I honestly loved how easy it was to get familiar with the Q500. The fact that you can also buy a full kit with an aluminum case and extra batteries makes it seem like the best all-you-really-need drone package out there. It's not only easy to fly thanks t

The editors didn't like
I missed the jerky little DJI Phantom at times. While I appreciated the flexible range of speeds offered by Yuneec's ST10+ ground control
I wanted the handling to be a little bit sharper at times. This feeling was emboldened by my test of the Blade drone
Big
Heavy and slow. What makes it great for beginners makes it less great for those used to the nimbleness of other drones. The range is limited compared to similarly specced models from other manufacturers
Lens is blurry at edges of frame
Automatic white balance can be inconsistent
Larger than comparable drones
Battery charger can get very hot
Camera gimbal is slow to adjust
Bulky case isn't easy to tote
The Typhoon Q500 4K's size isn't travel-friendly. There's no support for waypoint navigation. The overall design could use some polish. Video quality is good
But best viewed at small sizes on tablets and phones
Controller is overly complicated
Video is a little noisy
Structural stability can use some work after the frame cracked due to a 10′ fall
Carrying case requires everything to be put back perfectly or else it won't close
Abstract: Until recently, aerial photography (and videography) was an expensive proposition requiring helicopters or airplanes. Thanks to inexpensive drones this is no longer true, and it's not surprising that so many photographers have discovered drone photography...

Abstract: I've been flying Yuneec's Q500 Typhoon 4K quadcopter for several months. It is the total package from what you want and expect from a drone for the serious consumer. I'm a huge fan and all-aboard the Yuneec train.I was introduced to Yuneec in April 2015 a...
Abstract: A drone is a drone, is a drone, right? Wrong! No drone appears to have such a quick learning curve as the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K. It is not your run of the mill $50.00 RC helicopter with a little camera. This is nothing short of being a high tech, top of...

Great design, Awesome remote control with built-in tablet, 4K UHD video and 12 MP photos, Lots of accessories included, Excellent price, Solid flyer, Easy to learn and flip switch to return home

If you want a really awesome drone package with lots of accessories and extras for a great price, then the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 is a superb deal. It's also a great flyer and manages some very good footage. It easy to fly and returns home by simply flippin...
I had a blast reviewing the Typhoon Q500 4K drone. It's great for beginner levels of drone enthusiasts. It's an easy drone to learn with (if I can learn, anyone can), you get more than decent 4K camera, and 2 batteries to work with. If you don't want...
