Sorry, didn't realize I had tagged along in someone else’s thread. Chalk it up to me being a novice, and a newbie! 
You guys rock! We will talk again soon…hopefully.

"Got all the way to number 39!"Can I get a whoop whoop!
"Then the camera would not bind."
There are a lot of steps between Step 39, where you are just starting to bind the drone, Step 72, where you select the camera prior starting the camera bind, Step 80 where you start to bind the selected camera, and Step 99, where video should appear on screen.
Again, at what exact step did the process not match the expected result, and what did you see at that step.
"The model # showed under “Model”.
I think you are reporting success for Step 48. That is related to the drone bind. That is good, but it is not related to the camera bind. In fact, it is well before you have even started the camera bind sequence. Again, I may be confused. Without the step number, I have to guess at what step you are talking about.
"The GPS blue light is now on.."
I'm pretty sure you are just updating the status of the check at Step 5. And that is good to know. But since it was mentioned in the same sentence as waiting for the camera bind, I just want to be sure you are aware it is not related to camera bind.
One of the other members pointed out via PM that review of the normal binding process via a video might be appropriate. This is a pretty good video. The only weakness I noticed was that there is no mention of ensuring the new model is actually "selected" after it is created (at about 1 minute into the video). If other models are present, just tap the new one to ensure the model is surrounded by a blue border/box.
This is a screenshot of the blue box at about 1 minute:

Tried to fly drone today—couldn’t get props to spin? Realized controller battery was low. Charged it fully. Then sat down and went through the binding sequence again. This time I made it to step #80. The camera isn’t binding, no indicator lights on camera either, and I swear the motors LED lights were yellow?
"Realized controller battery was low."
I think you had recently charged the battery. If the battery was low again that quickly, it is likely the battery is bad and will need to be replaced. Bad batteries often charge to full voltage, but go dead again too quickly to be useful.
There may be an SD card in a slot under the ST10 battery. If the SD card is there, please copy the flight logs from it and post them to the forum. If no card is present, install one to gather the flight logs at the next attempt.
"This time I made it to step #80."
Step 80 is not a verification step. It is an action step that says press the bind button. I assume you pressed the button and moved on to at least Step 81? At what step did the system not match the expected result, and what did you see at that step. Please understand we are not looking for the last step that worked. We are looking for the first step that did not work, and we need to know what happened at that step.
Possibly related; Was "the camera ID displayed in white letters" when verified at Step 42?
"no indicator lights on camera either"
Is the camera connected to the drone via a cable running to a connector near the landing gear?
Does the camera stabilize straight and level when the drone is powered up?
Does the camera tilt up and down when you operate the control slider on the left of the controller? (The "tilt" (pitch) is part of the drone bind, not part of the camera bind.)
"I swear the motors LED lights were yellow?"
When in the normal "Angle Mode" flight mode, the LED color is a sick looking green that borders on yellow. It's probably not an issue but you can connect the Chroma to the Chroma GUI using a data capable USB cord to look at the condition of the drone itself.

Did you review the video in Post #23 above?
I am def lacking in knowledge when it comes to terminology. I will start over and pay better attention then report back. Thanks for your time.
Okay, I get to #42 and do not see a camera ID under the orange words “not connected”. I do see the model ID in white letters under the orange words “not connected”
That gets us as far as knowing either camera WiFi is not sending or the Controller WiFi is not receiving. I am trying to see if it is a power problem with the camera, a WiFi problem with the camera, or something else.
To figure out which, I will repeat the related questions from above:
1.) Is the camera connected to the drone via a cable running to a connector near the landing gear?
2.) Does the camera stabilize straight and level when the drone is powered up?
3.) Does the camera tilt up and down when you operate the control slider on the left of the controller? (The "tilt" (pitch) is part of the drone bind, not part of the camera bind.)
Just flew my drone! Apparently there is something wrong with the camera. But the darn thing lifted off. Need to tweak a little bit. It was steadily making
Good Afternoon! There is a wire coming out of the camera that connects by the landing gear. No, I noticed that the camera is cockeyed all of the time and it doesn’t respond at all and no indicator lights are present either.
Just flew my drone! Apparently there is something wrong with the camera. But the darn thing lifted off. Need to tweak a little bit. It was steadily making a rightward lean! I can make that adjustment later. I had no clue how much power this thing has!
