– Pixellot: They do sports broadcasting, this controls all the GoPro’s and handles content transfer – Orqa: FPV goggle control (drones) to see camera status in goggles – Centurion Boats: wirelessly control a GoPro from the boat’s helm control screen – Sena cycling helmets will have voice control of your GoPro – Amazfit watches will have GoPro camera control from the wrist.
– FPV drone control integration, without having to hack things apartĪnd in fact, at launch, there are five specific scenarios that are being lit-up by 3rd party companies: – A desktop app to automatically connect wirelessly to your GoPro and offload all the content to a local computer or NAS device – A Garmin Connect IQ App for your bike computer or watch to control the GoPro
For example, in reading through all the documents, in the sports realm, one could develop: It’s just an open interface anyone can use.Īnd the potential is massive for people wanting to develop Really Cool Stuff™. Whereas, this new open program resolves that, as there’s no longer a gatekeeper to the program. Other companies, such as Wahoo though, couldn’t get into the program (they tried, hoping to integrate it with the Wahoo bike computers). But it required GoPro to set up a partnership there with all the complexities that brought with it. So did some drone companies, including 3DR & AirDog. So we saw some companies, like Polar, actually implement it in their products (ok, a handful of products). In theory, it covered many of the same features as today’s program. It was a mere half a decade ago that GoPro announced their GoPro Developer Program. If a GoPro API sounds familiar to you, it might be. Most notably, the API is not ‘gated’ behind some corporate partnership deal, instead, anyone can get to work creating apps to integrate with it. The API (Application Programming Interface) allows a slew of functions over wireless interfaces, including control as well as transfer of media. GoPro has just announced a new open API for 3rd party companies/apps to use, called Open GoPro, allowing them to integrate with their cameras, starting with the GoPro Hero 9.
