TYPHOON H - Getting Started - Set Up and Your First Flight 

Best informational guidance that I've seen on the Typhoon-H. Been packed away in storage for a bit... can't wait t to get it going again - thanks for sharing

Just did my first flight and followed your guidance to the letter. It was AWESOME! As you said, the T is a sheep in wolf's clothing. It was so stable and predictable and the inaugural video of Boston in autumn was absolutely stunning. This drone is amazing! Thank for your help, Captain!!

I've had my Typhoon at least a month,and haven't tried it as yet. Tour video is excellent. Thank You. I'm 74 yrs old and this Drone looks scary

You should be a teacher. Your explanations are so easy and well paced to take in.

Just got the typhoon h this week such a stable flyer even in gusty conditions. Iam just loving it the camera is excellent I would throughly recommend it tbh.

Hello Captain Drone, I went out and flew my drone for the first time this afternoon and it was a blast. All I did was take it to a school parking lot and tried it out. I just wanted to get the hang of controlling the drone. What an easy drone to fly. I have never flown one before so I was a little apprehensive until I got it up and running and into the air. Wow I am amazed how responsive this drone is and how easy it is to fly. I recorded some video of the flight but school parking lots and videos of the football fields and tops of buildings aren't very interesting, but I had fun reviewing the videos of the flight. My thanks to you for your helpful tips on how to get ready for my first flight. Happy flying!

Thank you Capt. Drone. Just did my first "square dance" with the Typhoon and all my props are intact! I followed your video recommendations and switch settings and had a wonderful flight. My wife did two trips around the pattern with two full stop landings. We have never flown R/C before. Thanks for putting in the time and offering quality instruction. Exhausted the last battery two hours ago and we are still giggling.

63 year old drone pilot solo’d today! Thank you for your instruction.

Great video to get me started with my FREE Typhoon H. A neighbor gave it to me. I have to replace a broken camera mount, but it came with 3 batts and the backpack + a ton of printed documentation. Haven't got the 2 parts to repair the camera yet, should have both by Sat. Looks like a great rig, just hope I can fly it, lol. Thanks.

Glad I stumbled upon this. I just bought the Typhoon H Pro and it turned up with Polish Instructions :) Great Vid, very clear and concise.

Just bought this drone and instead of taking a course, I'm going to follow your videos.. Thanks so much for spending your time for us to learn...

Fun to watch this again. My first drone was the Yuneec Q500 then the typhoonH + now have DJI Mavic 2 pro. Very happy now with the Mavic. Been watching you for years. Your channel is doing well.

Love your videos and how much time you spend on keeping your information viable. You seem to work very hard to keep your information relevant and I greatly appreciate your dedication to the industry!!! Thanks a bunch for all your direction! 👍👍👍

Great instructional video. Just bought Typhoon H today. Looking forward to hours of fun

Great job!! Just got mine 2 weeks ago. I moved from Windsor to Houston to get away from the snow. Now I got transferred to Pittsburgh, can't win. I knew a canuck could make this simple.

I have purchased the Yuneec Typhoon H and it is AWESOME! Have not had any problems accept I had to re-calibrate the compass on it. Definitely great for beginners of how still this thing sits in the air! The gimbal is very officiant and holds very well in the speed of the aircraft

Steve I just ordered a Typhoon H. Next one is going to be a Mavic 2 pro. Thank you for all the knowledge you share in your videos. 🤗

Great video man I happy there's someone on RU-vid who gives honest reviews on this drone and doesn't hate on it so much

Thank you very much for a clear step by step guide to flying the Typhoon H for the first time, something I intend to do within the 3 weeks or so. I've had the Typhoon H a while now so off to watch your video on firmware updates and get that done now. Your video has given me a real confidence boost!

Boy your videos have come a LONG way since these early videos were shot...!

Great Job,! Real organized teaching valued teaching, I have been teaching for 56 years! great job on your teaching video

I just recently got a remote ID module for my typhoon h along with some props and a battery. Haven't flown her in over 2 years. Wish me luck!

I know this is older , but my brother is going to be nice enough,to give me his drone TH..to use just need batteries,so thks to my bro…love ya..

Those are really nice... on my 2020 list for purchase, hope a longer lasting battery happens by then. Thanks for the video even though I'm watching it today.

Hi Captain Drone, Thanks for your excellent video for beginners. I was originally planning a Solo until I noticed things were getting flaky about 9 months ago. So after a lot of research, I came across the Yuneec Typhoon H and decided after consuming way to many hours on RU-vid that it was the way to go. I ordered it from the US at the end of January and was a bit nervous about flying it until I found your great tutorials. This morning I flew it for the first time after following your calibration video and was amazed how stable it is and how easy it is to fly. My first footage is pretty good thanks to a Freewell ND/CPL filter. I just need to get more confident to move to manual camera settings to clean up the noise in the blacks. Again thanks! Keep up the great videos.

Thank you, very helpful! Mine will arrive tomorrow, the version with Intel Realsense. Great that it flies well in these cold conditions.

Thanks for the tutorial! I just bought the Typhoon H. I feel a lot better flying it now.

Many thanks for your time and the clear and simple explanation sir. Appreciate it .

Thank you so much ...i just bought this same drone 1 day ago and I'm totally new ...as in never ever done this before so you have to know I'm terrified to even take it out the box....but I can't wait to actually fly it after I'm sure I've learned enough , Thank you for your very informative video...ive subscribed to your channel to get all the knowledge you are giving...once again thank you!

muchas gracias me a servido bastante este video!!! tengo 2 meses con el y en el primer intento la cámara se me desprendió, apenas a 2 pies del suelo!!! haorá ya lo tengo reparado!!! pero no me é atrevido a volarlo, viendo este video ya me a dado confianza de hacerlo!!! gracias!!!

Great video, I have had mine for a month or so, and have flown it but it's winter here and no flying till spring or so. great to see a video like this if nothing else for a refresher. I watched your videos for updates too really helpful.

Thanks for the confidence builder, my H arrived yesterday (yay) can't wait to fly :)

Just my first drone "Typhoon H" Just got it today !!! Thank you for this most helpful video

Really great tutorial, Not only did i just order my typhoon h, I just subscribed to your channel, keep up the good work and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.

Great video! I may want to purchase this drone, based on watching your typhoon h videos!

I really enjoyed that beginner bid. Thank you for the instructions

great video! flew a q500 for about a year and then a q500 4k for about 6 months and didn't feel like it was quite what i needed but the more advanced options at the time were 3,000 dollars or more so I got into FPV racing, ended up selling my fpv quad, transmitter goggles and all and was able to put 50% down on one of these and the other half credit lol but I am so glad to be back into shooting videos. Just got mine today! great video thanks for posting it!

Thank you Sir ! your video stand way above the rest. I just got mine in June 7, 2017

You are a very good instructor. Thank you so much. Looking forward to all your vids. BTW, I have the Typhoon H , I love it and Your right it’s easy to fly for a beginner.

Thank you for the video. This has made me much more comfortable about my first flight. The ground station is very intimidating to me. Want to learn more from you so hopefully you have more videos. Subscribed now. Thanks again!

great video again the basic video that must be watched by all new YUNEEC pilots :)

Great video captain, i know the start up time is quite long but a great way to do some pre flight checks. I also use the UAV pilot sim conected to my 55inch 4k tv for practise when the weather is to bad to fly. Keep up the great work, i hope you will review the ty plus.

Wow, what a great video! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and providing the step by step. I'm taking the plunge and this video inspired a lot of confidence. Good piloting to you!

That was an awesome first start video. Good work my friend!

Outstanding Video, complete and easily understandable. Thanks for posting this!

You really need to use a preflight check list on this drone, I would anyway. Thanks!

I'm buying this Drone. Love it

There's only three things you need to worry about The takeoff the flight and the landing... nice

Great video my friend! I actually fly DJI drones and don't own a Yuneec but have always been curious about this drone and your video made me feel like I was exploring the bird and RC myself. Nice job and attention to details. I will check out your channel some more.

Very helpful video. Cheers

I just bought one on Ebay that I plan to use for my business. I did a lot of research and this one seems the easiest to fly.

Very nice video thank you

Very nice video ;-) thumbs up!!!!

Just received the Typhoon H+ with intel realsense , my question is - will the typhoon with the landing gear in the up position, if for some dumb reason(first drone with retractable landing gear) i forgot to put the landing gear down when landing-will the typhoon not land or give a warning, or just crash on the camera?

Your a great teacher

Hi Captain Drone, Thank you for this easily understandable video. I'll hope you keep posting more like this.

Great beginners first flight, thanks

Great job with the video! Just got mine today.

Hi Captain, any idea when you will give us a video on the H plus? Thanks, always enjoy your videos.

Thanks for this cold and cool vid CD! I loved it. Ok, now it is end of august 2018, after the presentation of the new DJI topdrones, Zoom and Hasselblad. Looking at the specs of this Typhoon H and the price I must say that this Typhoon is still a fantastic drone. Ok, the new Mavics have good options, but this drone is well build and still a very interesting proposition. Now well, I have a Spark, muuuuch smaller than this Typhoon. But when I want a really amazing drone this one will be on my list. Sure!

VERY well explained. Thank you!

You are a very good teacher!

You are a superb drone introducer and explainer for any manufacturer, but I would hope new drone enthusiasts would consider the bad reviews before looking at your reviews because once you purchase, you are stuck with the problems that you experience so your drone sits on the shelf, or you spend more money trying to fix an unresolved problem from the past. I won't mention any product names but there are issues out there and it is too much money to learn on the fly, do your homework first!

I would strongly recommend removing the camera before doing the compass calibration, to avoid undue stress on the gimbal motors. It snaps right off in a second or two, and slips right back on when you're done. Happy flying!

I bought the Typhoon (i don't know which model it is....how do you tell?) about 1 year ago. I promptly crashed it, and after #$700 of repair, I have it back. Of course, now I'm scared to death the fly it. I enjoyed this video, and just wondered if you have a follow on? I'm a professional Real Estate Photographer in Tampa, Fl, and many of my customers want some drone shots, so I need to be able to do this. The feature that intrigued me when I bought it is the function that lets you set way points and then just tell it to go ........it should go to the waypoint, let me take a picture, and move to the next, etc. Seems like a waste after I got it. It was immediately obvious that the battery spent during the process of setting waypoints was useless. I could have just flown to the waypoints, taken my shots, and been done. I do want to see other videos about flying it and actually using the features (like using the magic want, circle about a point, etc) would be very useful. I can find a lot of videos but they seem to be unboxing and useless stuff like that. What do you recommend?

Captain Drone. Just ordered the Typhoon H today. Thanks for the video. Hope if I have questions you can give tips Thanks again.

Wondering how do I install updates for typhoon h.didnt see link at end of video like you said in your video sir

I like watching ur old vids and seeing how u don’t have all ur drones on display since u don’t have them yet

Thanks very much your videos are brilliant

had two typhoon h drones neither would bind w/contrller. what am I doing wrong.

good vid sir. just ordered my 1st drone..

Can you fly the typhoon H drone with no camera

Wow !!! That's awesome fella than you very much for the instruction.

You awesome guy! You rest my mind at ease with this video. I'm going to require a drone for work soon. I inspect rooftops and do home inspections. I'm just doing my homework on what I need to acquire 107, registration, license etc. (commercial use) so I have some work to do. I liked the Typhoon because of the stability and thermal camera available. (looks like a plug and play) Any other suggestions on a selection of drone and thermal cameras? I'm just keeping it easy and reasonable and see what the demands are till I get a little more into it. Great videos my friend and keep sharing. Your friend from Arkansas!

Close to 3 years old this video is, however, still excellent information. Would love to see you make a Yuneec Typhoon H plus video (getting started) . I am not sure if you would do the commercial Yuneec H520. Any who, I check your channel most days for new video. Blessings to you, and yours ...

EXCELLENT

I would go for the Typhoon H over the Mavic Pro since it has it's own viewing screen and hence, allowing me to use my cell phone for what it is. A cell phone!!!

Is the display 4k resolution??

Great video; thank you very much.

thanks

Good tutorial. Thanks !

Do you recommend taking on line drone pilot course versus available free study info prior to the FAA test? Great video. Do you have another on actually shooting phots and video with the Typhoon H?

i actually gotten 4 bad typhoons 2 bad q500 4ks and 2 bad typhoons H480s total garbage when i checked the data, they were all from early 2016 . the typhoon H480 i have now is from LATE 2017 and now its amazing

Nicely done! Thanks!

Gday mate do you have a tutorial video to do software updates on the Typhoon H have a good one

Just curious why you stated about the avoidance switch, that you recommend to do your 1st flight with it off? I am new to this typhoon , high caliber, drones. But that just sounds backwards to me. I am saying this because I crashed mine into the gutter of the house. I hit the follow me program and it went straight back away from me and hit the house. Would avoidance on have made this not happen?

Thanks for a great video. Just passed my 107 and now ready to learn to fly my Typhoon H. Two questions. 1. Where to buy batteries and 2. Is there a written flight check list available? Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!

I recalibrated the camera and now everything is fine. I had started the drone earlier this week with the cover on...oops. Thank you for the response

Thank you for the video very helpful 👏🏻

Super cool video, my complements !!

what is the range??

Oh Hello there! Thank you for the link CAPTAIN DRONE!

I love my Yuneec H Pro!! After having 2 Phantom 4's crack around all motors I decided to buy the Typhoon H Pro. I like it more than my P4's. Don't get me wrong, I love the P4's too but the cheap plastic they are made with is junk. I hate the term "what not". :)

Thanks for this great video!

So, I have a TYphoon H, and wanted to give it a "first flight". This video seemed pretty exhaustive, so I was ready to go. However, before actually turning the thing loose in the wide open sky, I decided to moor the thing, and test it first. So, I laid down some bags of 22 ammo on the landing gear, and powered it up. Sure enough, the blades start at idle speed. Then I gave it just one tiny nudge up on the left joystick. And it jumped up in RPM. Then it jumped up again, and again.... It seems as if it were at FULL speed, and was seriously looking like it wanted to break it's moorings and be loose in my office with me. (Did I mention that I did this test indoors?) I frantically pushed the left joystick DOWN and it did resume idle speed, but not immediately. I am now wondering, if I do this outdoors, without any restraint, if I give it one simple nudge on the left joystick, is it going to shoot straight up into the sky and be gone? Serious question.

Any idea where I can get the little knobs that are on the bottom of the prop arms. I have lost one of these protective caps. GREAT video by the way, grea as a refresher and new owners.

The main issue for the stuttering in videos is the speed of the storage device it's connected to. I have a very powerful PC (4790k and GTX 1080) and the video stutters when on a USB Stick or my hard drive but when its on one of my SSDs no such stuttering occurs.

I assume that the references to LEFT and RIGHT refer to the Canadian left and right??? :-) Just binge-watching H videos, prior to playing with mine... Weather isn't fit for flying, but at least I want to make sure it works!

Would you agree that the Typhoon H with Realsense; a free backpack, 2 batteries and the ST-16 & at a Best Buy price of $999 is the best drone for pilots that don't need to fly in the clouds or 4 miles away?

Does anybody have any updates on the Typhoon H and if the company is still in business and selling them?
