Hi, I need some help regarding binding my Q500 4K. I have followed the video as above but it stays in bind mode Flashing Blue. I can get to the flashing Yellow and bind
the transmitter successfully but the Q500 always comes back to flashing Blue. I am now lost. The camera binds ok and I get a picture on the transmitter and can also take videos
but the transmitter will not tilt the camera. I checked everything on the Q500 GUI program and everything checks out perfect. So I am now lost as to what I can do and
any help is much appreciated. Cheers, John

Do you see telemetry displayed on the ST10 such as battery voltage and satellite count?
Is the status light flashing slowly or rapidly. Once the Q is bound to the ST16 it will blink blue in Angle mode and green in Smart mode. Flip the mode switch and see if the light color changes.

Steve, I don't know if it's important but I replaced a ESC with #4 motor but it checks out perfect in Q500 GUI.
@Satellite View, You mentioned the new ESC on Motor #4 checked out good in the Q500 GUI, but did not mention if you had done the motor assignment. Q500 will sometimes seem to hold a memory of the last good check, then show an error if you do do a motor assignment.
If that is not the problem, then you need to identify the exact point in the bind sequence that is failing. There is a detailed bind sequence review in post 22 of https://yuneecpilots.com/threads/typhoon-q500-connection-issue.14625/page-2#post-160673. If you work through it carefully, it may reveal the exact part of the sequence that is failing. It might be worth a try if nothing else is working.
It would also be helpful to know the recent history of the Q500. Anything between the last time it successfully bound, and now. Maybe whatever led to the ESC replacement, maybe something else?

Hi, Your advice regarding the ESC assignment was correct and had to restart everything and then it came good, however I have fixed the
problem and pass this info on as it can easily happen to others. I took the top off again to investigate and check all wires and found the
problem it was a black wire snapped in half and happened when I pulled out the connection wires to plug in GUI and the Black wire
was shorter that the rest so it broke in have and soldered it back together and the quad is perfect binding no longer a problem so all good.
Thanks everyone for your help, appreciate it. regards, John

Did you follow the bind procedure in the manual? There is also the password for the camera: 1234567890
There are two different system to bind:
1) The RC connection 2.4GHz (ZigBee protocol). For this you need to bring the drone in bind mode. Lift the drone 2 times >45° to front. The status LED on the back should blink fast if bind mode is active.
2) Bind to the camera. This is a normal WiFi connection via SSID and password as usual for WiFi.
Which one is not working?

Yellow/Amber is normal for camera if there is no SD card in it.
Password is: 1234567890
This document is a step-by-step diagnostic for binding problems. Read the introduction and understand it does not work if you skip ANY steps, including the ones you are absolutely sure you can skip. When you reach a verification step that does not match what you see, do not continue. Post the step number and what you actually see back to this thread.

Unfortunately, neither of them works. I now have a blue flashing light. Tilting doesn't work. No response. I can't access the camera settings either.

@h.elsner opnieuw opgestart. rc zegt rc: connecting video wifi: connecting en het lampje knmippert weer groen
Translation by Moderator:
@h.elsner restarted. The remote control says “connecting video” and “connecting Wi-Fi,” and the light is flashing green again.

Ik hoop dat de onderstaande vertaling in ieder geval van nut is.
I hope the translation below is at least helpful.

I've since found another detailed step-by-step guide and got it working. I'm going to test it now. Thanks for your help.

Remove the camera before doing a test flight. Make sure the Q500 flies correctly and you can control it without crashing or causing damage when landing before you fly with the camera attached.
