The GoPro® Feed app turns your iPhone or iPad into a live, full-screen viewfinder for your GoPro®. See exactly what your camera sees, in real time, from wherever it's mounted — and now control recording without touching it. Perfect for optimal viewing in any situation! For adventurers, professionals, and casual users alike. Get the big picture! Always the right way up Mount your GoPro upside down, sideways, or on an awkward rig, and the preview can come out flipped. GoPro® Feed fixes it instantly: flip, rotate, and fit or fill the live view with a tap, so the image on your screen is always upright and correctly framed. Watch in full-screen landscape for the clearest possible picture. Record without reaching the camera New: start and stop your GoPro's recording straight from your phone while you watch the live feed — no need to reach the camera once it's mounted, submerged, or out of sight. Built for how you really use a GoPro Reverse camera — extra eyes when parking, towing, or backing a trailer down the ramp to launch or retrieve a boat. Home and property — keep a live eye on your driveway, doorway, or backyard. Outdoors — watch wildlife up close without disturbing it, or follow the action on the water while fishing or sailing. Work — inspect roofs, pipes, and tight spaces from your screen, or share the live feed with a teammate or coach for instant feedback. Underwater and marine — bring dives, reefs, and underwater moments to life on deck. Who it's for Boaters, anglers, drivers, divers, creators, inspectors, coaches, and anyone who wants to see — and now record — their GoPro's view in real time. Supported camera models (with the latest firmware version): HERO13 Black HERO12 Black HERO11 Black Mini HERO11 Black HERO10 Black Before first use: For a stable connection, devices must be within Bluetooth range. When connecting the GoPro® camera for the first time, you may need to pair it using the GoPro®Quik app. Refer to the in-app Manual for setup instructions. Please note: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth don't travel through water. For underwater viewing, the app needs a tethered camera system (sold separately) that relays the live feed to the surface. _________________________________ This app utilizes the Open GoPro API, which is publicly available and licensed under the MIT License.
