You can start and stop recording with the app, and see battery and memory status. The app serves as a real-time viewfinder, allowing you to see what the camera is recording to better frame your shots. This isn’t a big deal in a lot of situations, since all you really need to do is point the camera at the subject or out the window and hit record.įor those who want more control of the camera while shooting, GoPro offers a free app available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. To keep the camera size as compact as possible though, the GoPro cameras do not include a viewfinder like traditional handheld video cameras. The small size and weight of the camera makes it ideal for pilots to easily mount it in the airplane and record flights to later share with family and friends.

The latest GoPro Hero3 Black Edition camera can even record video at 4K, which is a significantly higher resolution than regular HD.

They’re used just about everywhere now, from snowboarders to skydivers, to record stunning HD video at an affordable price. The GoPro line of portable cameras have set the standard for action video cameras.
