    Perfect choice for my needs, amazing package
    Like 99% of people reading these reviews you are considering this vs. the Phantom 3 Professional. Honestly ask yourself what are you going to do with this anyway? If you are looking at it as a toy, these are not toys.I read reviews for months, watched about a hundred YouTube videos, and put my money down here. I am a photographer and I will tell you why for me this is the right choice, and maybe not the same choice for you. I am no fanboy- I could have gone with the Phantom 3 just as easy if it met my needs.1. This is a complete package, and it's put together well as a package. The included case beautiful. Two included batteries, big selling point. Two sets of rotors nice touch. The transmitter which already has the tablet like screen built in, major difference between the Phantom. I have an iPad so I could have easily gone Phantom. The included steady-cam grip, how cool is that! And it all packs up in that case. Sure the interior is styrofoam so what. I must have received the newest model as my styrofoam inner was grey, not white like I have seen previously, and also mine came with two BLACK batteries not white as shown in photos. Very nice package.2. I could have had this out of the box and charged and been flying in an hour. But I took my time and went through everything before even thinking about it. Again this is no toy. Charged the transmitter and battery, installed battery, and calibrated the gimbal and compass. Installed the SanDisk 64GB Extreme card I purchased to go with it. Checked all the settings- camera was defaulted to record 1080p which is fine- I don't have anything to watch 4K video on anyway.3. Up and flying literally within 5 minutes of going outside and powering on. Even in a 5mph wind and my first time flying (in the turtle mode), was up in the air. Easy and I mean easy to fly and rock solid stable hover even in wind. Took it up to 300 feet and just flew around shooting video to see how it performs. Landing rock stable very easy to fly.4. Put the memory card into the Mac, the video is absolutely beautiful and crisp. It's actually stunning how good it looks. Pictures came out equally sharp.So again what will you use this for? For me I will use this at relatively close range to shoot events and couples. For me, the adjustability of the speed is a plus. I want it to move in predictable ways and I'm not looking to run races with it. It is quiet, large, and easy to get the kinds of shots I will take with it. The other features such as look at me and follow me are great, just not what I purchased this for. You shouldn't be flying drones like this out of sight range anyway- so for people that want to bag on the wifi connectivity of the FPV screen for "only" going so many feet, you are likely the people I see in all of these Phantom videos going into the water or running into a tree. I don't need automated way-point flights where I can no longer see the bird in the air. I want to fly this myself and not rely on automation. Not once did my signal drop off or did I lose connectivity, didn't have an app crash, or have to purchase a new phone or iPad to make this work.Dollar for dollar- this package for my needs wins hands down. I have not had to use Yuneec customer service yet so I can't chime in on the Yuneec vs DJI service comparison. I can say I did explore the parts available to repair the Q500 myself something you can't easily do with a Phantom, and replacement parts for the Q500 are very inexpensive and readily available.Very happy with this purchase, and amazing how much fun this was to fly!* 1/13/2016 Update: When putting back in the case after my second flight, noticed a smudge on the camera filter. Took off the filter and tried to clean with a Nikon lens wipe- would not come clean, must be something in the coating of the lens. Emailed Yuneec customer service, got a personal reply back within 24 hours and they UPS me new part on the way. Very satisfied with the service, love the quadcopter.Also purchased this and makes all the difference flying at night in the dark:Safety Bike Light Set by Classic Glow - LED Bicycle Lights - Durable Aluminum LED Lights - Features 2 Front & 2 Rear Ultrabright Lights - Fits Bikes, Bicycle Helmets & Backpacks - Easy InstallationLED bike lights that I mounted on the quadcopter legs, with the white lights facing forward and the red rear. This way I can set the front lights to be solid on, and the rear lights to flash so that when I fly at night I know orientation wise what direction the drone is facing when it is up in the air. Works great and looks amazing- like you have searchlights mounted on the front- and with the lights mounted on the legs still fits in the factory case with the lights mounted, very cool.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015
    After analyzing and test flying many other quadcopter "drones", I finally decided on this Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K, and I couldn't be happier. This drone is large enough to be stable in a breeze, shoots great video, is very low maintenance, and its "smart" flight mode make it the easiest thing in the world to handle.

    In smart mode, the drone moves in relation to you, not necessarily in relation to the way the drone is pointing. In other words, when you tell it to go left, it goes to *your* left, even if the front of the drone is pointing off at an angle. This makes it really easy for a new operator to pick up and immediately get use out of the drone. I've handed my controller to six or seven people, without any training or explanation, and they've all been able to fly it right off the bat.

    Smart mode is also "follow me" mode, where you can move with the controller and the drone will automatically follow you. This is meant for people skateboard, biking, or otherwise doing something with movement they want to capture. I haven't been brave enough to take it on more than a brisk walk, but it did follow me exactly as advertised.

    Once you get more experienced, you can flip it into "angle" mode, where it flies according to the front of the drone like other drones. You can also start out in smart mode to get the drone where you want it in the air, and then switch to angle mode and use the live video feed to fly according to the camera. The drone also has a "return home" option, so if you've lost sight of it you can flip the switch and it will immediately fly to within a few feet of you and land. You can also flip it back into one of the other flight modes once you have it back near you. (Never fly a drone where you can't see it though.)

    This drone is a great deal. For the same price as most other drones, it comes with a second drone battery, case, and has live video display screen built directly into the controller. The controller and screen use the same battery, so there's only one device to charge outside of the drone batteries. Other drones require you to provide a smartphone or other tablet for the controller, which can add a lot to the cost, and is another item to have to carry, keep charged, and monitor the battery life for.

    The included 4K camera is wide-angle, but specifically designed to almost completely reduce the fish-eye effect you get on other drones, particularly drones that use a GoPro to record. It's also one less item you have to purchase, charge, and monitor separately. I don't have a 4K TV yet, so I set the camera to 1080 mode, and the video quality is noticeably superior to even the earlier Typhoon's native 1080 camera. (I'll upload a video example.)

    I did run into a problem where I didn't tighten one of the propellers well enough, and it came off when I was in the air, but I never noticed until I landed and went to put everything away. It flew with three propellers for at least ten minutes without anything more than a slight wobble, and the camera gimble is so good that you can't even tell on the video when the propeller came off. I used to be nervous about flying it over water, but after that I was a lot more confident about it staying in the air. (I'm also a lot more diligent about tightening the propellers.)

    Like other GPS-based drones, this drone positions itself by specific lat/lon. It will pick up at least a dozen GPS satellites, so when you tell it to go to a certain spot in the air, it will park there and stay. You can even push on it, and it will fight against you to stay where it should. I've flown in moderately gusty winds, 5-15 mph, and the drone will sit in the air at an angle against the wind to stay in it's spot. Even then, the camera and gimble makes the video level and rock steady.

    The only downside to this drone in comparison to other drones is that the controller video is not high-definition, and the video lags a second or two behind. It's still perfectly fine for flying the drone, and you'll get amazing video recorded on the microSD in the camera, but the the DJI Phantom or Inspire do win out on the quality of their controller video. With all the upsides to the Typhoon in comparison, I can live with a "good enough" controller display. .

    Of course drones as a technology are still in their infancy, and in five years all of today's drones will look like old Model-Ts, but if you're looking to spend serious money on a drone right now, this is the one.
