Go Pro Hero

[GeoNomad]

I was also confused by the official page saying Not supported and the YouTube video showing it working.

Does the X2 card work?

Is some kind of firmware update required?

Is that an eyefi firmware update or a GoPro update?

Clarification would help before I order the card...

Hi.

How is this progressing?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Any update on this?

Nope, sorry. We're still looking into it.

I guess the only answer was to shell out the $ and give it a try. I have done that and am now using the GoPro as a webcam using the Eye-Fi card to ftp the photos to my web site.

I would link to the web site that shows how it works as a webcam, but this forum software thinks that is too spammy for a new user..

I guess you will have to google to find my web site "gopro camera controller". Perhaps someone with more posts can add a direct link to the thread please.

The words you need are: cam-do com gopro webcam

In short, the 4GB X2 Eye-Fi card appears to work with the GoPro HD Hero despite the information to the contrary.

Is it possible to have the Eye-Fi card in my GoPro and this wireless HDD by a company called gate Sea (please rearrange) called the GoFlex Satelite in my backpack for near endless recording whilst skiing?

This firmware version is only available to new activations. If you would like this firmware for your card, deactivate your X2 card and then activate it again (you will lose your card settings by doing this). You will be prompted to update to 5.0001 when activating.

Hi

I´m considering buying the product for use mostly with GoPro HD and an Android phone. I have a few questions:

1) Is there a possibility to transfer just the last file? I would mainly like to use the card to check my composition and therefore only the last file is needed. After the composition is checked I plan to close the wi-fi on my phone. I assume this preservers battery life on the GoPro also?

2) What is the approximate time for this job: Put wifi "on" on phone, take pic with gopro, transfer pic, check composition?

3) This actually has less to do with eye-fi. Can I somehow geotag a video? So the timeline is synced with the video?

[danb]

1.) Nope
2.) Depends on the media file size. If it is a picture, 30 seconds to 2 minutes? HD video... a minute to 60 minutes?
3.) Nope

Hi

I tried getting the firmware update by deactivating & activating, but it didn't work. How can I check my current firmware version?

You can look in the card log. Here are instructions to view your card log:

1. Insert the Eye-Fi card into the USB card reader and into your computer
2. Click on the Eye-Fi Helper icon in the Apple Menu Bar or in the Windows Task Bar
3. Select "Get Eye-Fi card Log..." from the menu. You may have to wait several seconds, but, in a moment, you will be asked where to save the Eye-Fi card log file
4. Save the Eye-Fi card.log file to your computer hard drive and open the card log

I went to re-activate my card after deactivation and now I am faced with the following error (upon caddy+card insertion):

"Failed to get the Eye-Fi card registration key"

So what do I do now? I can no longer use my Eye-Fi card.

NOTE: I have tried restarting my machine.

I can confirm that the file transferring is working fine with my GoPro Hero. (using a 4GB Connect X2)

Only the endless memory feature doesn't work at all. I've tried restarting the camera, plugging it out/in, ...
