It wasn't until I stumbled across a few poorly recorded YouTube videos that I saw it.
It turns out that GoPro Hero 3+ comes with a small web server on it that you can connect to, browse the files, or even see live video from the device. Today I cannot transfer that file to my phone (using the app) or computer (using USB). Typically I try to stop and start the video recording every few minutes because I know I can only transfer smaller files to my phone. On Wednesday I attached my GoPro to my kayak and paddled around for a while with the camera pointed under water. Smaller files can still be transferred using the iOS application thankfully. I do not have a micro USB chip reader so I have no way to get larger files off of the GoPro with all of these crazy issues. (I've managed to rule these out.)Īfter searching online for a bit I see a lot of people having similar issues with their GoPro cameras after they've had them for a little while.
And in Image Capture or Photos for OS X you can only see the GoPro being connected for a few seconds before it disconnects, reconnects, disconnects, repeat repeat repeat. But recently this has stopped working too. But then even this "hack" stopped working about a month ago.įor these times I would connect my GoPro to my Mac via USB and transfer the files. I have no idea why, but this worked for a while. I figured out how to deal with this issue by first attempting to control the GoPro using the app before attempting to transfer the photos and video off of it. I would connect to the ad-hoc network that the GoPro Hero3+ creates, open the iOS app, and attempt to transfer the files to my phone but it would only work about 10% of the time. It started 6 months ago as an iOS app connectivity issue. (Skip to the bottom of this post if you just want to know how to connect to your GoPro using an internet browser.)Īs I mentioned my GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition has been giving me issues lately.
