stu999 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have reached the time of contract life when it is time to choose a new phone. The phone of choice this time could well be a Galaxy S4. A quick question...I understand the S4 is microSD compatible. Does this mean I could take the card out of the GoPro, pop the card into the S4 and potentially view the mornings raw trackday footage on the phone?

Paulm3 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You could, if the S4 supports the format the go-pro records in. Would be pretty likely though as MP4 ETA: Check the s4 supports MP4 and h.264 codec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clansman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You might need to download the goPro app for Android, if you have the latest camera it is wifi and you can then control/set all the GoPro functions from the phone a lot easier than through the camera interface !! If its a Hero 2 then there is a wifi module that connects to the back of the camera and case to put it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu999 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Aye, I have the app on the current iPhone 4s. What I can't currently do is watch any gopro footage until I get access to my laptop the app only allows live footage...just wondering if a microSD compatible phone as the S4 can do that?

Can use GoPro Android app to control it and watch Videos on on S4 from GoPro via wifi. Works a treat. Go pro records in mp4 which is compatible with S4.

stu999 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I did see the S5 was announced when I started researching it. That also means S4's will be even cheaper too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Been wondering about a GoPro for a while, can you use the WiFi to view what the GoPro is seeing live? For instance if I am on the starting grid with the GoPro recording and the wife is in pit lane can she use an Ipad or similar to view what the camera can see?

Darrell O'Neill Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cam, which gopro are you going for ? I can't decide... The black is huge money, though I understand it's superb quality, i only want to view my runs in half decent clarity ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onliest Smeg David Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I went for 3+ Silver, even not at it's highest quality the picture is great on a tv.

Agreed, service second to none Richard, the iPhone 4s had Siri, which I use a surprising amount. But you also realise just how limited they can be compared to other offerings - memory expansion being one of them. In fact I find that as probably the most frustrating thing...! I might just run iphone on a SIM card for a couple of months now, and see what the S5 is like in the real world... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
