Yuneec’s Typhoon H Plus
At the CES 2018, for those of you that haven’t already heart, Yuneec announced three new drones that they plan on releasing in 2018. While all three of their drones are quite interesting, right now, I would like to talk about the Typhoon H Plus, which is a follow up to the Typhoon H that came out two years ago.

About the Typhoon H Plus
The Typhoon H Plus is aimed at professional videographers and photographers. This drone produces 40 percent less noise than the first generation (Typhoon H) and has a larger six-rotor hex airframe. At the CES, Yuneec claimed that this drone was capable of flying in winds that are up to 30mph, which to me is quite impressive.

Features
• Optimized design for improved cooling and shielded core areas
• New flight controller that is based on PX4 – integrated failsafe and backup
• High efficiency and quite flight operation
• Includes flight modes: Point of Interest, Orbit Me, Follow Me, Return Home, Curve Cable Cam, Journey Mode
• 5-Rotor Motor
• RealSense Technology

Camera
The Typhoon H Plus’s camera is amazing. It has a one-inch 20-megapize sensor and a “high-aperture” lens. It has the capabilities to shoot 4K video at 60 FPS. So yes, if you enjoy taking pictures, the Typhoon H Plus is the type of drone you need.
I can’t find any details on the aperture, so I’m not exactly sure what the aperture is. However, the lens has a focal length that is equivalent to a 23mm lens. The shutter speeds are between 4-1/8000sec and the ISO range runs from 100 to 6400.

RealSense Technology
Yuneec made sure they protected this drone with RealSense technology – this is for collision avoidance and detection.

Controller
The controller that comes with this drone is based on Android and it has a 6-inch 720p display.

Flight Time and Speed
The Typhoon H has a flight time of up to 25 minutes, which is much better than most of the other drones on the market (many of them only run for 6 minutes).
As far as the speed goes, it is capable of reaching speeds of a little over 30 miles per hour.
It consists of six large rotors, so you can expect a stable flight as long as winds don’t go over 30mph.

Flight Modes:
Curve Cable Cam – This feature allows the user to program an invisible flight route for the Typhoon H. The drone will fly between the coordinates you pre-set, and control the camera position independently.
Return Home – This is a feature that I always look for on drones. With the return home feature, you can rest with the satisfaction of knowing that the drone will land within 8 m of you.
Journey – In this mode, the Typhoon H can automatically go up and out. It can go as far as 90m and capture an amazing aerial selfie.
Follow Me/ Watch Me – When you have this mode on, the drone will move along with you. With the Watch Me mode, it’ll follow you and make sure to point the camera at you.
Orbit Me – This is another interesting mode. In this mode, it will fly a circular path around you and keep the camera pointed on you the entire time.
Point of Interest – With this mode, you will need to choose a subject and the Typhoon H Plus will orbit around it autonomously.

Conclusion
The Typhoon H Plus has been set to be released to the general public during the first half of 2018, so hopefully we don’t have that much longer to wait for it. The price tag is a little under $1800, but from everything I have already learned about it, the price is well worth it, especially if you’re a professional photographer that has been looking for a drone that is capable of taking professional pictures and video from the air.

Autel Evo
Were you able to make it to the CES in Las Vegas this year? If not, you missed out on viewing some pretty cool gadgets that are set to come out. While I love everything to do with technology, my favorite section is always the drone area. There were many cool drones being announced this year, like the DJI Tello, UVify Oori and the Yuneec Firebird FPV. However, today, I am here to talk about the Autel Evo, which is something I believe you’re going to want to pay attention to, especially if you enjoyed the DJI Mavic Pro.

About the Autel Evo
The Autel Evo is a foldable, portable drone that is similar in appearance to the Mavic Pro and I honestly believe that this drone right here may have the Mavic Pro fearing for its spot.

Battery Life
The EVO has a battery life of up to 30 minutes on a single charge, which is decent, because many of the drones I have dealt with offer a battery life of around 6 minutes. The recharge on this drone will take a little over an hour, which is also pretty good.

Speeds
The Autel Evo is capable of reaching speeds of up to 65 feet per second, while the drone itself is capable of remaining in range from the pilot for about 4.2 miles.

Intelligent Flight Modes
The drone has some pretty useful flight modes, including GPS and object tracking. It also offers the ability to be able to preset waypoint mission coordinates and flight patterns that are designed for 3D mapping tasks.

4K
I understand that 4K is common, so that is to be expected, but it can capture a higher-resolution of video at 60 frames per second, which isn’t as common. The camera has been mounted on a three-axis gimbal, which means you will be able to make steadier shots. The camera utilized computer vision so that the unmanned vehicle can stray away from obstacles. The infrared sensor that is built onto it adds even more crash-prevention technology.

Battery Life
The Autel Evo offers a total of 30 minutes worth of flight time on one charge. However, as usual, if you wish to have even more flight time, you could always bring along an extra battery pack.

Operating Distance
This drone offers an operating distance of 4.2 miles, which is really good for a drone.

Controlling the Drone
This drone can be controlled with the Autel Explorer App, which is available on both Android and iOS. If you don’t want to use the app, you can use a controller – the controller has a nice 3.3 inch OLED screen. The screen uses 720p resolution in order to show the drones viewpoint.

Conclusion
In my opinion, the EVO is a close competitor to the Mavic Pro as it offers another nice compact option. Looking at the specs, the Mavic Pro has similar specs, but the frame rate is faster and the battery life is a little bit longer. At the time of writing this review on the Autel Evo, there hasn’t been a launch date yet, but it is set to come out some time in 2018, and will be around $1,000, which in my opinion, the drone is well worth the price due to all of the nice features. So, if you’re looking for a nice drone that is capable of suiting your needs, I highly recommend waiting around for this one to come out, because I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this one.

AEE Selfly
At the CES in Las Vegas this year, I found a lot of amazing gadgets that I can’t wait to get my hands on. However, for me, what really stole the show was all of the different drones that are set to come out sometime in 2018. I’m talking about new drones by DJI, PowerVision, and all of those popular drone companies. However, today, I’m not hear to talk about a drone by DJI or PowerVision, my focus is on something a little bit different – the AEE Selfly.

About the Aee Selfly
The AEE Selfly is a phone case that is capable of turning into a drone. That sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? You’re probably wondering if it flies while the phone is inside the case (that’s what I wondered when I first discovered it). The answer to that is “no,” and obviously, that’s the best answer because I wouldn’t feel safe flying the drone with my precious phone sitting inside of the case, regardless of how protected the phone is. The way I look at it, when the battery runs out, that’s not going to be a good thing, even if the phone is inside of the case.

Battery Life
Speaking in the battery running out while the drone is flying, the batter life is only 4 minutes. Unfortunately, the battery has been built in, so there’s no swapping it out with another set of batteries in order to continue flying. This means once the batteries have died, you will have to stop what you’re doing and charge it using a Micro-USB.

Measurement
The case and drone together will be around 2.5 ounces, which is really good. It is 0.4 inches thick, which isn’t exactly slim, but looking at it, it is still small enough to be able to shove in your pocket.
What’s neat is the company actually has specific cases for the iPhone 6/6 Plus, iphone 7/7 plus, Galaxy 7/7 Edge, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge and the Nexus 6. If you don’t have one of these phones, don’t worry, because there’s also going to be a nice universal folio phone case that will be capable of fitting all 4 to 7 inch phones.

Noise
When it comes to small drones like this, from my experience, I noticed that they have a tendency to be a bit on the noisy side. The Selfly is a bit noisy, so it isn’t something you’d want to fly around during a wedding or something along those lives.

Controlled by Phone
When a drone can be controlled by a phone, I really like it. With this drone, of course you can control it with your phone, or it wouldn’t be called a selfie drone. There’s an app that places onscreen control sticks along with auto piloting options so that you can get good camera shots. According to the CEO and founder, Dr. Hagay Klein, they plan on making an open source platform as well so that others will be able to develop for it.

Conclusion
The Selfly is set to be available sometime during 2018 and is set at a price of $130 – this price includes the batteries as well. All in all, I believe the Selfly is a really good selfie drone that is capable of doing everything you need to do. I do wish the battery life was longer than four minutes, but if you think about it, four minutes should be more than enough time to take all of the selfies you need. I would recommend this to any selfie fanatic as it does a great job at capturing pictures.
