Drone Overview — Yuneec H520

The Yuneec H520 is a professional hexacopter built for commercial and industrial aerial imaging work. At its core is a 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor capable of capturing stills at 5472 x 3648 pixels in both JPEG and DNG (RAW) formats, giving operators flexibility in post-processing workflows. Video recording reaches 4K resolution with 10-bit in-camera color processing, and a broad frame rate selection spanning 24fps, 25fps, 30fps, 48fps, 50fps, 60fps, and up to 120fps covers everything from cinematic capture to slow-motion analysis.

Gimbal stabilization keeps footage steady throughout flight, complementing the 1-inch sensor's imaging capabilities. The ISO range runs from 100 to 12800, providing usable sensitivity across varied lighting conditions. The H520 ships with the ST16S ground station controller, which features a built-in 7.0-inch 720p LCD touchscreen, eliminating the need for a separate mobile device.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, USB, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and HDMI output. Storage is handled via microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards. The drone weighs 1633g, measures 520 x 455 x 295 mm, and is constructed from industrial-grade plastic and composite materials with dust-resistant protection.

The 4S 5250mAh 15.2V LiPo battery delivers approximately 25 to 28 minutes of flight time per charge.
