GoPro WiFi Bacpac & Remote Released.

Rambo

The GoPro WiFi bacpac and wireless Remote are now available in some countries. There is a FW update required for the Cineform Studio Program which will also prompt you via "Update Available" status to download a new FW for the camera, WiFi Bacpac and also the remote control.

Update procedure on GoPro Support site http://gopro.com/support/wi-fi-bacpac-wi-fi-remote-with-hd-hero2-product-update/

Video tutorial update procedure.

No reports yet of any successful updates or even anyone using the new hardware, so probably best to wait a few days to see if any bugs appear.

This only enables Wifi remote function, the streaming and controlling by smartphone and iPhone is still pending Apps being released. As is the ProTune Technicolor 35mbps mode.

Thanks Rambo. It's not too much past April. Now for Protune!

Quite a number of people updated without waiting for the official release and instructions so they had non functioning cameras. However after a panic overnite, re updating the correct way restores functionality and Wifi remote now works.

Pete, I think ProTune will be available sooner than most people think. GoPro now have separate engineering departments for camera/port accessory firmware and computer software interface programs. As for an official announcement?? .... It will probably just appear online unannounced as an update via Cineform Studio just like the latest Wifi updates above.

Checkout the Burst Mode sequence and the 36 remotely operated camera sequence at 2:30 in the video above. These features and many others coming are why GOpro cameras are going to continue exploding across the globe, so versatile, cheap and great quality in ultra wide.

Howdy, Stranger!
