SD cards are a common cause of this problem. Even if the card works fine in other devices.
I would start by trying a different SD card in the camera.

Smaller cards work better. Fat32 format works for cards up to 32 Gigabytes. Cards marked with "3" inside a "U" are needed for higher resolution photo/video.

This post by @DoomMeister shows the card requirements:

Video fault

Hi everyone. First of all, if this issue has been addressed by someone previously, please forgive me and point me to the thread. I have done a search but can't find the specific issue. I have a second hand Yuneec, with the CGO camera. All standard. The camera takes stills ok, and says it is...

If the card is not the problem, let us know.

Are you referring to the CGO app for Android or the CGO3 app for iOS?

For both apps you need to connect the device running the app to the WiFi AP of the camera. Go to the WiFi settings, select the SSID, and enter the password (1234567890). For the CGO3 camera the SSID will be CGO3_xxxxxx where the x’s are last 6 digits of the camera’s MAC address. For the CGO3+ camera the SSID will be CGO3P_xxxxxx.

If you are connected and still experiencing these issues then it could be the SD card as suggested by @WTFDproject. If you are using the Android version of the app you may need to try one of the older versions of the apk. You can find them on the APKPure website.

Thank you Guys!!
I tried another SD card so it worked, then I gave a low format to the original one and it worked as well. Thanks a lot

CGO3/3+ can use up to a 128GB SD card.

If you use a 64GB or 128GB card format it as exFAT.

If you use a 16GB or 32GB card use FAT32 formatting.
