Yuneec H520E Commercial Hexacopter Details

Professional-grade hexacopter for commercial use, ideal for aerial photography and videography applications.

The Yuneec H520E Commercial Hexacopter features a 3-axis gimbal, continuous rotation, and up to 28 minutes of flight. It has hot-swappable cameras, retractable landing gear, and an integrated 7" touch screen. The DataPilot mission planner allows remote camera settings. OFDM radio provides extended range.

Designed for industrial use and ambitious professionals, the Yuneec H520E features six-rotor systems for stable flight, long focal-length lenses for greater distance, and data storage shareable from the STI6S/E Ground Station or delivered in 4K video or 20 Mp still images.

The Yuneec H520E Commercial Hexacopter offers reliable, stable and precise flight even in high-wind environments, allowing it to hold position and fly safely where manned inspection would be unsafe.

No data transfer occurs. The HSZOE Hexacopter directly communicates with STI6S/E remote control, keeping flight data, images, videos, and logfiles private, without forwarding to external servers, ensuring optimal data protection.

HS520E hexacopter features orbit flight capabilities for precise aerial photography and surveillance applications

Hot-swappable payload options: All of our HS-600 cameras are hot-swap capable on our sUAS platforms, allowing for significant time savings through not requiring a power-down/restart of the system. This also allows for consistency in data storage.

The ST16S/E All-in-One Controller is a comprehensive transmitter and receiver that provides full control over the H520E during flight, allowing users to capture high-quality photos and video. The 7-inch integrated screen displays real-time footage, eliminating the need for an external device.

The Team Mode Functionality allows independent control of copter and camera via two remote systems, enabling the pilot to maintain drone control while the camera operator focuses on the camera. This collaboration facilitates creative imaging and provides a valuable tool for film producers, fire departments, inspectors, and other commercial users.

Yuneec DataPilot software enables efficient updates and consistent performance. Check the app version and download/install updates as needed. The app auto-generates survey paths with user-defined front/sidelap and cross-hatching for precision 3D or large format image output. Store missions/flights for later recall/reflight or plan off-site flights.

- HDMI signal directly from the ST16E to output the drone’s live image onto larger monitors

Added Security

The Yuneec H520E was developed around demands for safety and functionality. The 6-rotor system allows for a safe and stable flight by ensuring that the H520E can continue to fly safely even if a rotor fails. The built-in ultrasonic sensors allow the H520E to detect obstacles and avoid collisions, while the battery issues warnings when the voltage is too low and changes to a fail-safe function if necessary. In addition, the H520E comes equipped with a redundant control signal, a return home and a geo fence function, which ensures that the drone does not move beyond a radius specified by the user.

Updated DataPilot2.0 System

The Yuneec DataPilot™ is a comprehensive software solution for planning waypoint and survey missions. DataPilot™ is fully integrated into the hardware and software of the H520E and enables users to efficiently and consistently get the information they need. Using DataPilot™, you can collect the data needed to create orthomaps, 3D scans, crop data imagery, in the field or on the desktop for repeatable, recallable aerial flight paths. The DataPilot™ software also allows for storage of maps from many map providers for access in areas with no connectivity, and provides tools for precise way-point placement even in areas where no updated maps are available.

*Photogrammetry software is needed to process data and build 2D and 3D models.

Secure Your Data

The Yuneec H520E has been developed as a closed system, its technical design prevents communication with third party servers. Communication only takes place between the drone, the payload and the ST16E ground station controller. Log files are stored locally in the drone and are only required by Yuneec for service purposes in the event of a guarantee. There is no involuntary data transfer to servers. Neither flight data nor images, videos or log files are forwarded to external servers and remain in your possession. Thus, your data is optimally protected.

ST16E Ground Station Controller

The Android-based ST16E ground station controller is equipped with a fast Intel quad-core processor and OFDM support. Thanks to the OFDM support, the live image transmission can be expanded up to 1.7 miles. The integrated 7 inch display with touchscreen ensures precise and intuitive operation of the Yuneec H520E and shows all flight information as well as the live image from the camera. The live image can also be transferred to a larger monitor via the HDMI output of the ST16E.

Versatile Payload Options with new X-Connector

Thanks to its multiple load options, the Yuneec H520E can be easily adapted to different areas of application. Replace sensors in a matter of seconds, downtime is minimized and productivity is improved. This means that one gimbal camera combination can be exchanged for another without power cycling the airframe.

Law Enforcement:

The Yuneec H520E is perfect for accident scene reconstruction, crime scene mapping, as an “eye in the sky” for crowd control, intelligence gathering, or monitoring targeted areas. The Yuneec H520E empowers Law Enforcement officers to quickly record an accident scene in 2D or 3D, for later assembly of data for court appearances, reporting, or archiving. Camera systems with embedded GPS data enables evidence gathering to be captured and examined before fire investigators or first-responders have entered the area.

Inspections:

Vertical structures can be inspected safely and efficiently with the precise flight behavior of the H520E. Long focal lengths allow users to fly further back from the object being viewed, without compromising image quality or depth. DataPilot™ can store missions that require weekly or monthly re-flight for purposes of comparison, failure evaluation, or deterioration studies. The safety improvement and cost reduction with sUAS inspection are staggering in comparison.

Search and Rescue:

The Yuneec H520E enhances safety at a contaminated scene, speeds rescue and recovery. Firefighters appreciate the ability to “see” through smoke and rapidly identify hot spots using thermal imaging, and the ability to gain a birds-eye view of operations on a large scene. In addition, the drone can be used for scouting the route ahead for obstacles, finding victims, photographing remote crash sites, terrain mapping, crash site monitoring or for improving communication.

Site Mapping:

Pre-construction survey, topographical measurements, and project progress - The Yuneec H520E is designed to fly repeatable, perfect-placement flight over construction sites, providing not only measurable and demonstrable project data, but also helping to identify shrink points, at-risk areas, or security breach points. Autonomous flight allows for repeated flights that may be layered to determine changes in the work site and provide comparisons over time.
