Features: • unparalleled lightning-fast connection • change any settings including Protune parameters • tried and tested by many users • control multiple cameras at once • create unlimited custom presets and apply them with a single tap • control your camera with broken Wi-Fi (especially useful for the Session line which lacks a physical screen) • compatible with Hero 5-10 & Session 5 (other models may also work) Caution: Because this app doesn't use Wi-Fi, live image preview unfortunately isn't possible. --Disclaimer-- This product and/or service is not affiliated with, endorsed by or in any way associated with GoPro Inc. or its products and services.
