Looking for new ways to use your GoPro Hero camera? The company’s new WiFi BacPac + WiFi Remote bundle is designed to give your camera remote and WiFi capabilities, all with a simple upgrade.
The WiFi BacPac is a small module that attaches to the back of your existing Hero camera giving it WiFi capabilities. The companion dual-button remote (which is both weatherproof and wearable) then lets you control the BacPac-equipped Hero from a range of up to 600 feet. Even better, the remote can control up to 50 different GoPro cameras simultaneously.
In addition to the WiFi Remote, GoPro is also working on a free app that will let you control your WiFi-capable Hero via your Android- or
iOS-based smartphone or tablet. Users will be able to forgo the WiFi Remote and instead use their mobile devices to preview live videos and
photos taken with the Hero cam.
The WiFi BacPac is compatible with the HD Hero 2 and original HD Hero camera. It’s out now for $99.
