In 2014, Yuneec introduced the world’s first ready-to-fly, out-of-the-box drone. The Typhoon Q500 quadcopter featured a 1080p camera (60 FPS), a 3 Axis gimbal and 5.8GHz long distance real-time digital video link. The Typhoon Q500 has the world’s first Smart Transmitter (the “ST-10 series Ground Station”) combining a 2.4GHz radio control transmitter with a 5.8GHz Digital video link along with a built-in Android touch screen, creating an easy-to-fly platform perfect for video capture.
In 2015, Yuneec has improved on the Typhoon by adding a 4k camera version, introducing a Steady Grip that turns the Typhoon into an “Air and Ground Imaging Solution”, and creating innovate features like WatchMe, making it even easier to capture the perfect video.
In 2016, Yuneec released the Typhoon H which is capable of flight durations of up to 25 minutes while filming with the CGO3+ 4K UHD camera.
