For firmware 3.1.62. CamCandy controls your camera from the flight controller and displays camera information in your goggles.

1. Initial setup

• Use Ultra FC version B57 and newer.
• Enable MSP Protocol on the UART connected to CamCandy.
• Enable and position Custom Text Messages 1–4 in the FC OSD editor menu.
• Open the flight controller's CamCandy menu to configure the device.

2. Pair your camera

1. Select GO PRO or DJI OSMO under CAMERA.
2. Turn on your camera and enable its Bluetooth/app pairing mode.
3. Disconnect other camera controllers or phone apps. Keep other cameras off during pairing to avoid selecting the wrong one.
4. Select PAIR CAMERA. Accept any confirmation shown on the camera.
5. Wait for CAM READY and check the displayed camera information.

The pairing is saved. CamCandy reconnects automatically on later starts;

PAIR CAMERA replaces the saved camera for the selected brand. If pairing stalls, select it again to restart the search. UNPAIR CAMERA removes that brand's saved camera and clears its information from the OSD. DJI and GoPro pairings are saved separately.

3. Choose recording control

| Trigger | Operation | | --- | --- | | ARM State | Starts recording when armed; stops when disarmed. | | AUX Active / Follow | Starts when the selected AUX position becomes active; stops when it becomes inactive. | | AUX Toggle | Each move into the selected AUX position toggles recording. | | Manual | Use the camera's record button; CamCandy displays its information. |

For AUX control, select the channel and its LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH position. AUX Toggle waits for a switch transition; if already active at startup, move it inactive, then active.

Manual recording is also allowed in ARM and AUX Follow modes. Start recording on the camera while disarmed or AUX is off. It continues through takeoff and stops on the next disarm or AUX-off transition. While ARM/AUX Follow remains active, CamCandy keeps recording enabled, including after a reconnect.

Before takeoff, select a video-capable mode and confirm that the camera is recording. Landing alone does not stop recording; disarm or switch AUX Follow off.

4. Read the OSD

CamCandy shows camera status, recording time, video format, battery and free storage where supported. Unavailable data is omitted.

Example: 4K30 4:3 UW means 4K, 30 fps, 4:3 aspect ratio and ultra-wide lens.

• CAM READY: camera ready for control.
• REC: camera recording.
• NO SD!: no SD card detected on supported cameras; the warning blinks.
• RECORD REJECTED: camera refused the recording command; check its mode and storage.
• DISCONNECTED: camera link was lost.

If no camera is connected when you arm, CamCandy hides its OSD. Once a camera has been connected during that flight, later disconnects remain visible.

5. Optional settings and updates

• AUTO WAKE: wakes supported sleeping cameras. With it off, turn the camera on yourself. Support varies by camera; Action 2 Auto Wake is unavailable.
• BAT WARNING / STORAGE WARNING: choose warning thresholds, or OFF to disable.
• Firmware updates: use the FC updater with CamCandy-version.bin. The full USB image is for first installation on a new/erased device and must not be sent through MSP. Keep power connected until the update finishes. Normal MSP updates retain settings and pairings.
