Synchronised GoPro overlay
Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2017 4:57 am
Hi,
Firstly I'm sorry if the question has already been answered on the forum, I'm doing a trackday very soon and can't go through the vast documentation to find it.
I have an old Android phone with Petrolhead Edition taped inside my track car but am now thinking to get the Apple version and use my iPhone. Up until now I have been manually synchronising videos from GoPro Hero 4 Black to make overlays.
Is it possible to control the camera over WiFi from my phone (turn it on and start recording) and will the video recorded this way be automatically synchronised? Can I feed the video from the camera's SD card directly over WiFi to make an overlay on my phone or do I have to physically copy the files? (like I've been doing up until now, such a strenuous task!)
And finally, if it is possible to synchronise the video automatically over WiFi, what version of LapTimer do I need to control my GoPro? Still Petrolhead or will the Grand Prix edition give me some additional functionality? (I'm only using one camera for now)
I'm using GoPro Hero 4 Black and iPhone 8 Plus.
Thanks,
Paul
