Camera Control Overview
What is Camera Control? The Camera Control for GoPro Hero app allows users to control GoPro Hero cameras over Wifi/WLAN and view live video previews. It supports Hero 5, Hero 4 (including Hero 4 Session), all Hero 3 models, and Hero 2 with Wifi BacPac. Users can change camera settings, start/stop recording, switch modes, and use shortcut keys to power on/off and start/stop recording.

Video preview on Hero 5 causes crash in version 2.07
Let’s face it, my expectations were low given the reviews, but heck, for $3.99 it was worth a try. It took me a while to figure out how to connect my Hero 5. You have to connect to the WiFi network provided by the GoPro for it to work. Unfortunately, when you attempt to turn on preview the app crashes. I have send the crash info to Microsoft, and hopefully this problem will be fixed soon. I have not tried changing the settings via the app.
not worth it
I went on a 3hr off road and started the application, it said it was recording, but when I connected my gopro to my Windows, there was no video, nothing, wasted money, DONT BUY. I know the gopro is working as I use it all the time for making video’s of my off road, but this program did NOTHING. I will use my other program that never lets me down, tried something new, should of known better. Once again DONT BUY.. I wish I could write the owner to let him know how upset Cam
Thought I’d be the exception
But no, this app is junk like the majority of reviews said. It pairs and connects (showing the camera’s status and settings) but no preview which is what I need.
Doesn’t Work
Camera registers but the streaming video doesn’t work. That’s why I wanted it in the first place. Want my money back.
