Gopro
Hi all,
I have a Gopro camera (white ) I think it has wifi that I can control with an app on my phone. Is there a way that I can watch the videos that I have taken autocrossing ? I have a cable so that I can play them right on my tv but it would be nice to be able to watch on my phone.
Any help would be appreciated

I've never tried it, but I think it's doable.
Normally, we'll watch the video in the trailer on a laptop, when we're at the track. I also have GoPro's LCD back for the camera (about $80), which works very well, for quickly reviewing a video.
Do you have the GoPro app on your phone? If not, get it. Immediately upon opening the app, it will start "Searching for a Wi-Fi GoPro". The app allows you to create an album of your GoPro videos, too. There's also a complete manual available for the GoPro, on line at their website. I printed it out, and put it in a 3 ring binder. I can't look at it right now (it's in a plastic tub, with my racetrack gear), but if I get a chance later, I'll dig it out.

I have the white gopro and the app on my smartphone, and yes you can watch your vids on your phone. The app truly is a must have, as the amount of control and settings is amazing. You need to have your wifi settings on both the phone and the gopro turned ON to control the camera as well as view your videos.
