Yes, Yuneec does. I have two steady grips that work with all five of my CGO3+ cameras. I have the LiPo battery version (with the silver base) and the 8-AA battery version (with the black base). I have read that the 6-AA version (which also has a black base) does not work with the CGO3+, so stay away from that one.
The LiPo version of the steady grip is a dream with a long running time. The 8-AA version however has a very short running time of about 15-minutes or so, due to the heavy drain on the AA batteries, but it still works. I use it as a backup to the LiPo version. I bought the LiPo model from Vertigo Drones several months ago, and I bought the 8-AA model on eBay.
Hope that info helps.

Just one moment. I will go into my office and see if they have model numbers on them...

The LiPo model just says "Model: Typhoon ActionCam" and the 8-AA battery model says "Model: CGO Steadygrip for Typhoon." There are no model numbers on them.
ParagonDrone,
As a Typhoon H owner, this is awesome news! I found a good deal on the LiPo version but without battery.
Can you tell me the specs for the battery so I can order one from Venom? Thanks so much!

Hi, I just saw your message you sent to my inbox. The battery kai_bcn posted is the same one I have in my LiPo ActionGrip.
These grips are sweet if you can get them at a good price.
8AA version can be easily convert to LiPo version by changing connection and remove box for batteries.
I have 8AA version, tested 2 times and planing to convert it to LiPo
There are some video on YouTube:

If you can locate a lithium ion of near correct voltage and dimension it would be a better choice than a lipo. You can leave a li-on fully charged indefinitely. That cannot be done with a lipo.
Can anyone confirm that the SteadyGrip that takes the 8 batteries will support the CGO3+?? I realize the ActionGrip LIPO one is better but a lot more expensive.
Have you seen this one for $49.95 (without battery or charger) new on ebay.

You must be sure you are getting the latest version of the SteadyGrip that has the integrated contacts for the gimbal. Earlier versions of the Grip do NOT have integrated contacts and a cable harness is required to power and operate the earlier camera/gimbal GCO2 CGO3.
The GCO3+ has no port for the gimbal cable to plug into so it relies solely on the integrated contacts in the later model Grip.
I do no believe there is any model number on the Grips to ID one from the another, you must look for the contacts to be sure you get the right Grip.

I can confirm the 8-battery version with the 3-electrical contacts will work with the CGO3+. I have that SteadyGrip and it works with all of my CGO3+ cameras.
eBay links no longer work on the forum for some reason. However I did find the one you purchased. An identical listing says it does not work with the CGO3+. I would guess you can sell it, however.

Hmm, I went with the what ParagonDrone said above, but perhaps there were multiple LiPo versions with silver bases. In any case I've canceled my order with the ebay seller as the SteadyGrip hadn't shipped yet.
I'd still like to know for certain because I think this is a cool second use for the CG03+ for capturing our sons' flag football game action!

I would suggest going with a LiPo version if you can find it at a good price, since the 8-AA battery version burns through batteries rather quickly. I only get about about 10 - 15 minutes (depending on use) out of a set of AA batteries.
