Dear friends,
I like to fly and make aerial videos with a Phantom 2 (non Vision!), Zenmuse 3H-2D and GoPro Hero 3+ and of course FPV system, just to know my stuff...
Usually I start recording the video manually, just before the takeoff, but I wonder: is there any contraindication to use the wifi of the GoPro? Sometimes I like to make tests of different settings about resolution (30-60 fps, 2k-1080, protune yes/no, etc...) and it would be quite handy to change all this and stop/restart recording from GoPro remote control or iPhone. Make changements in the GoPro settings when it is hanged to the Zenmuse isn't so confortable...
Also avoid to record every takeoff, that always will be cut when editing the video., could be useful.
So, questions:
1) can the GoPro wifi signal interfere with Phantom radio signal and FPV video signal?
2) what's the range of GoPro wifi signal? It will be lost if the Phantom is 100,200,300 meters far? I guess yes...
(Anyway I wasn't dreaming to control the GoPro from far away, just to change its settings and/or start/stop recording when the Phantom is quite near or even landed...)
Someone of you, more expert than I am, uses the GoPro in-built wifi when flying?
Thanks a lot
