Awesome!

Solid drone, very stable, excellent handling, great in wind (we have a lot in Wellington!), E90 provides great footage, and the integrated controller is fast and efficient. Loving it so far. It's also damn quiet, which means it gets fewer annoyed looks from people in the area. Just getting into the mission planning, and so far so easy. From first few weeks of usage, I would happily buy another at this stage should the need arise.

Yuneec H520 - E90 Configurable Bundle Ordered the drone through vertigodrones. No problems--they did a great job sending and delivering. Now for the H520. I've been flying the H520 a lot and logged 10hrs so far. I've found it to be overall a great drone. I came from the DJI "world" and find that, as with any drone, advantages and disadvantages of both. The drone has some serious power! With six props and it's additional power available I've flown it in 33kts of gusty winds and down to 41F. In these conditions I've go to 200ft (probably even stronger winds) and flown into the headwind--it still will do a GROUND SPEED of 30mph(in Angle mode with GPS). It's an incredibly stable platform and the E90 keeps a ROCK SOLID image. Love having the 5 prop "failsafe". I look forward to adding the CGOet IR camera soon. So being able to switch payloads is a great feature I didn't have on the Phantom 4 Pro. Also, having the integrated ST16 controller with android is a nice feature I didn't think I'd like (I'm and Apple guy). Updating software and firmware is a cinch. Once in range of a wifi, just connect the controller to the drone/camera, and go to the UpdatePilot. It'll do all necessary updates. This is not a beginner drone--I would recommend against that...this is an industrious drone for commercial use and doing aerial work. It doesn't have a lot of features like Point-of-Interest or follow me, etc. It's a good design for what's intended--the GUI is not fancy at all--just plain vanilla and functional. The E90 image quality is a bit disappointing--just not the same WB and color saturations I'm used to with the 4k on my DJI Phantom 4 Pro. But in post and adding color it works out. The waypoint and the survey flight planners are superb. Another disappointment is problems with latency at +2200ft distance. I've tried different locations and antennas and gotten customer services advice. Still get a jerky image at longer ranges. After just 4hrs one of the arm lights (right side Green nav light), went inoperable. Bummer. Had to send drone back to Yuneec to have them figure it out--turned out to be a loose plug. But customer service was great and took care of problem and it's now being shipped back. I was grounded for 2 weeks awaiting it's return. This drone is going to be a great addition to my fleet and look forward to continuing to expand it's capabilities. Again customer service receives great kudos for their help and continued communications. 5 Dennis Dickinson

Great Drone - Excellent Service

About the drone: This is the first drone I have purchased and flown. (H520 with E90 camera) The intended use is for 3D topographic site mapping, integrating into our BIM modeling and generating high quality construction progress photos/videos for our construction projects. Knowing very little about drones, I shopped for 6 months before purchasing this model through Verigo Drones. Since I am still learning and getting ready for my FAA certification, I can't say much about the drone except that it's a lot of fun to fly, and produces amazing videos and photos.

Q: Several Questions: First, propeller durability? Second, is there any way to put a bigger battery in to increase flight times? Third, what is the max speed and will it handle 25mph constant winds. Position Hold, what is this unit guaranteed latency wise and diameter to hold while in "Hold Mode"? I am sure it has "Return to Home" self landing feature? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration, Dennis

Asked by: Dennis Haffner - 11/19/2017

A: The propellers are durable for the material they are made out of. Also regarding the bigger battery, at the moment Yuneec has not released a bigger battery. The max speed for the H520 is 30.2 mph. The drone will be able to hold up in 25mph winds, but it will drain the battery life fighting the winds, and based on the direction the wind is blowing at the time of landing, it may alter the ability to return home. It does have the return home feature as well as the self landing feature, at 12 ft in the air, the landing gears will start to come down to prepare for landing. During Altitude hold mode, the drone hovers in place.

Q: PS: Collision Avoidance, how many sensors does this unit have, and what is the reliability? Will it pick up "tree branches" with leaves or without leaves? I see two sensors in the picture. I am considering this unit for use in industrial plants.

Asked by: Dennis Haffner - 11/19/2017

A: It has two sonar senors in the front of the aircraft. It will pick up tree branches with leaves but wont with things like small tree branches with out leaves, and thin power lines or cables.

Q: Does the e90 camera have zoom capabilities? Optical or Digital?

Asked by: James Allen - 6/17/2017

A: We do not have final confirmation be the "E90" refers to the focal length and seems to imply a fixed focal length. For more information please refer to the following page: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/understanding-focal-length.html

Capture Highly Detailed Images
The E90 is designed for law enforcement applications such as accident recreation, search and rescue operations and for 3D mapping/modeling. In addition, broadcast and production professionals will appreciate the dramatic aerial shots afforded by the E90’s high frame rate and accurate color. The E90’s 1-inch 4K resolution sensor, combined with the H520 bestin- class airframe stability, provides for extremely high quality imaging. The result is superior high-resolution 2D ortho or 3D maps, precision volumetrics, and 3D surface models.

Tactical Tool that Assists Officers in High Intense Situations
Clear accident scenes faster, gather incident forensic evidence on-scene while it’s clean, empower your team to safely handle dangerous situations with an aerial view, and cover large search areas in minutes instead of hours. The H520 Hexacopter aerial system has been developed specifically for commercial use. This sUAS enterprise solution features a proven, stable, long flight time airframe, with multiple payload options and advanced DataPilot™ mission planning software.

Accident Scene Recreation
With the E90 camera and H520 aircraft operated by Yuneec DataPilot™, accident scenes may be captured for 2D or3D scene archive, suitable for any post-accident investigation. Using industry tools such as Pix4D™, PhotoModeler™, or other professional software applications, agencies are able to investigate, determine, and reexamine accident scenes with granular detail.

Crime Scene Information Gathering
Too often, contamination of a crime scene becomes weakest link in crime scene investigation. Deploying an sUAS system prior to entering a scene allows for accurate capture of data without touching the scene itself. High quality camera systems with embedded GPS data enables evidence-gathering to be captured and examined before the crime, accident, or fire investigators or first-responders have entered the area.

Quickly Change Cameras Without Powering Down
All Yuneec commercial camera systems are hot-swap capable which minimizes down time and improves productivity. The E50 camera-gimbal combination may be swapped for an E90 or CGOET camera-gimbal combo without power cycling the airframe. The quick release and lock mechanism of the gimbal and airframe mounting system enables fast and efficient exchange of cameras.

EFFICIENT MISSION CONTROL SOFTWARE SYSTEM

Yuneec DataPilot™ is a complete solution for planning survey and waypoint-based UAV flight. Unlike other flight planning applications, DataPilot™ is integrated with the hardware and software control system utilized by the Yuneec H520 sUAS.

Precise Flight Plans

Our DataPilot™ software system enables users to efficiently and consistently create orthomaps, 3D scans, crop data imagery, or cinematic movement for repeatable, recallable aerial flight paths, without requiring expensive 3rd party software. Surveys, construction measurement, BIM components, perimeter security, accident scene reconstruction, forensic captures, 3D scans, orthomosaic, photo-stitching are generated with precision and efficiency via the DataPilot™ interface.

Pre-plan Your Flight Mission
Missions may be stored for later recall, or planned off-site and transported to the control system via email, thumbdrive, or micro- SD card. Mac and PC users may plan missions offsite and execute missions on-site, allowing for timeplanning, collaborative mission planning, and archiving of missions in a cloud or local storage.

Automated Flight Control
DataPilot™ auto-generates survey paths with user-defined overlap/sidelap, and cross-hatching for precision 3D or large format image output. Users may define a survey resolution via altitude or inchper- pixel decisions, providing a platform that is capable of flight even in low altitude scenarios. DataPilot™ also allows for storage of maps from many map providers for access in areas with no connectivity, and provides tools for precise waypoint placement even in areas where no updated maps are available.

View Live Feed With The ST16S
DataPilot™ is integrated with the Yuneec ST16S Ground Control Station via the built-in Android 7” Multi-function display, and may be used for exporting flight logs, integrating with popular analytics and post-processing applications such as Pix4D™, Agisoft™, Datumate™, DroneDeploy™, Dronifi™, and many others.
