Title: Go Pro camera for gutter vaccing - connecting to phone
Post by: Ian101 on February 01, 2017, 08:04:46 am
As suggested by Frankiebedboy on another post.

Do these gopros wifi to your phone ?
I have an out of contract galaxy so could I use this ?
How do you get camera onto the end of the pole?

Thanks !

Something like that. I went for an official go pro one though.


Thanks ! You're welcome

Also, download the Gopro app for Android to your phone and then set up gopro with your phone.  You may get connection issues of working over 30' or (I think) interference from home wifi systems disrupting the signal. Works well most of the time though.

Ian, don't spend on the gopro. I've a dbpower dx5000 and it's spot on and only £45.00. it connects to phone via WiFi, comes with a spare battery and can even record in 1080p. I can link you to a video I took if you like.

I got a go-pro for ours and connected to the iPhone, it loses signal a lot and doesn't work at all when it gets to 3/4 storey height.

We now use the Gardiners one which is great IMO. Picture quality isn't great like the Go-Pro, but then if the Go-Pro isn't working I can't take pictures anyway.

I use this (£49 one). Comes with the attachment to connect straight onto the pole. Job done.

Which gopro is that then as the gopro hero2 silver I use works just fine doing 3 storey jobs?
