense using structured infrared light has not proven true in higher-speed outdoor aerial photography.

Plus, in a DJI vs Yuneec comparison, the Typhoon H RealSense lacks the more numerous and stable GPS connections available to the DJI Phantom 4, calling into question the ability to dodge obstacles.

In fact, when Yuneec made a sort of debut with the Typhoon H RealSense at the Las Vegas CES show at the start of 2016, a high-tech and expensive VICON demo system was employed to avoid any slipups. That is not the case for the Typhoon H RealSense models on sale now and the comparison to the top-notch DJI Phantom 4 tracking system could prove it a poor cousin.

The idea from Yuneec R&D was to install the Intel RealSense R200 camera at the factory – current Typhoon H models can upgrade for $600 – and use an Intel Atom processor module to map the drone’s surroundings in 3D.

Getting the new parts onto the drone for the Typhoon H RealSense and in sync with other equipment could be a challenge, though Yuneec has not highlighted any particular weight issue or other issues with battery life that may result. Still, electronic equipment has a way of testing patience.

However, it is not a bad plan, but as seen with the Yuneec Q500 4K – products leaving the Yuneec production line have a way of coming back for tweaks, or outright part replacements as in the case of the antenna for the patchy internal WiFi card that has caused all kinds of connection complaints. That is unlike the proprietary and superior DJI Lightbridge 2, which has drawn praise for solid connections.

However, it may be the willingness of existing Typhoon H owners to pay the $600 premium that provides the best evidence for the Typhoon H RealSense because it would have to far outshine the existing ultrasonic collision prevention already installed.

So far, several reviewers who own a Q500 4K or a Typhoon H without the Typhoon H RealSense said they would wait, especially since production glitches are apparently delaying a wider rollout and Yuneec has only vaguely promised a separate Typhoon H RealSense technology at some point in the future.

And at least one early reviewer on Amazon said replacing parts broken during flyaways and erratic crashes has bumped up the cost considerably.

“I’m a little over $2800 in on a $1800 copter,” Bifster said. “I should have waited and researched issues with this unit better, before I bought it.”

Yuneec Typhoon G wifi comparing the DJI Phantom 4’s Lightbridge

“I have been losing Yuneec Typhoon G wifi connectivity as of late. I look down and the display as saying it is trying to reconnect. This was a short flight. I was at 55 feet and 267 feet away. One flight I lost connectivity and it never re-connected. I hit home, landed craft, and had to cycle power to Typhoon to re-establish connection to camera. Any ideas??”

“I have had the exact same issue three times now…..but it displays the last connected still video frame instead of plain black….have to land, power down and wait for a new connection to get rid of the still frame video image stuck on the st10. …will test again to see if i was not keeping the st10 pointed directly at the Q500 within a 30¤ window.”

These are some cases from Yuneec forum, Yuneec Typhoon G wifi issues still bother some pilots.

Compared to Yuneec Typhoon G wifi, DJI’lightbridge is a great work. Lightbridge is a DJI proprietary communication link technology used to broadcast 720P live “near real time” video from a drone to the ground, over a mile, often 2+ miles. Lightbridge uses the same 2.4Ghz frequency band that Yuneec Typhoon G WiFi uses, however Lightbridge is much different than the standard WiFi communications other drone manufactures use (think Yuneec, Blade, 3DR). Lightbridge is a one way stream of data with no two way handshaking. It’s literally a broadcast of data, like TV broadcasters use from the top of hills. This is very different than Yuneec Typhoon G WiFi that requires constant two way “hand shake” communications with every packet of data. With WiFi, each data packet has to confirm a packet was received, and all 512 bytes in the packet was received intact. If one byte is lost, the whole 512 byte packet is sent again! This is where latency occurs. Resending data for one byte loss is a waste of time in the wireless video world of drone flying. Although wifi is very fast from a data point of view, the two way handshaking of the TCP/IP protocol WiFi hinders the goal of “real time” video, which everyone needs to fly drones FPV. There is NO TIME for resending packets when real time video is the goal.

When you reach the distance limits with Lightbridge the screen will typically show streaks and you’ll get a warning of connection weakness. Most of the time reconnecting is generally fairly quick, because there’s NO requirement for two-way handshaking to re-establish connection, like Yuneec Typhoon G Wifi. Lightbridge is much faster at re-establishing a connection when it reaches it’s distance limit.

Another weakness of Yuneec Typhoon G WiFi is wooded flight locations. Briefly going behind a tree with leaves can disrupt Yuneec Typhoon G WiFi signals and affect video a lot easier than Lightbridge. Wifi is more sensitive to lockups and disconnects with tree/leaf interferance. Trees contain moisture, a signal blocker, and will trigger Yuneec Typhoon G WiFi will lose a few bytes, triggering re-sending of large packets, impacting the latency and video consistency. Lightbridge reacts a little different with slight data is lost from trees. This looks more like video streaks or static, but you’ll always see an image, with a low latency of 100 to 200ms.

Yuneec Typhoon H battery: longer charging time and shorter flight time

The Yuneec Typhoon H battery is one focal point in an ongoing debate among drone pilots in the context of the broader DJI Phantom 4 vs Yuneec Typhoon H discussion.

DJI, which has the much larger market share and loyal fan-base, has world-class R&D capabilities.

Yuneec China is the challenger that is not quite up to the challenge.

In a way, the competition is good for the market. It may be less of an ideal situation for pilots who find themselves holding products that are not best in class or on the losing side of the competition. .

The Yuneec Typhoon H may fall in that category. While the specs and six propellers look impressive, three obvious issues have been identified by reviewers, issues that keep the DJI Phantom series clearly in the lead.

These issues are Yuneec Typhoon H battery performance, ease of control and size.

It was DJI who popularised drone flying as a hobby with its extremely popular Phantom line. Yuneec and other followers have since come up with their own models – making the market a vibrant and competitive one.

DJI’s RC quadcopter the Phantom 4 and the larger Yuneec H are both equipped with excellent video cameras, both are accessibly priced, and both have autonomous and safety-minded features that make flying easy. However, the Phantom 4 edges ahead with two distinct and patented features – TapFly and ActiveTrack. These make it possible, even for inexperienced pilots, to fly the drone and do it safely and smoothly.

A major drawback of the Typhoon H is its battery recharge time—a full charge takes well over two hours. That’s twice as long as the Phantom 4 takes. Talking about flight time, DJI Phantom 4 reviews report a flight time of close to 28 minutes. On the other hand, against Yuneec’s own claim of 24 minutes, live tests average only about 22 minutes. With a two-hour recharge time, Yuneec H pilots will definitely want at least a couple of extra batteries on hand.

Upon Typhoon H unboxing you can see that the hexacopter design is meant to add stability in flight, it has also made the Typhoon H a pretty hefty drone. With its remote control unit stacked with a multitude of buttons and switches, the Typhoon H can also be a lot to control at first.

Yuneec Q500 4k GPS problems

Launched earlier in 2016, the DJI Phantom 4 is recognised as the “best-in-class” RC quadcopter, contrasting with the year-old and problem plagued Yuneec Q500 4K.

DJI Phantom 4 reviews make it very clear that the DJI RC Quadcopter is the definitive winner in the DJI vs Yuneec contest.

A DJI Phantom 4 comparison against its competition becomes pretty straightforward when the Phantom’s collision avoidance feature is taken into account. Almost any Typhoon H review, evaluating the drone that Yuneec China produces, mentions that Yuneec drones are prone to connectivity problem. And one of the reasons for that is its reliance on Yuneec Q500 4k GPS tracking only.

On the contrary, Phantom 4 flight tracking is done through GPS as well as GLONASS. Launched in 1982, GLONASS is a Russian-led satellite network intended to work for weather positioning, velocity measuring and timing anywhere in the world or near-Earth space. Access to the US-led GPS system and to GLONASS makes the Phantom 4 a much better connected drone. All of this can be credited to DJI’s superior R&D capability.

DJI Phantom 4 signal loss incidents are extremely rare. And that’s at least partially due to the dual-support the drone gets. When used alone GLONASS doesn’t necessarily have a stronger coverage than GPS. But when both are used together, GPS+GLONASS certainly increase accuracy as well as coverage. And it is more useful in northern latitudes as Russia started GLONASS originally for Russia.

DJI Phantom 4 has a clear advantage over the Q500 4K or even any intel UAV Typhoon H. Accuracy is an advantage of using GLONASS with up-to 2 metre of accuracy. GPS+GLONASS allows the DJI drone to be pin pointed by a group of over 55 satellites all across the globe.

Camera options with a Yuneec drone remain limited

Options for cameras attached to a Yuneec drone, whether the RC quadcopter Yuneec Q500 series or the hexacopter Typhoon H models, a series of potential glitches thwarts pilots.

Ironically, one of these glitches comes with a Yuneec drone designed to accommodate a GoPro camera.

The Typhoon G was built specifically to house a GoPro along with the Typhoon G500 4K and Typhoon G500+, but a software update by GoPro “GoPro halted the camera stream out of the USB port, rendering the user helpless to get the desired video. This can leave the Yuneec drone without the ability to capture video, in essence.

As well, the struts need to be removed from the undercarriage of the Yuneec drone to attach the camera mount, the often-flimsy Yuneec SteadyGrip, onto the gimbal. But the AA NiMH battery system gimbal of the Yuneec drone does not charge the GoPro via the via USB and blocks the memory card slot.

These problems highlight earlier comparisons of DJI Phantom vs Yuneec in quality, notes a review in the World According to Cole that discusses the Yuneec drone.

“Getting back to the original comparison between the DJI Phantom 3 and the Yuneec Typhoon Q55+ Quadcopters: These two drones are similarly priced with similar, but not certainly not identical features,” Cole writes.

“If you’re interested in getting higher quality video (up to 4K), you may want to consider the Phantom 3 Professional, which can record video at three levels: High Definition (HD), Full High Definition (FHD), and Ultra High Definition (UHD), whereas the Typhoon Q500 only supports video in HD. If HD is enough for you, then the Phantom 3 Advanced model has the advantage based on price.”

Then of course there are the connection issues between the camera and controller that come with almost every Yuneec drone because of faulty internal WiFi cards and fewer satellites to lock on than DJI has for GPS connections.

This can result in a flyaway Yuneec drone, especially if line-of-sight is lost, and a loss of video. DJI routinely show better attention to detail in the operation of drones.

“The Phantom 3 holds the clear edge when comparing the maximum transmission distance of the controller, i.e., what’s the maximum distance (line of sight) that the drone can communicate with the controller? For the Phantom 3, it’s 2,000 meters; for the Typhoon, it’s only 600 meters, which is more than 3 times less than the Phantom 3,” Cole writes.

Practically speaking, the GPS transmitter on every Yuneec drone needs to be in sync with at least six satellites to get the Yuneec drone to follow the operator’s movements from above and aid in possible recovery – particularly important for new users, to maneuver the drone home if it comes out of range.

These transmission issues affect a number of in-flight parameters of a Yuneec drone that new users can probably adapt to with some trial and error. But the bigger issue on a Yuneec drone is when the casual user starts to want to use the drone for work-related tasks. This is a big and growing area that includes using drones to survey roof tops for repair issues, or surveying land.

Quality video is crucial to getting the work done.

Yuneec Typhoon H Backpack has very poor quality and design

When I bought the Yuneec Typhoon H, I didn’t get a backpack and after breaking enough little parts by having it rattle around in the back of my car, I knew a backpack would be the first accessory I’d buy with my Typhoon H that I just got a few weeks ago.

I really considered getting some of the other backpack on Amazon made for the Yuneec Typhoon H but after reading a lot of reviews, I just saw too many comments from people who said it never quite fit the Yuneec Typhoon H properly. I think the reason this is an issue with so many of the third party Yuneec Typhoon H backpack is that the manufacturers own one model of the Yuneec and make the backpack for it, but it doesn’t fit all of the slightly different models. That’s a key reason to get this official Yuneec Typhoon H backpack. But this official back pack still does not fit well!

The zipper is the first thing I look at when reviewing bags because they are often not sewn well, or are too tight and eventually break.  Really disappointed that this backpack cannot zip with the foam inside it and too tight to open it and close it like you put a big guy in the skinny pants. If I were to force the zipper it would break. There is no other material to pull or gather to place the two zippers closer together.

Also I do have some durability concerns with the material on the outside of the bag. It seems to scratch pretty easily.  I don’t think this Yuneec Typhoon H backpack can offer a great protection to my drone.

Also, I don’t like that the styrofoam on the top of this Yuneec Typhoon H backpack the lid is not glued in. Mine keeps shifting and I have to keep putting it back in its spot when shutting the pack. I think I’ll just get some glue and put mine in permanently.

One thing I am not satisfied about the build of this Yuneec Typhoon H backpack is that it has four feet on the back of the case so when you set it down, the bag is propped up on the ground directly, which is bad and will cause some scratchings.

The straps on the Yuneec Typhoon H backpack really too thin you’d miss the straps on a typical school backpack (like a Jansport). And there is no waist belt, which I usually like to have, but doesn’t really matter on this pack because all you’re holding in the pack is an ultralight quadcopter.

Does the Yuneec Intel partnership make the Typhoon H a safer drone?

DJI Phantom 4 comes with front facing cameras able ‘see’ and ‘sense’ any obstacle, from tress to birds to walls to flying objects, that may come its way. It was against this world-class Obstacle Avoidance System (OAS) that the Typhoon H Realsense was meant to compete against.

Many a DJI Phantom 4 review has termed its OAS truly a thing of the future.

Yuneec’s Typhoon H Realsense boasts a collision avoidance feature based on the Intel Realsense module. The Typhoon H Realsense uses ‘sonar’ technology instead of actual physical detection or visual tracking to avoid obstacles. The results have received mixed reviews – some experts pointing out to the fact the Typhoon H Realsense waits until very late before detecting an oncoming or imminent object.

Compared to the Typhoon H Realsense, the DJI Vision Positioning System – available as an extension – makes flying it an ever safer and easier experience.

Pilots can afford to sip their cup of coffee or check mails on their mobile phones when the drone was left to fend for itself, giving them a short respite while controlling their RC quadcopter. With the OAS supported by the DJI features like TapFly and ActiveTrack features, Phantom 4 is literally a breeze to operate. Even the most inexperienced beginner can fly the DJI RC quadcopter, safely and comfortably.

These features are not available with the Typhoon H Realsense. Dependent solely on GPS, tracking the Typhoon H Realsense is no joy either.

Typhoon H Realsense does have specs and credentials that are pretty impressive at least on paper. With the Typhoon H Realsense, Yuneec would have expected to have real potential that can challenge the safety credentials of the Phantom 4. Unfortunately, the Typhoon H Realsense collision avoidance feature is limited to detecting incoming or forthcoming articles when they are a mere five feet away.

Almost every Typhoon H review discusses how DJI is still ahead of the game in terms of R&D for better control and stability. The DJI vs Yuneec contest was expected to heat up with the release of the Typhoon H Realsense.

However, for the Typhoon H Realsense, a very common headache is the loss of connection during flight. This can be attributed to the unfortunate fact that Typhoon H has a much shorter operating range compared to the Phantom 4. In addition, a more stable GPS tracking means incidents of the DJI Phantom 4 signal loss extremely rare.

It has taken Yuneec around six months to bring the Intel-powered Typhoon H Realsense to market, but at long last, booking and sales have begun. Unfortunately, initial reviews of the Typhoon H Realsense are not really looking positive with pilots and drone enthusiasts are asking – is the expensively priced Typhoon H Realsense really worth that much money?

How did Yuneec Breeze wifi issues happen?

Following a recent Yuneec Breeze firmware update, some drone owners are reporting a problem with the Yuneec Breeze wifi not connecting.
“I have the Yuneec Breeze 2 weeks ago and was surprised at the good picture quality and the small copter stable flight attitude.
Now it was a firmware update to 1.0.3, where I feel that it has wifi connectivity worsened.
First, I have the Yuneec Breeze several times on and off, until the copter on my mobile phone is recognized. The next problem is as long as the Breeze is 30-40m away from me, the wifi connection breaks continuously.
I have the same issues with several mobile phones (including Iphone 5, Samsung K Zoom, Samsung S6, Samsung Tab 8 pro).”
It looks like many Breeze pilots have problems with the wifi connection.
“High-altitude flight to about 70 m (about 20 m away from me) was a problem. Then I sent the Yuneec Breeze at a low altitude on a distance flight. From about 60m distance the live image flickered (the video recordings are however perfectly) and movement (turn right / left) became stagnant.
From about 40m away was again everything is ok.
During the second high-altitude flight, the described image expeditions were given at approx. 60 m (video recording again problem-free). Therefore, I canceled the ascent for security reasons. On this flight, the Breeze was practically right above me. Something deeper was then again everything o.k.”
“Have a similar problem with the Yuneec Breeze and even more. For me is after 16 to 20 meters of altitude with the clean wifi connection. The images are only transferred hacked or the smartphone screen remains completely dark. By the way, 4k recordings are not possible at all because only frozen and stunted images are recorded and the camera buzzes exactly.”
“It flies first normal, then stops abruptly after 1-2min as the wifi connection is interrupted, waiting 30sec. Goes to set 10m high and then comes down to 1.20m right next to me and stays there on the spot. It can not be connected again to wifi. The only possibility is to wait until the battery is at 4% and it automatically lands, or you take it out of the air and put it out manually.”
Maybe the Yuneec Breeze has been brought to market early because of the competitive pressure.
