The C23/E90 cameras come fitted with the cover. The CGO3/CGO3+ cameras do not.

It will have to be sent somewhere for calibration.

You are correct, the gimbal boards on the GoPro and CGO3 are the exact same. The only difference is the software that is installed. If I ever got into a bind when repairing a CGO3 gimbal board, I could simply replace it with one from a GoPro gimbal. All that was needed was to erase all the...

If your steady grip has a contact plate with the three protruding brass contacts, it might power up a CGOET camera, as well as a C23. If it does power up, it will not tilt though. Some of the older steady grips don't have the contact plate. The steady grips were designed for the CGO3 camera and...

If you install a new gimbal board it will need the proper calibration which is not possible by the user. The part number for the gimbal board is YUNCGO3P120SVC and the cover, which also comes with the plastic ring around the gimbal board is YUNCGO3P121SVC.

The pins/clips are not necessary. I believe they are there to keep the two mounts from separating in the event of a minor accident. Most drone accidents are not minor and the mounts will separate regardless and damage the slip ring and possibly the mounting rails on the top mounting plate. I...

Google part number YUNCGO3P105. You might have better luck finding one with the part number.

If the LED on the front of the camera is not illuminating, that is a classic sign of a defective processor board. Another symptom is the MAC ID of the camera will not show up in the binding menu on the ground station. The gimbal board appears to be functioning since it is emitting a green LED as...

How many other techs did you see other than Russ? Is he the only one on staff?

If you look hard enough they should all be available. Some will be listed as a service part, but most of these parts can be replaced by the user. I will say some parts are much harder to find now, so if you do find one, it may cost more due to supply not keeping up with demand. Your main issue...

The ST12 is also compatible with the Typhoon H. A word to the wise through-do not update the firmware on the ST12 or it will render the extra controls useless if you did want to use it with a Typhoon H.

The wifi within the ST10+ could be at fault as well. It sounds like you are having range issues. In my experience it's usually the CGO3 camera the majority of the time.

Could be a range issue with the camera, possibly a bad wifi board. If the video is choppy, but the wifi signal is strong that could be a bad processor board.

Is the CGO3 camera itself tilting during flight?

They can be removed by using a small flat blade screwdriver. They’re fairly stout and robust and usually will only leak after a hard crash. Replacing them is easy as well. Each damper has what I call a fat end and a skinny end. The fat end goes into the mounting plate that is closer to the...
