Visible light Camera E90X Yuneec’s E90X camera is a one-inch CMOS sensor to capture high quality images with 4k 10 bit in camera color processing. Images may be captured in formats of JPEG or DNG format, or simultaneous capture of both formats. Video may be recorded in UHD, 2K, or HD resolutions at a variety of frame rates.

Thermal imaging camera ETx/E10Tx/E10Tvx This series are innovative combination of 3-axis gimbals, thermal imaging camera and low-light camera. While the thermal imaging camera selectively measures the temperature in the image enabling it to display relative temperature differences, the low-light RGB camera has a 20 times higher sensitivity than the human eye and can still take excellent shots even in low light conditions.
Get more information on www.yuneec.com. SD CARD SELECTION Yuneec recommend using a SDXC Class 10 UHS-3 micro SD card for recording 4k video. Using the UHS-3 card allows the camera buffer to record to the micro SD card faster resulting in fewer buffers overrun.

Power ON/OFF Turn on the ST16E, and then press the power button on H520E/H520E-RTK. Release the button when the aircraft emits a rising tune. Power the ST16E before powering on the UAS. OFDM Module Re-bind The aircraft and ST16E Ground Station are already bound out of factory. There is no need to bind them.

Step 3: Tap the Unbind Confirm button to finish the unbind process. Step 4: Tap the OFDM logo on the top right corner again. Step 5: Power on the drone until see the dialog box shown below. Step 6 : After initialization completes, Use a paperclip or something like a needle to push the bind button inside the right hole of the OFDM module.

Step 7: Tap the Next button on the ST16E screen. Step 8: Waiting for connect finished.
Repeat this procedure for all six positions. If Compass calibration fails, ensure there are no electronic devices or metal objects within ten feet of the H520E/H520E-RTK. A yellow box with a red arrow indicates the current calibration. A green box indicates a completed position.

Mission Flight Mode To enter Mission planning mode, tap the Mission Route Setting icon[ ] on the top of the DataPilot™ home screen. The PLAN window will open, allowing users to create Waypoint and Survey missions, sync missions between desktop, ST16E, and the drone, store/recall missions, and Center a mission around a particular point on the ST16E screen.

Pattern Pattern is designed for mapping and 3D scanning of ground-based objects. Survey Mode Survey mode allows the Pilot to quickly place a survey grid over a desired area. To select a survey grid mission, tap the Pattern Icon in the Plan panel and select Survey function. This will place a green survey grid in the middle of the screen over the map.

Notice: As same as the Waypoint function there is also a Survey Setting Panel on the right side. Through this panel users can set all the Survey parameters. Drag the panel up and down to view more items. CORRIDOR SCANS Roadways, power lines, train tracks, footpaths, and other narrow winding areas may be set up as “corridor scans.”...

STRUCTURE SCANS A Structure Scan allows users to create a grid flight pattern that captures images over vertical surfaces (e.g. walls) around a structure with an arbitrary polygonal (or circular) ground footprint. Structure Scans may be combined with nadir/survey flights to better serve architects, engineers, and construction companies looking to create accurate 3D models, or output .las files to...

• Drag the opaque vertices on the map to the edge of the structure. • If the structure footprint is more than a simple square, click the semi-transparent circles between the vertices to create a new vertex. This allows for complex shapes such as the one seen above.
