Product Description
Yuneec Breeze is the flying camera designed with you in mind. Capture aerial photos and video of your daily adventures effortlessly – and do it in stunning 4K Ultra High Definition with the option of 13 megapixel stills. Both convenient and compact, Breeze is controlled by your iOS or Android device with the Breeze Cam app.
Breeze can hold its position both indoors and outdoors, which makes it safe for any occasion. Breeze is equipped with Indoor Positioning Sensors (IPS) that use textures on the ground to hold its position. Breeze also has an infrared sensor that gives centimeter accuracy of altitude.
It was our vision to create a product that was incredibly easy for anyone to use, so we’ve custom designed 5 automated flight modes that give you the ability to focus on capturing the most epic content of yourself instead of controlling the drone:
Pilot: In Pilot mode you have the most control. Using the traditional two-stick R/C control method, you can fly the drone anywhere around you manually utilizing the Breeze Cam app.
Selfie: In Selfie mode anyone can position the drone even without prior flight experience. Use the distance, altitude, and position sliders to adjust the position of the drone.
Orbit: In Orbit mode you can easily task the Breeze to orbit around you or another object. After positioning the Breeze, you can select orbit left, right, or pause the orbit at any time.
Journey: In Journey mode the Breeze uses the Selfie mode interface for positioning the drone. The camera pitch determines the angle the drone will fly at, and you can adjust how far it goes.
Follow Me: In Follow Me mode you fly the Breeze manually to the location you want the drone to follow you from. After setting its position, the Breeze will react to your movements and follow along.
Once you’ve captured photos and videos with Breeze, downloading and sharing via your favorite social media is quick and easy. Select the photo or video you would like to share and choose which social network you would like to share to: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, WhatsApp, Google+, WeChat, etc. You can write a personalized message and share instantly, all without leaving the app interface. It’s that simple.

Now here's my advice since I received it and have flown it for a little bit.
1. Buy the controller! If you bought the one without the controller, get online and get it ordered. If you are looking at buying, go to walmart and buy the one off the shelf for 199 that includes the controller with one battery. When I was there looking at the unit I noticed that they are selling extra batteries at the store for $29.99! I bought an extra while I was there and have 3 now. I have since ordered the controller. The only reason I bought this one instead of in the store is I got a $200 amazon gift card.
2. Go to walmart and pickup extra batteries for $30 a piece! This is a really good deal and who knows how long it will last.
3. Spend some time watching the instructional videos online that people have done. The app is really feature rich but it can be a little confusing at first. It has some quirks but that's mostly with using your phone as a controller. There's just too much you are trying to manage on screen to have your thumbs in the way flying. The saving grace if you don't have the controller is that the unit is really stable and you can just stop and it'll just sit there in the air while you figure it out.
So here's some questions that I would've wanted answered before I purchased.
1. It's not that good indoors, especially without the controller. This is a catch 22 problem. It has image sensors that allow it to stay in place without gps. They work pretty well but with that being said. If you go flying over the couch or the table it will climb to the same height set at off the ground. So if you have it flying at 7' off the ground and you go over the table it will climb to 7' off the coffee table. That might send you into the ceiling. If you're not quick enough it will happen. I don't live in a very open house. 8' ceilings and furniture all over. This makes it hard to navigate without the controller.
2. Flying it from the phone is both fun and annoying all at the same time. If you're literally wanting to take a selfie or photo something, operating it from the phone is easy and good enough. If you are wanting to fly it around and play around with it, it's just ok. I have pretty good at flying from the phone but the problem is you can't tell where zero is. When you have a controller and the sticks snap back to center that gives your fingers bearing. When flying from the phone, you're looking at the quad (because you can't really see the fpv screen around your fingers) and moving your fingers around on the screen. What happens is you have to keep looking for zero/center so you can reset your fingers. So back to what I said about the controller. YOU WANT THE CONTROLLER! Trust me. I do like having the option to not have to use the controller but I don't like it being my only mode of function. You want both, each controlling functions (flying from phone or controller) have their place and will be equally handy.
3. The best way to transfer pictures/videos off the quad is to plug in the data cable to your computer and have the quad on. Quad comes up as a removable drive. Then you just select and drag.
4. Yes it's worth $200. I think you get a great value for the money at that price.
5. The quad is wifi but transmits at 5Ghz. A lot of people have been calling this a wifi problem. It's not a problem but has pros and cons. Pro, 5 Ghz has faster transmission speed so the video is pretty much real time. Con, The transmission range is not a far as it would be if it was 2.4 Ghz but in the app they geofence limit you to 80 meters up and 100 meters away. So for the most part that should be within the limits of 5Ghz. Most phones have 5Ghz wifi receivers but your better check your phone before you buy. If it cant transmit at 5Ghz they you're not flying. The other odd thing is that the controller connects with your phone via bluetooth. So like I said above. If you don't have a device that can transmit at 5Ghz then don't buy it.
6. While the range at 100 meters is well enough to have fun and photo/video stuff. I wish it was longer. This is another one of those catch 22 things. You never will get it to go passed because it's geofenced in the app. This is also not a bad thing as if you lose connection, it wont keep flying away. It will return to where it took off from. I've found that it will land within about 5' of it's take off point. This also keeps you from getting in trouble with it. If it had a mile range, I'd be flying it a mile out and technically that's illegal. You are supposed to keep it within line of sight. I still wish it was longer though LOL.
7. I'm still glad I bought it. It's so worth it. It will be a good drone to have for now. I'll be saving for a spark and a phantom ha! Those other drones are freaking amazing but expensive. This one will get me used to owning and flying before I go and blow a bunch of money on something that I'm not really sure I need or would use. This drone gives you the ability to get flying fairly professionally and figure out what you want to use it for without spending a boat load of money to find out that what you got doesn't work for what you really want to do.
In short. Buy it. You wont regret it at the price. It's a lot of fun. You can really turn out some good vids and pics and it's actually a pretty nice machine. Happy flying.
It came yesterday and I set it up. Then I looked for a manual - there was none (other than getting started). I come from the baby boomer age of computing in the 80s/90s. I am not a millennial who can just try it and learn as I go with a quick visual tutorial. I want to know things like what do all the blinking lights and colors mean. In the app's interface - what does each control mean. I expect for this product something like a 50 to 150 page manual. In my opinion people have different ways to learn things. Some like videos and quick on screen diagrams. I like to open a manual and read before I start. So with no manual and no user forum, I had to just go outside and try it.
I live in Houston city proper so we have typical neighborhoods with lines of houses (with trees in front) on both sides of the street.
I turned it on and picked the selfie mode since it was supposedly the easiest. I had no idea of what I need to do with the various controls and so I needed to experiment knowing I would be running out of battery quickly. I tried a couple of things and then hit the 'home' button on the lower left hand corner. All of a sudden it just kept going up - perhaps 50 to 100 feet. I frantically hit the LAND button on the lower right hand side and it landed luckily on the sidewalk and not on the street where cars were passing by.
OK, I said to myself, I am not quite sure what happened, so I tried "Follow Me" mode to see what those controls did. I made it go up a bit - perhaps 8 or 9 feet and then decided to land it so again I hit HOME in the lower left hand side and it again started going up but it moved over a bit, hit my small tree and came crashing down on the sidewalk.
That was the end of that - about 5 minutes of experimentation and the Breeze was destroyed. Looks like a crack in one of the plastic pieces, two connectors came out inside and one of the connector holders broke (i.e., the plastic came off). No way to fix it.
I called Amazon and since I purchased it from them directly, they were gracious enough to take it back broken and give me a full refund.
As a post mortem, I would suspect that either I hit the wrong button to go home or some setting (factory default) was incorrect. To make an interface more foolproof for a inexperienced flyer like me, they should have a large button with the text "LAND" which lands back where it started no matter what the settings are (which is what I thought I hit).
At this point, I am not going to try to figure out what went wrong - whether it was me or not - make no difference anymore.
I would not recommend this as low end product for the beginner/novice flyer. It is much too complicated for their intended demographic IMHO. Perhaps they should use a more protective body for us beginners like rubber instead of hard plastic though I am not sure if it would have fared much better for a fall from about 20 feet up.
(P.S. - in their defense, the first flight did give me an error message about not locking on to GPS. Not sure what chip they use - the older / cheap ones like what my dashcam uses take 3 or 4 minutes to lock. My car's GPS locks as soon as I turn it on).
I'm on to trying another totally different one which I have even further hopes for (though it is about $100 more). Should come in mid - December. [...]
