Wow, 240 views and not one single comment at all. Is the Q500 4K really that old and of no use to anyone? My 1st post was to see if any interest at all and then talk about money if any use to anyone. Seems Mini drones have bitten into the market in a big way, and the big boys are really out of...

Hi, I have a Q500 4K in the supplied carry case. It's had a couple of sessions hovering in my back garden. Never really flown it. I suppose it was an impulse buy at the time. 1 of the 2 batteries is a little bit puffy, but not too much. All as it came from Yuneec. Never crashed at all. CG03, all...

Thanks for the prompt reply. Certainly food for thought. At the moment they will slide in and out of the battery compartment with a gentle push, so they are time limited. I will have to get the cover off and see what options suit me best, (OK with a soldering iron). Having said that, the...

Hi... Your last paragraph is interesting. "I use normal (cheaper) LiPos in my Q500. It works fine. You have to be careful at each solder to be sure to get the polarity correct, including inserting the contacts in the correct place in the battery connector." Can you be more specific please. I...

Pointing very strongly towards European S21 Ultra with Exynos chipset, or Android 12, Yuneec Pilot app, and/or combination of all 3. Think we can kiss goodbye to any app updates from Yuneec as they seem not to be interested in low end consumer stuff now. Ah well, at least I have a solution in...

Thanks for your input and knowledge DoomMeister. I will keep comparing the 2 phones I have and if anything comes to light, I will share on here. So glad this resource is here. Thank you

No, I am using the cable from the Mantis Q kit... USB A to USB C. I have tried other cables also of the same format which I know are data compatible. I intend to look into "USB Debugging" on my phone to check the USB port characteristics as mentioned earlier. Everything points back to the S21...

Yes, tried airplane mode. Didn't appear to make any difference, apart from no calls etc. Never really looked into port priorities...just followed the set up and install for the app, agreeing to permissions etc.

Yeh, thats the company that charges more for delivery than the cost of the part. Made a quick DIY bracket to try and I think the IPad option is too top heavy to be used comfortably. Anyway, now sorted. Bit the bullet and ordered a refurbished Samsung S9+ phone purely for the Mantis controller...

Hi, I recently updated my Phone to a Galaxy S21 Ultra, and now suffer with the lack of live video feed. I have contacted Yuneec Europe, and have not got any response back yet. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting any. I contacted a UK supplier who told me Yuneec have pulled out of the...

What is the latest Pilot app version plse. I have 2.0.4 on my phone

Photoshop?? That looks like a heavy lead. Also, I've never seen a dog be happy that close to a noisy drone

Thanks. I ended up getting a scrap breeze charger and dismantled it to get the connector out. Works a treat. Mick

Thanks but off the clock price wise. £33 inc postage!! Find a cheap secondhand Breeze charger to take apart

18 plus 15 postage makes it an expensive lead. I had seen it, but it bothered due to expense. It was cheaper to find a second hand breeze charger to dismember. Thanks all the same
