Default I'm Going Nuts

This is my third attempt to synch the remote to my Wifi back and camera.


The two previous attempts resulted in a bruise knuckle and a small dent in my desk.while shouting very fowl language directed at the sky.


I printed the instructions and followed them to the letter. The hour and one half was not time well spent.In my younger days,my temper most likely would have caused damage to my camera, my house and my reputation.

Is there an expert out there that will be at the dragon GTG who can lend a hand to help me resolve this?

Many thanks in advance.

Guys go to the go pro website and look for the youtube video link on syncing the remote with the go pro. the step by step instructions will explain everything. After that you will feel a lot better. I understand your pain.

I have to wonder how many so called techs they had to hire to field calls about this POS.

By now, they probably wish they had never released it.

Kiss my $50.00 a fond farewell
