Chad, I use Typhoons in my business. Since purchasing a Mavic 2 Pro, they do not get near the flight time as they used to. Typically I’ll deploy the H+ in winds that are unsuitable to the Mavic 2 Pro. I’ve flown the H+ in winds of 25+mph and gusts over 30. It’s working hard and battery only lasts 8 mins or so, but it gets the job done. Personally I prefer the Mavic 2 Pro as it’s much easier to deploy. Has a smaller, less noticeable footprint, and the Occusync communication makes the wi-fi of the H+ laughable. Both my Typhoons are great aircraft and can get the job done.
At this point I would advise you to avoid Yuneec. Whatever you do, do not base your business on any Yuneec aircraft. You can add to your fleet, but do not base operations on them. Yes, parts and batteries are becoming hard to find, expensive when you do, and likely used, or “new old stock” that’s been sitting for 2+ years. Getting service and parts is a very, very poor state right now and there’s no indication it will get better.
Yuneec, as a company, seems to be circling the drain. Nothing but broken promises, unfulfilled requests, resellers left hanging and in one case, out of business. Their latest answer to improvement requests and upgrades to the H+ was not a firmware update....but the release of the H3....you want these upgrades? Buy the $2600 H3. Even this aircraft has been pushed back, hard to find, and in some cases birds are DOA for the unfortunate ones who foolishly spent the money. They seem to have abandoned the US market as only European vendors get any attention, and even this is beginning to wane.
BUY A SOLID PLATFORM. I’d recommend:
1. A well equipped I2/X5s system, with batteries, Crystalsky and lenses.
or
2. Mavic 2 Pro
or
3. Phantom 4 Pro
NOW, with all that being said, do this:
1. Get your 107.
2. Setup your business.
3. Get some jobs. If you actually do, then save your earnings for a better aircraft system.
The H+ you have should be okay starting out. It’s certainly capable of taking great images and video. You need to make sure the business is going to work, you’re going to get jobs, and actually make money before you go out investing in expensive systems. As your business grows, use that income to invest in additional systems. You’ll be better educated on what you NEED to buy to grow your business....not what you WANT to buy or that others, who don’t know your situation, recommend that you buy.....
