How to pair GoPro HERO3 by LapTimer GrandPrix

Post by wade19870531 »

Hi, Harry
I currently use LapTimer with GrandPrix version. I want to use GoPro HERO3 to recording.
iPhone has connected to GoPro HERO3 by wifi but Laptimer seems unable to detect it.
Do I set LapTimer for connecting it.

Other information:
GoPro HERO3: "firmware version":"HD3.03.02.00","wifi version":"3.4.2.9","wifi bootloader version":"0.2.2".
iPhone 4s

I have solved this problem. It need to turn on Discover multicams and set GoPro Wifi Password in MultiCam Control setting.

Yes exactly. I'm currently a little overloaded with questions and feedback coming in through all channels - so sorry for the missing reply. I will add a short "how to" for both iOS MultiCam and GoPro MultiCam setups to the video docs soon.

Hello guys. My 1st post here although I've been a Harry user for the past 4-5 years. Until now I only used Harry petrolhead on my IPhone 6 but today I've upgraded to Grandprix and connected to my go pro 3+ black. The connection seems to be fine and Harry starts the gopro recording when I manually press record (no auto recording start yet since I need to reach the racing track for that). Several questions :

1) If I'm trying to directly download the video from my Gopro to IPhone as instructed on the tutorials made by Harry, it says either the gopro 3+ is not supported or the multicam is disabled. It would be more convenient to do it this way than through the iTunes (which I really hate)
2) Should the gopro appear on the sensor list as I've heard some saying, cause mine doesn't show up there ?
3) I had my go pro video res set to 720p because I get the entire session in one video (a session at my local racing track lasts about 20mins and the gopro always splits the video at 4GB or about 11:40mins (1080p) and then starts a second video from there because of the FAT32 limitations). When Harry starts the gopro cam, it automatically switches it to 1080p and I don't know why (Go pro is set to be the master video)

1) yes, the download would be fine. But the H3's web server provided for downloads is slow and instable - no fun. ITunes is the much faster option.
2) it appears in case the connection is active. As the connection is closes a few seconds after leaving Video View or Video List, you need to be fast to see it :-)
3) in LapTimer Setting, switch MultiCam Preset from Master to None and LapTimer will stop reconfiguring the resolution and field of view.

I have successfully use the go pro app with grand prix to record videos. However, I do not get the data overlay via my go pro hero 4. What am I doing wrong?

What exactly is the problem (compared to the H3)? Make sure you select HERO4 instead of 3 in Settings.
