Dane is a genius on the water but off the water he can have his moments where I am just shaking my head. So stoked that we are the luckiest gits in the world and that this worked out!

As standard the wifi password for the app is “goprohero” all lower case with no spaces. However a number of folk have had issues with this.
The long awaited App for the GoPro Wifi Bac is now avilable on iTunes. The App is free but requires you to have a GoPro Hero 2 and Wifi Bacpac kit or a Hero 3 (Wifi is built in). A firmware update is required before you attempt to connect the App.
With the GoPro App you can now control your GoPro camera remotely using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Features include: full control of all camera settings; live, remote viewfinder/preview of your iPhone/iPod or iPad for easy shot framing, and more.
In my case I have connected my iPhone to the camera so will refer to iPhone throughout this write up with the understanding that other iOS devices can be connected.
To connect the iPhone to the GoPro I switched on the GoPro/Bacpac and navigated to the Wifi settings on the camera menu and selected the Phone/Tablet option. On my iPhone I went to settings, switched on the Wifi and connected to the GoPro Wifi network. A password is requested. The default password is “goprohero”.
There is pretty much an App for everything, so being a bit of a techno geek I thought it would be useful to have a run through just some of the Apps that I am currently using that have an outdoor/kayaking theme.
Firstly it’s fair to say I am a huge Apple fan and have been since my first encounter with a Mac Classic when I was at sixth form in ’91. The follow apps are used on my iPhone, they may or may not be available for other smart phones.
