Yuneec Typhoon G GoPro Quad Copter - The Gadget Guru's Easy Setup Guide

[@JeffSibelius]

You'll save Yuneec tech support and many new owners a lot of time with this video. Very helpful.

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+Jeff Sibelius Thanks Jeff. I wasn't initially planning on producing this video, but I had some issues with the initial setup and once I found the answers from Yuneec Tech Support, I thought this could save new owners some time in getting the Typhoon G up and in the air.

+Jeff Sibelius this video was great! Thank you

[@devauntewhite3483]

This guy has got to have one of the top best personality's. Tbh thats why im watching most of the video,

[@gregkatic1847]

Yuneec is lucky to have you! NO wait we are!!! Great job!

[@StephenBotos]

Excellent Andy! I too couldn't figure out how to get the GoPro into the gimbal! I wish the instructions Yuneec provided were much more clear.

[@daverudkin87]

thanks for the great video. As a first time copter owner, this helped me so much.

[@MrCrazyCyprus]

Andy your videos are really good. You are a good presenter.

[@TheGadgetGuru]

[@kevinlowe6467]

Great video. Well done.

[@shoualvang9450]

thank you for your wonderful video and that help a lot....

[@jasecee8992]

Hi Andy, I am ordering my Yuneec Q500 tomorrow morning. I am also ordering another spare 5400mAh battery from a seperate supplier. Can you let me know the dimensions of the battery please? Reason for this, is that I want to buy seperate LiPO protection bags, rather than having one big bag. Or - is it fine to have multiple bats in the same bag for safety purposes? What's your thoughts? Thanks

[@kyqx]

Thanks. How can no mention of the gimbal lock get by Yuneec? !

[@valentinrohe1094]

nice video you helped me thanks! but the video link for the unboxing is a private link...

[@Raptor50aus]

I wonder who will forget to connect the 5.8Ghz antenna and fry the Video tx should be able to use video goggles too with 5.8ghz video I have a Gopro 4 black sitting doing nothing so this is a great option as a quad. Yes shame the capture is not controlled from the transmitter but coming from a Phantom 2 I'm not fussed and I like the fact the video tx is included and osd too Was considering the 3DR Solo but I have not been impressed with the jello shaky video I have seen and gimbal problems.

[@mikepapadatos521]

Question My gimbal is lifeless on the drone and on the hand grip no power coming, what do you think the problem may be. yes i tried the small cable to by pass but no luck. can you help me? thank you mike

[@bradydog10]

Hi why is it when I turn on go pro video its filming then start the typhoon g the videostops recording , any help would be grateful , thanks in advance ,john

[@paulmcmahon1774]

hi very good videos ,I was wondering if you know if there is a camera thats compatible with the Typhoon G other than the gopro cameras ? any help on this would be help full in me making a choose as to what drone to buy ,thanks

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+Paul McMahon The Typhoon G gimbal is designed to fit the GoPro Hero 4 series. But, before you buy, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHXJZKOQfLyCp8k

[@Embalados]

hey there, i purcharsed one of these and im unable to synchronize with the gopro. Do the LEDS from the FPV MK58 light on when its transmitting? Can you take a picture of it? thank you.

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+One in The Box I'll recommend that you contact Yuneec Tech Support with this question. 844 898 6332

[@84peterjay]

excelente... Gracias!!

[@steve-and-drones]

?? what is the TF-card slot for on the MK58 on the typhoon G

[@jeryart]

Hello Andy could you please tell me where you got the info about this Q500 G including a case and extra battery for $899. I ask because I just this q500 G at my local store yesterday and it is 899 but no case and no extra battery? ???

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+jeryart I think you're referring to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4iWhZdtoqZsn8k . Simply stated, that was the info I was initially provided at the trade show. As soon as the error was realized, I was notified and the correction on the video was made. In the video in this post, you'll not see this error. I attempt to do my best to deliver the facts as best as possible.

[@jeryart]

+Videos By Andy No problem Andy, I was just really hoping that was true cause that would make it absolutely the best deal out there. Thank you for your response and for your videos, they are great.

[@Jabadilla]

+jeryart they had a sale around thanksgiving i got my typhoon for $699. The $699 price was every where from Amazon to the electronic stores in my area.

[@alexborghiphotography]

very good thank

[@geraldharper330]

Can you use any of the SJCAMS ?

[@jasecee8992]

+Dustoff I called YuneecUK and the Tech Support said..."Um... emm... I don't really know if the SJCAM is compatable or not. I've come to the conclusion, that it's not compatable. The SJCAM is slightly bigger, and the Gimble is designed for the GoPro, and it's a tight fit. If since your post, you've figured it out then cool, let me know. I did notice that the SJCAM has a clamp style device, but it won't be compatable with the Gimble. So if you get the clamp device to fit, it will be a solid steady fixed position. I've managed to ge a hold of a Refurbished GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition for 175 quid from a GoPro supplier. Let me know how things went.

[@geraldharper330]

Thanks for info....went ahead and got the Q500 with 4k ....really love the Q500 glad I did not get the DJI... Happy flying..and thanks again.

[@588ta]

How do you have any subscribers?

[@jasecee8992]

Lol good video!

[@jamielee25]

Terrible choice of color on the controller! Anything but plain black..... I first got interrestyed in the Typhoon, cuz the Euneek color of the controller.. WHITE is BEST...it looks PRO !!! and what happened to the travel case ??????

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+Jamie Lee Personally, the color of the controller doesn't bother me as much as the color of the gimbal lock! In terms of the travel case, I'll guess it was a cost cutting measure to get this package to retail for less than $900. Yup, it's $899.99. The good news is that the case can be purchased separately. However, if you're considering this copter, you may want to watch this video before you buy as it included my personal opinion of the Typhoon G vs the Q500 4K: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHXJZKOQfLyCp8k

[@jamielee25]

Videos By Andy Thank you I will. Meanwhile though, if you get to talk to anyone at yuneec who makes decisions like these.. say marketing, or even the president... would you let them know that a lots of love the white transmitter.. but aside from cosmetic issues, we would really love a "G" model that will work with ANY camera.. similar to Go Pro.. and a set up that will work with goggle... may be a wire connection from transmitter to goggle.

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

if those steps stumped you,, maybe you should not be in control of an aircraft that can hurt you,, seems any reasonable person could have figured all this out

[@jasecee8992]

+South West Florida Aerial Well, most folks just open the box, and well.... attempt to fly it out of the box. I thought his info was useful. Saves folks having to read lol

[@adorephoto]

Why the HELL would anyone get this if you can't control capture? YUNEEC really dropped the ball on this...extremely disappointed.

[@TheGadgetGuru]

+adorephoto While I don't work for Yuneec, I would guess the purpose of this copter is to go after the market of those who already own a GoPro camera.

[@bigdz83]
