Yuneec Typhoon Wizard GPS Flight Controller

(With waterproof arm band holder)

The Typhoon Wizard is an ultra-lightweight remote control that will revolutionize the way multicopters are flown. The ultra-lightweight and compact Typhoon Wizard allows users to pilot their Typhoon multicopter with the use of only one hand, making it even easier to capture life’s memories from a bird’s-eye view. Users will benefit from the convenience and portability of the included water-resistant carrying strap, which allows hands-free navigation. For additional convenience, the Typhoon Wizard is compatible with the entire Typhoon series of drones.

The Yuneec Typhoon Wizard is a small remote controller for Yuneec drones, not much larger than a television remote control. It’s perfect for those times when you want your drone to follow you around, but we don’t recommend it as a full-on replacement for the large ST10+ controller that ships with Q500 models. Its range is a bit too limited, and there’s no way to view telemetry data.

Design
In addition to the Q500 drones, the Wizard can also be used with other models controlled via the ST-10+, including the Blade Chroma with CGO3 4K Camera. It fits comfortably in the hand, measuring just 5.5 by 1.5 by 1 inches (HWD) and weighing in at just 2.5 ounces. It has a belt clip built into its design, and ships with a waterproof pouch that will keep it safe when you’re on your surfboard, but don’t take it snorkeling: If the remote is submerged it will lose connection with the drone, and the pouch is designed to survive splashes and short submersions only.
