The camera is quick to set up, it just snaps onto the top of the battery using the two magnetic terminals, facing forwards or backwards.
Important: We always recommend learning to fly the Micro Drone 3.0 NEO first, building up your flying skills confidently before attempting to use the camera. Take time to become a skilled flyer without the camera attached - using the controls, smooth take-offs, stable hovering, controlled turns, hardzard avoidance and smooth landings.
Once you are good at flying, you're ready to attach the camera.
When the camera is attached, power on the drone and the Camera module will generate a WiFi network MDX_xxxx which you can connect your phone to.
Install the Micro Drone 3.0 NEO App
Important: Ensure it is the correct App, called Micro Drone Fly - other Apps are not compatiable.
Here are links to download the App:

Ensure all the phone permissions are enabled. Go to the phone's WiFi settings, connect to the Camera, open the App, select the device: Micro Drone 3.0 NEO, open the flight screen and the video feed should appear within a few seconds.
You can record footage directly to your phone or install a micro SD Card directly into the Camera module. Want to transfer footage from the SD card to your phone? We have a Smartphone dongle for iPhone and Android available here.
Troubleshooting:
If you can't see the video, try restarting the App (force shutdown of the App), open again.
If you still can't see the video, check the phone is connected to the WiFi network with a Tick.
Try using a different device.
You should be able to see a small red flashing light indicator inside the camera module case (towards the back of the camera near the SD card slot).
The Micro Drone 3.0 NEO Camera does not have any wires for attachig to the Drone (unlike the earlier 3.0 model), it snaps onto the top of the drone and uses two battery terminals from the magentic connectors.
