GoPro Hero2 and Wifi Remote

**Redback** · 20th September 2012, 08:20 AM

Well 2 weeks ago I purchased a new GoPro Hero2 and Wifi remote, it works really well, love not having to get out of the car to turn it on and off.

Here's some new footage from last weekend on the Pipeline track at Newnes

For instructions on how the update the firmware properly, go to the forum link below so you can use your remote, lots of additional info to help with the process, one thing I discovered is, don't use USB 3 ports or your update won't work and you'll have to do it again, it can be a right pain in the bum, so follow and read all the info before you start the process.

There is a lot more you can do using the remote, it's not only just for starting and stopping the camera, you can change the settings for the camera as well using the remote, the 2 bottons on the remote mimic the 2 bottons on the camera.

Also the Wifi and remote can be used on the older GoPro, there is an firmware update for them too.

AND if you didn't think these cameras are tough, watch this

Hey Redback,

Is the wifi a genuine kit .

Cheers

just a shame the contours picture is lacking IMHO...

I just got a HD hero2... finally, only got it cause it was cheap. Was waiting for the next installment from them, but figured I can grab a second cam when they arrive

I just bought the wifi combo to go on mine Baz.....

waiting for it to come in the post..bought it for the same reason getting in and out of the car..but also thought so many people are bringing gopros these day that it would be cool if we put them all on the one vehicle and then set them all off with the one remote.

as the remotes can control up to 50gopros

Got mine a few days ago, just wish it was available before we went away, now waiting on the iPhone app that should let you view what the camera is seeing live.

have you had a go with the latest (available) contour? I have a roam and it is fantastic... a new model was released a few weeks back, but it aint in the wild yet...

I have had my Go-Pro H2 for a year or so, I have only used it once, would love to know more about wi-fi here is my ordinary clip
