Yuneec Typhoon H Pro

Six-rotor design. Freely rotating 4K video camera. Raw and JPG image capture. Retractable landing gear. Remote control with integrated display. Solid operating range. Intel RealSense obstacle avoidance. Supports dual-operator control.

Flight limited to 19 minutes. Obstacle avoidance system only works at low speeds. Controller is large and unwieldy. Battery life indicator is confusing to read. Spotty automatic white balance. Expensive.

Realsense technology gives confidence during return home flight. Some excellent features, and some great firmware updates adding more features.
