Step by step How to connect GoPro Hero 3 to iPad, iPhone, Smartphones and other WiFi devices and control Hero 3 by WiFi devices. Internet isn't required
The GoPro is designed more like a point-and-shoot camera, with the lens and longer side at the front of the device. The Sony model has the lens built on the smaller end of the device. Like almost all sports cams, both lack a live-view LCD, which you'll find on full-size camcorders (although you can buy an LCD accessory for either model).
The WiFi video link is very detailed and smooth believe it or not. But of course the catch with WiFi is that it introduces a 4 time delay lag. This is a shame but for setting up a shot it does the job! I think for the uses this camera has, you don't need realtime monitoring any way. Just the ability to set that shot up and monitor it remotely with no cable is pretty cool for a free add-on. The app is free in the App Store and the firmware update is on Go Pro's site.
You have to disconnect from your WiFi internet router and connect to the GoPro in the WiFi menu of your phone so they can communicate. They can do this anywhere (internet isn't required). There's a "Locate Camera" option which makes the camera emit a beep and the LEDs flash but not if you have the lights and button press beeps disabled in the menus. It isn't a GPS locator with a map unfortunately. Sound is channeled through to the phone as well from the camera's onboard mic. You can also activate 12MP stills and timelapses via the iPhone app, which is handy when the camera is in an out of reach place like on top of the Burj Khalifa.
The slow-mo options of this camera exceed anything below the FS700 / FS100 for the price. This camera is $440! 1280×960 goes up to 100fps. 120fps is available in 720p. WVGA (854×480) goes right up to 240fps. Better than any high speed compact camera sensor from Casio, Sony or Canon. Low low ability reduces dramatically at the high frame rates but resolution is about what it says on the tin, no noticeably bad line skipping, moire or aliasing is introduced at 960p or 720p, but it does show up at 240p. The only other consumer priced camera that comes close to matching this is the Panasonic FZ200 which also does up to 120fps in 720p, or 100fps on the PAL model.
