The GoPro App is the heart and soul of the GoPro operation. Download, set up, and explore the app. Here are some of the things it lets you do:

  • Operate the camera from 50 feet away.

  • Monitor the scene on your smartphone’s screen.

    Don’t expect monitoring to be perfect. There’s a bit of lag time between the camera and your smartphone — as much as a few seconds. To judge the delay, put your hand in front of the camera’s lens and then take it away, and see how long it takes for the change to appear on your smartphone.

  • Control one camera or multiple cameras, with all the technical settings at your disposal.

  • Select the mode you want to capture.

  • Start and stop video recording, take still photos, and do time-lapse photography.

  • Erase a full memory card or delete just the last item captured.

One caveat: The app doesn’t work when the camera is underwater. You can still record — by tapping the app’s Shutter/Select button before submerging the camera — but you won’t be able to monitor the scene.

The GoPro App is a free download away. Just go to Apple’s App Store, the Windows Store, or Google Play. You can find more information at GoPro.com on the Software and App page.

Set up the app

Here’s how you set up the GoPro app:

  1. Activate Wi-Fi on the camera by pressing the Wi-Fi button on the side.

    The blue light blinks to show that Wi-Fi is activated.

  2. Open the GoPro App on your smartphone and then tap the Connect & Control button, shown here.

  3. If you see a No Cameras Connected warning, navigate to the Wi-Fi settings on your smartphone and make sure that the GoPro is selected.

    Often, your home Wi-Fi network is selected by default on your phone, and you need to select the camera.

  4. Control the camera.

    Monitor the scene and make changes without ever touching the camera. You can change camera modes, adjust resolution settings, and access Protune settings on the Black Edition.

Give the app a test drive

Although using the GoPro App is pretty intuitive, giving it a test drive doesn’t hurt. Follow these steps:

  1. Launch the GoPro App.

  2. Tap the Command & Control button.

  3. Tap the video icon.

    By default, the video icon should be selected, but if it’s not, tap the icon that looks like a movie camera.

  4. Point the camera at something, and check the scene on the monitor.

  5. Make camera adjustments, if necessary.

  6. Tap the red button to start recording video.

  7. Tap the red button again to stop recording.


How to do it?

There are a few different ways to get your photos and videos from the camera to your computer.

We do not recommend using a USB Hub or Media Reader.

#1 - Use Quik for desktop

HEADS UP: This feature is currently supported only on the HERO7 Black or earlier cameras. Newer cameras may or may not work as expected when connected via USB cable.
Please refer to this link on How to Import Using Quik for Desktop​
If your camera is not being recognized in Quik for desktop, please refer to this article

#2 - Use an SD Adapter

If you have an SD adapter for your MicroSD card, you can insert the Micro SD card into the adapter and insert the adapter into your computer.

  • Open a new Finder window. Your SD card will be on the left sidebar under the 'devices' section.
  • Double-click on your SD card, and you should see two folders: DCIM and MISC.
  • Now double-click on the DCIM folder. In that, you'll see a folder named 100GOPRO. (Note - if you took more than 9999 pictures or videos, you'll see 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO, 103GOPRO, etc. folders).
  • From there you can drag & drop the files from your SD card to your computer.

Method #3 - Automatically with Image Capture

Image Capture allows you to:

  • Import files to a location of your choice
  • Delete files
  • View files before importing

Select the file(s) you want to Import and select Import, or Import All if you want to import everything.

Method #4 - Manually with Image Capture

If you do not have Image Capture set up to automatically launch when you connect your camera, you can easily do it manually.

  1. Select the magnifying glass in the top-right of your desktop.
  2. In the Spotlight section type either: Image Capture or iPhoto

Once the selected application opens, you can import your files just like in Method #2.
