Aerial Imaging Solution For GoPro Enthusiasts
Yuneec has launched a new Typhoon model specifically targeted at GoPro users.
The Typhoon G is the newest member of the Typhoon family designed to provide smooth and stable aerial footage for the crisp GoPro camera. In addition, the Typhoon G continues to deliver Yuneec's standard of being ready, easy and safe for consumers everywhere.
The Typhoon G has several smart features that ensure safety and ease of use, which consumers have come to expect from the Typhoon series. Features such as Geo-Fencing, Speed Control, Dynamic Return to Home, Follow Me and Watch Me are built into the Typhoon G system.
"We believe the Typhoon G will be the aerial and ground imaging solution of choice for GoPro enthusiasts because it provides the most stable imaging available," said Tian Yu, CEO of Yuneec USA.
The new GB203 3-axis self-stabilizing gimbal is designed especially for the GoPro Hero3 and above. It can be mounted on the Typhoon multicopter and on the SteadyGrip ground handle - a device that ensures ground shots are as smooth as those taken from the air. While flying the Typhoon G, real-time image transmission is achieved with the included MK58 digital video downlink module and can be viewed on the ST10+ ground station. The SteadyGrip uses up to a 6.4-inch mobile device as a display, and features camera pitch control for precise camera angle control on-the-go.
A word of caution. Some gimbals for GoPro require adaptation for use with similar-style cameras. We don't know if the Yuneec gimbal is among them, but it's something to confirm if you don't have a camera actually built by GoPro, and there are several similar-style cameras on the market.
Typhoon G is made for the GoPro user, and comes ready-to-fly in a color box with a ST10+ ground station, a handheld SteadyGrip for stable ground footage, one battery and a smart charger for the suggested retail price of $999.99.
