Compared to DJI,Yuneec is also full of power

Now the consumer drone market is becoming crowded and companies like Yuneec, and DJI, will have to focus on honing drones and software for business users.

Flying a drone is tricky business. The prosumer models are powerful, fast and can get into trouble in a hurry if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s why smart, logical design and intuitive controls are so important in the drone game.

Don’t get me wrong, the $1,299, six-rotor drone is expertly designed. It has a third more rotors than, say, the DJI Phantom 4 and, unlike virtually every other drone I’ve tested, folds up for relatively easy transport: the rotor arms fold down to the body when not in flight.

The Yuneec Typhoon H is also an intelligent drone, more or less matching DJI on autonomous flight control features, including built-in obstacle avoidance and the ability to track objects on its 4K camera.

It is paired, though, with one of the more confusing remote controls, called a ground station, I’ve encountered in some time.

Like the DJI Phantom 4, Yuneec’s Typhoon H arrives in a rather large gray foam box. Lacking a handle, it doesn’t quite qualify as a carrying case (you can buy a drone backpack separately). Inside is the drone, with all its rotors folded down, the sizable remote control (the ST16 Ground Station), a bag of a dozen propellers, a large drone battery, AC/DC charger with cables for both the drone and remote, a sunshade for the remote’s 7-inch screen, a neck strap to hold the remote and a 16GB micro SD card and SD card-sized micro SD card adapter.

Before we get to flying, it’s worth spending some time talking about the remote control. Unlike the DJI Phantom 4, which uses a much smaller and lighter remote that’s paired with your iPad or iPhone running DJI flight software, Yuneec’s Ground station is an all-in-one device. The centerpiece is a 7-inch screen running Yuneec’s Android-based ground control interface, which offers real-time updates on altitude GPS and satellite availability, current position, altitude, speed, distance from pilot and photography presets. It’s also where you access most of the drone’s deeper settings and more powerful modes.

Yet despite my reservations about the Yuneec Typhoon H, especially its bloated Ground System, I still think it’s a really good prosumer drone. Yes, it will take more time to figure out.

The comparison between Yuneec and DJI

Now the drones could be seen almost everywhere.The China’s two drone manufacturers are outstanding in the market of the world. Talking about comparing brands, we have decided compare two brands in the technology business; one is an oldie and the other is a newbie.Do you know the two brands?If not,let me tell you-DJI vs Yuneec.Let’s make the comparison based on their features and market value.

• Market Price:Considering the drones these brands have in the market. Their prices are relatively the same. Their prices range from $1000 to $3000 even though the prices of DJI drones are higher than those of Yuneec drones.

• Flight Time:These brands have drones that run approximately the same time. DJI have drones that run for 15-25 minutes, while Yuneec drones run for 20-25 minutes. For a new brand, we think Yuneec is stepping up to DJI on this one.

• Model Size, Dimension and Weight:DJI drones come in various sizes ranging from small and medium sizes to large sizes. On the other hand, Yuneec drones are mostly medium-sized drones. In any case, product variety is an advantage DJI has over Yuneec.

• Flight Automation: The kinds of features in drones are determined by the manufacturer. DJI drones have the latest features but come with a high price, whereas Yuneec have relatively similar features to DJI but not all. DJI have one of the coolest drones with multiple flight modes, but some people would ditch it for Yuneec due to its price affordability. Yuneec offer awesome drones for a reasonable price, too.

• Accessories: Agreed, both brands have smart features such as follow me, return to home, watch me features, GPS, camera frame and focus, multiple control mode. Yuneec drones are packed with accessories such as batteries, controller, propellers and other accessories, while DJI drones are not fully packed with accessories. Yuneec latest drone comes with two batteries but DJI doesn’t have such advantage.

• Design: Yuneec drones have a rugged look or mean-looking designs, while DJI drones have sleek and awesome designs.

• Mode of Operation:Yuneec drones are easy to operate compared to DJI drones. Yuneec would be the best option for a beginner. DJI drones require a separate phone for set-up and connectivity while Yuneec drones do not require that.

DJI has been the king of drone manufacturing companies in recent years, but Yuneec has given them a run for their money. Yuneec have proven consistently that they are a formidable competitor that can outshine DJI.
