All of you GoPro users might be interested in this.

The GoPro Wi-Fi BacPac Detachable LCD wireless remote kit is now available. This kit allows to you view your GoPro videos while they are recording, and to control your Hero by remote.

That is pretty nifty.

I got one of those, they are really good and help pin point your video space instead of guessing.

I'm definitely going to be adding one of these to my GoPro set up in the near future.

I have the LCD BacPac and I really like it. It lets you see what you're recording. Although my polarized sunglasses sometimes get in the way.

I really want the WiFi BacPac :link: . The link posted above is for the WiFi Bac-Pac and remote for $99, but if you're planning to use the GoPro App* on a smart phone or tablet you don't need the remote so you can just get the WiFi BacPac by itself and save $40.

*NOTE: A product update is REQUIRED before using your Wi-Fi BacPac or Remote. Click here :link: for a free update download. The original HD HERO is only compatible with the Wi-Fi Remote. The original HD HERO does not support the GoPro App, video + photo preview / playback, or live streaming. Live video streaming to the web is available for the HD HERO2 with a free future downloadable product update. Wireless internet connection required; additional fees may apply. The Wi-Fi Remote does not require a Wi-Fi network as it creates its own Wi-Fi network. Supports iOS 4 and Android OS 2.2 and newer devices. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Your mileage may vary. Don't try this at home!

A wireless remote would be a cool feature. Especially since many of the best mounting locations are out of reach from the driver's seat.

I hope to get one of these again before Moab:thumbs:

Yes, but remote control and live video preview on a smart phone or tablet is even more useful and $40 cheaper. I already have a bracket on my dash for my smart phone, so I will be able to watch the video and decide when to start and stop recording.

Does anyone have the Android app? Was looking for it and can't find it yet. I wonder if it is out yet? Or does it come with the BacPac? I had a couple amazon gift certificates so I just ordered the gopro hero2, motorsports edition. I forgot the SD card though.

 

[Portager]

The app for IOS and Android is not out yet. The GoPro web site says it is due Fall 2012 :link: I'm pretty sure that back in July it said August, but now it says Fall.

Here is another site that discusses the app schedule and abilities. :link:

I sent an email to GoPro Customer Support and here is the response I got.

Thank you for contacting customer support.
At the moment we don't have an exact release date of the app for the WiFi. It will be released sometime this fall. Please sign up for our newsletter to be kept up to date on our new products. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I can't wait. I use the go pro for diving and ballooning.

 

[jakesz28]

I picked up the wifi bacpac and remote from best buy when I got the SD card. Can't wait for the app. May play with it at the drag strip tonight.

 

[jakesz28]

I'm real impressed with the video I took yesterday. Now I need spare batteries.

 

[cbetts]

I just got one in the mail for my birthday! Maybe now I can actually take video of the driving and not of the break stops.

 

[Portager]

Sweet! Did you get the WiFi bacpac too?

Oops, I got the WiFi module w/remote, not the LCD display.

Get the battery bacpac, it comes with a battery & can be used as an external charger. lets you keep one charged while still using the camera

The I phone app is out. The android one has not been released yet. Hopefully the android one comes out. The new hero3 is out, with built in wifi.

that Hero3 looks sweet. takes awesome footage.

 

[M22KLARS]

Yeah but 1440P? Sounds pretty useless...... right now.

Not for professional use.

well you could always go with 1080p @60fps or 720p @120fps.

The Hero III is awesome. The Black model is designed for professional use. I'd love to get it but I refuse to give GoPro any more money until I get my WiFi app for Android.

Well this will definitely be in my list of next purchases. I kill so much space on my cards recording useless driving and always miss the cool stuff haha. ALso mounting a go pro on my roof rack is a pain is the butt to turn on/off all the time haha
