How does the built-in 5Ghz transmitter on the GoPro Hero 3 compare to what one could get out of this transmitter?

never owned a go pro but you can wire any mini cam through splicins as long as it has a rc lack[which I imagine would be a much lighter camera.........

is there a 5ghz transmitter on a go pro??? i use this on a quadcopter..i get 2miles out of this one using hellical antenna 10 coil on my video gogles on the receiving side, and a skew planar antenna connected to this on my quadcopter on the transmitting side..

The wifi transmitter on the GoPro is not intended for "streaming" live images at range.... I have used this kit, and it was very functional

Doesn't the gopro have a built in wifi transmitter? My gopro linkhad very short range and interfered with signal to the UAV (which is why we use the transmitter).

The GoPro built in transmitter is 2.4ghz. That conflicts with most current RC recievers and transmitters. This 5ghz transmitter won't interfere with the 2.4ghz control signals.

I checked gopro, found out it do not carry IR sensitive len. You need to replace Len to make it work. If you change len with IR sensitive, IR Illuminator should be work for it. Thanks

Works great with my GoPro Hero 3+. I think it'll work fine with the GoPro 4.

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ and it works fine. Dove 16 times, replaced the inserts only after each two dives and had zero troubles.

This model didn't have the upgraded software when I bought it, but you are able to get a cable and download the new software on the old ones. As to the gopro interference, I have a hero 3 white edition and never had problems with using a WiFi remote "my iPhone" to start and stop recording. I have heard a lot of negative feed back about the black edition for some reason though.

There's two types of transmitters. Your gonna need the 5.8ghz for the fc40.

Perry, Great question! I'm not sure, since my GoPro is a hero3. Looking at the pictures of the new model, it appears that the new version uses the same waterproof housing. If so, then it will work. If you do get a definitive answer, let me know. I plan to get an additional hero sometime soon (two's better than one, right?).

You have to purchase an adapter from Go Pro to allow a 3.5 mm stereo microphone to connect via a optional adapter. The output impedance on the Tascam is 1.6 ohms and the Go Pro it's 2.0 close enough where it might work. Power on the Go Pro is 3.3v for an external mic. The Hero Black Edition has just 4 mic recommendations, but not all mic brands have been tested. With the special adapter it would be a buy and try affair. There is also a special skeleton housing needed to access the usb port outside the housing, in order to use an external mic. The 3.5 Mic Adapter costs $19.99 on the Go Pro site. The Skeleton Housing sells for $49.99. You have to purchase an adapter from Go Pro to allow a 3.5 mm stereo microphone to connect via a optional adapter.

With my gopro hero3 I have a wifi remote and smartphone app that I can use but while I was out snowboarding I found it was easier to just set my camera to time lapse. I had it at 1 picture per second so every time I wanted a picture I held the pose or position for a few seconds so I got several pictures and chose the best one later. I found that this was best way to do it because most of my pictures picked up a lot of blue because the time lapse setting holds exposure longer so you have to steady it more. I'd suggest spending 10 more dollars and getting a sturdier arm extender.

Hi I'm of the opinion that GOPRO does not have an external 3.5mm mic input connector. Anyway, the one returned had terrible "hiss", so I sent it back.

I own the gopro hero 3 but have never had occasion to use a mic with it. The one that comes with it is pretty clear to me. I do own the sennheiser your talking about and it is a phantom power mic when I'm using it. Therefore, to me it wouldn't work because the gopro really should use a dynamic mic it its to work without the preamp.

I have a GoPro 2 and it works fine. I got a 'HD Hero Skeleton Housing' - open on both sides to allow plug-in of the mic and more and still provide safety and attachment brace for the camera. I don't have the Hero3.

I don't think so, just get the gopro app and update your hero3 and turn on wifi then use!

I think the biggest difference between the Hero 2 and 3 is the wi-fi. I wasn't willing to pay for that option, so opted for the Hero 2. My son uses it on quads and in the car and it performs well. :)

It will work with anything that has a 3.5 mm input jack. I did not have good audio with my gopro hero 3 though.

I have tried to connect my GoPro Hero3 using the USB Connection Kit and the Ipad gives me an error saying Device requires to much power. So the answer is no.

Works fine if you use the GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter which connect any 3.5mm microphone to your GoPro.Compatibility: HERO3+, HERO3 You can see the adapter on the GoPro site.
