Expert review by : Damien McFerran (techradar.com)
Great image quality at a decent price – just don't crash it.
Excellent performance ; ST10+ controller is one of the best ; 4K video recording is superb
Bodywork is largely plastic ; Battery stamina is average ; Batteries take ages to charge
It may be cheaper than the competition, and lack that premium feel, but the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K has talent where it counts. Its 4K video capture is excellent, while the bundled ST10+ Personal Ground Station controller scores over its rivals thanks...

Thanks to its modular design and bundled handgrip, Yuneec's smooth-flying Typhoon Q500 4K quadcopter can capture nice aerial photos and videos and handheld shake-free shots.
The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K offers smooth, stable flight for grabbing photos and video from the air as well as the ground with its included handgrip. All-in-one controller with first-person-view screen and camera controls. Comes with two batteries, two...
The Typhoon Q500 4K's size isn't travel-friendly. There's no support for waypoint navigation. The overall design could use some polish. Video quality is good, but best viewed at small sizes on tablets and phones.
Thanks to some useful accessories and a solid feature set, the smooth-flying, easy-to-use Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K quadcopter is a compelling package for video and photos in the sky or on the ground.

The Yuneec Q500+ Typhoon 4K Quadcopter drone has a handy return-to-home feature, but our full review reveals our independent and expert verdict on whether this is the drone that's really worth buying. Our tests cover flight performance, battery life,...

Incredibly responsive controls ; Built-in 4K-capable camera shoots gorgeous video ; Smart modes making flying a breeze ; Strong, durable body
Long battery charge time ; Expensive
After spending roughly three weeks pushing the Q500 to its limits, we just couldn’t get enough of this impressive quadcopter. Put simply, it has just about everything you look for in a drone. With smart controls designed to ease the learning curve for...

The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K drone offers a lot of features for the price, but its video quality can be disappointing.
Expert review by : Scott Gilbertson (wired.com)
When it comes to consumer-level drones, one model rules the skies. DJI's Phantom drone, the Phantom 3 in particular, is the flying machine of choice for professional videographers, drone enthusiasts, and increasingly, mass-market consumers.
Easy to fly even for those who've never laid eyes on a drone before. Quick and easy setup. Controller includes a nice, if a little small, Android display---no need for phones or battery-draining mobile apps. Price is right
Big, heavy and slow. What makes it great for beginners makes it less great for those used to the nimbleness of other drones. The range is limited compared to similarly specced models from other manufacturers
I can recommend it, especially if you’re shopping for your first drone, or just one that’s easy to fly and has a capable, high-resolution camera. The slowness, range, and other faults are things that probably won’t bother you until you become more...

In the world of small consumer market aerial drones with photo/video capability, the competition is steadily heating up and some awesome newcomers to the market have arrived on the scene on a regular basis for the last couple of years. One of these is...
Great design ; Awesome remote control with built-in tablet ; 4K UHD video and 12 MP photos ; Lots of accessories included ; Excellent price ; Solid flyer ; Easy to learn and flip switch to return home
Slightly less agile than the Phantom 3 from DJI ; Slightly lower flight time ; Heavy battery
If you want a really awesome drone package with lots of accessories and extras for a great price, then the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 is a superb deal. It’s also a great flyer and manages some very good footage. It easy to fly and returns home by simply...
