Looking at gopro hero3 camera for surveying gutters.
Should I get black one or would silver one do?

Thanks

Both have wifi, so silver would do the job.

I've had the cameras and none of them are as good or as simple as a good old mirror on a pole.

No chance. Also unprofessional when showing a client.

So how does this work?  Does it show what's in the gutters in real time on your phone?

Yep... My iPhone connects to the GoPro via WiFi and I use the GoPro app to view what the camera sees directly on my screen.

Cheers.  That's a very good idea.  I think I'll copy it.

Go for it  ;)

It beats paying £££ for a "professional" gutter cam kit!

It has its own wi-fi between the camera and your phone.

It really is a must have, staff love it customers love it and i love it

Just a question with these. From what you are all saying they seem to work wirelessly to a monitor, is this true? If so what do you need to receive the signal. Is it 2.4ghz or wifi or something else?

I don't think it's as simple as that as I think you need to use a go pro app

Yes both. You can record footage to a memory card then view the footage on anything that will play memory cards.

For live feed you you need each device to be able to connect to wifi.

So the camera puts out it's on wifi signal. You can connect any device to it which has wifi and you can run the go pro app on it.

So are you saying that the GoPro connects directly to the iPhone/iPad via wifi or do you need to have a wifi base station set up?  I can imagine the image quality would be brilliant as it's digital and high bandwidth.
