Camera recording and connection issues
- Thread starter Smitty10122
- Start date
Please give some history on the system. How long you have owned it?
When was the last time it worked properly?
Did anything happen between them and now such as a crash, dropped, long storage period, etc?

Add: what kind of sd card are you using? Did you try to format a/o replace it?
I've a Chroma too, if sd card is damaged, too big, not properly formatted or not fast enough, that problem happens.
Also, I don't know the cause, if the battery of the ST10 is low below 50%, the distance of the video connection is reduced.
My Chroma (EU fw) maintains connection at a maximum distance of 250~260 mtrs, it seems that with US fw the distance is much increased.
I did a simple and easy to do mod to improve signal quality, you can see it here: ST10 long Range mod
Another advice is to switch off wifi connection on your mobile phone when flying.

Reading educates.
Is "Start video" / "Take photo" not possible even if WiFi connection still connected? I would try camera with CGO3 app with your mobile phone.

Just joined. Got an old second hand Chroma need to know if all Hero GoPros are compatable. The one I got came with a sports knock off and the plug does not match.

Found this today that may be helpful. Horizon Hobby Blade Chroma with ST10 and 3-Axis Gimbal for GoPro Hero Review
VERY warm welcome Christopher to the forum, hope that you will find this site very useful and helpful as a lot of us have in the past and to date , very smart and helpful people on it
Thank you for your welcome !
Was happy to win a bid on a GoPro 4 today so I might get this baby to fly . From all I found today the other GoPro's with higher resolution do not work with this drone. Just noticed the whole gamble can be removed and maybe a better camera installed. I was so excided to have received a GPS drone from a friend, since all my experiences have been not good to keep a drone stable while learning to fly and tale pic. Will attach a pic for you.

The CGo2, CGo2+ and the Chroma Version of CGo3 will all work on the Chroma. The CGo3 version for Q500 will also work but requires a pigtail adapter to plug it into the Chroma.
In case you see it elsewhere, be aware the CGo3+ camera will NOT work on the Chroma.
