Had major issues with the camera continually disconnecting. Mainly when I connected to the camera through the app, it would drop the wifi on the camera and then you would hear the fan shut off in the camera. Wierdist thing, I replaced the batteries in the steady grip with NiMH recargables, it now works every time. Doesn't seem to make sense but it worked, give it a try! p.s. the batteries I was putting in we're new Energizers. . .
★★★★★
this is an update. I soldered on a new wire for a 3s battery and now it works perectly. the AA batteries don't provide enough power. I noticed in my Wi-Fi I got an rssi of 9 and after the mod I got an rssi of 30. So the closer the rssi is to 100 the stronger the connection.
★★★★★
Working fine with the Galaxy 9 and as for Yuneec and DJI which i own both,
more happy with my q500 and my typhoon with realsense the ground station
and 360° panning is superior to the phantoms with the HPlus out and the
upgraded camera, superior to any dji and nope not a robot, dji are boy toys
yuneecs you find more professionals using the hex 480 520 and the 9 one
motor fails on your phantom its byby the h will fly with one motor out.
★★☆☆☆
App doesn't work for my drone at all with my android phone. But apples app work perfectly..
★★☆☆☆
This is the worst app. My phone (Google pixel 2 xl) can connect to cgo3 internet but when I actually open the app to use the steady grip with my phone it says network error and will not work. Since I have had the steady grip I have been unable to use it.
★★☆☆☆
This App is now a complete fail. I've updated my screen from a Samsung S7 running Android 7 to a Huawei M5 Lite 8 running Android 9. While the App still runs on my old Samsung when I start the App on my Mediapad it claims my Cgo3 camera is an unknown device and the App crashes, even though it shows everything correct in my Network settings. A 3rd party App, Typhoon Camera, connects fine but lacks the Pro settings. Please Yuneec, don't drop us legacy users.
