Anyone obtained or tried a C23 on a Typhoon H yet?
- Thread starter OnTheRopes
- Start date
Interesting, I spoke with Hobby Mounts and they told me it will work with the H, in fact their website says it will Yuneec C23 1" Sensor 20MP Camera / Gimbal for Yuneec Typhoon H I guess their info is not up to date.
there has been a lot of post about this.
there will be a C23 for H 480 in due time, after the publication of new firmware for the H to accomodate the new camera.
Thanks for the infothere has been a lot of post about this.

I'm hopeful the firmware will be available for the ST16 to allow the C23 to connect. That would allow the camera to be compatible with both the H and the H Plus. However, I am concerned Yuneec will offer a C23 with firmware which will only work with the H. So if you have an H and an H Plus you would need two cameras.
I can connect to the wifi of the C23 in Pad mode but not in Flight Mode.

Perhaps overly cautious, but a word of advice;
Do not allow history to repeat itself. Regardless of how well the C-23 camera performs on the H Plus, do not buy a C-23 hoping it will later work on an H-480 after a firmware upgrade. It was not that long ago some bought H-480 CGO-ET’s to use on their 580’s. That did not work out well. Let Yuneec first prove the C-23 to be backwards compatible before making a purchase decision.

Just FYI.... Yuneec UK lists 2 part numbers for the C23
C23 for Typhoon H Plus: YUNC23EU / C23 for Typhoon H: YUNTYHC23EU
C23 for Typhoon H Plus: YUNC23EU / C23 for Typhoon H: YUNTYHC23EU
Just spoke with Yuneec UK about the C23.
The first batch will be H plus only but the H version they hope to have in by the end of the month (I assume thats Yuneec China end of the month so probably February
)
Anyway the H version they believe will also work on the H920+ (subject to testing when they arrive) and obviously using the CGO3+ adaptor.
If this is indeed the case then I expect I will be tempted into purchasing one. Then just need the C23 with a longer focal length

Indeed here's hoping, the C23 at Hobbymounts is listed at £899 but as they are not yet in stock that could change.
I found a post from the dealer in Australia who says the C23 for the H is labeled C23H. In other words, the firmware is different so like the CGO-ET there will be two camera models that will not be interchangeable.
I tried the CGO-ET on the H Plus and the ST16 does not find the camera signal. I'm left wondering if the -ET for the 520 works with this model. In any case, I'm disappointed the -ET doesn't work, at least not yet.
