SAN MATEO, CA (October 9, 2012)- GoPro’s new mobile app is now available for free download from Apple’s App Store and coming soon to Google Play.
Compatible with GoPro’s best selling HD HERO2 camera, the GoPro App
enables full camera control and live scene preview for easy shot framing
on smartphones or tablets. The app also provides daily GoPro Photo of
the Day and Video of the Day updates, serving up the most current and
engaging GoPro content while you are on the go.
“The GoPro App gives our customers more creative control and
convenience than ever before,” says Nicholas Woodman, GoPro founder and
CEO. “Being able to use your smart device to remotely turn on and
control your GoPro, seeing what your camera sees, opens up all sorts of
interesting new use cases. We’re excited to see the inventive ideas our
customers come up with. As if getting Photo and Video of the Day sent to
your smartphone wasn’t already cool enough!”
Example GoPro App features that expand the HD HERO2 experience:
• Full camera control, including: Power On/Off, Recording Start/Stop, and all Mode settings
• Live scene-preview prior to and during video and photo capture
• Real time monitoring of the camera vitals including battery life and SD card capacity

Subsequent releases of the GoPro App will enable streaming playback
of videos and photos from the camera to a smart device, sharing of photo
and video content from the camera to social networks, controlling of
multiple cameras, and streaming live video from the camera to the web.
“This is just the beginning of our efforts to expand the versatility
of our cameras while making it easy for people to share the incredible
footage they capture with their GoPros,” Woodman says.
In conjunction with the GoPro App, GoPro is also releasing Protune, a
free professional video mode for the HD HERO2 camera. Protune delivers
