Let's not confuse lightbridge.... It doesn't just allow longer distances, but stronger signal at the Typhoon H's range.
Flying a mile out with the P4 isn't close to maxing it out, which makes for a safer or at least 'less problematic' flight.
Most of here shouldn't get their panties too bunched up at lesser range, because most of already have a long range bird
Yuneec's Typhoon H isn't going to go as far, but there's a sizable part of the market that won't use the lightbridge
range, so it becomes moot to those folks. Having the 360* gimbal and 6 rotor redundancy are in themselves big sell
points. The "modular" design will allow upgrading the 'H' instead of getting a new bird every year.
With the price drop, I'm seriously considering the Typhoon H. Going to B-B-Q's and other outdoor functions would
be Typhoon H's niche... think about it... people are going to want to see it do its thing, and they can't when it's a mile
and a half away. Having an 'adequate' close range aerial photo platform won't be a bad thing. For the P4's intro
price of $1400, I should get (2) batteries for the 'H' for about the same price.
The "H" will bring me up to 4 UAVs, from palm size quad to hexcopter... At what point do I admit to having a problem?
