Along with full control of all the camera settings, an iOS device can also be used as a remote viewfinder and shot framer.
The feature uses a direct Wi-Fi connection between an iOS device and the camera and doesn’t require a router. It has an effective range of around 60 feet.
The app is compatible with the HERO 3 white, silver, and black edition cameras along with the Wi-Fi BacPac-enabled HD Hero 2 camera. It is designed for the both the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad and can be downloaded in the App Store now.
The app also gives users access to the photo of the day and video of the day channels to show off what other camera users are doing.
You can snag a camera compatible with the app for as low as $199.99. More information about GoPro and its cameras can be found on the company’s site.
