  The Typhoon H is considered an upgrade to the DJI Phantom 3 and 4 and Spreading Wings model line as well as the DJI Inspire Pro and is designed specifically for aerial photography and cinematography.
  An upgraded version of the Typhoon H that includes a vision based collision avoidance system called 'Intel RealSense' was demonstrated at the CES 2016 trade show.
  A key reason why the Typhoon H has been successful in the aerial cinematography world and is often preferred to models like DJI's Phantom and Inspire, is because of the built in Android Tablet to the 2.4ghz transmitter. This provides built in telemetry and direct camera streaming. The drone is also known for its unusually high camera quality out of the box which companies such as DJI have lacked. Although the range on the Typhoon H is not as far as the DJI Phantom lineup, many professional cinematographers have said they prefer the low latency transmission  which DJI does not offer. Both drones do operate with full control well beyond eyesight.
  Yuneec is now employing Mike McConville, a very famous and long time employee of Horizon Hobby. He is a world famous radio control pilot who is decorated with many awards and accomplishments in the radio control hobby. McConville is one of the first people to use and develop 2.4ghz radio bandwidth in RC technology. He is responsible for the creation of many RC models and drones. He is currently a senior employee at Yuneec International.
  Yuneec announced on 1/9/2018 a big brother to the Typhoon H called the Typhoon H Plus. It will be the same design as the original, but with an improved camera, larger frame, and longer flight times.
