For all those GoPro owners out there that may already own or thinking about getting an iPad, this may help sweeten the pot. I had read that they keep
promising an LCD viewing screen as an accessory but after a year, it still has not made it to market thus making it difficult to see if the footage
you captured is what you wanted.
Solution - the iPad camera connection kit. It did not work plugged into the GoPro directly but the SD card works beatifully with the other included
adapter, which when plugged into the iPad dock connector, allows full viewing and importing of your videos on your iPad. You can trim them and post to
Youtube from it as well.
Just figured I would share in case anyone is on the fence Todd - 27-12-2010 at 05:59 PM
Good info, Adam is in RI right now too if you guys just want to meet up to say hello!flyjump - 27-12-2010 at 06:05 PM
Chud, Me invertedforce and joeblinky are up here till the end of the week. We are down to hang out if you wantlad - 27-12-2010 at 06:12 PM
You can also find smaller, portable & much cheaper, media players to plug the SD card into (like used Nokia Internet Tablets off of eBay - the
later model come with a GPS and mapping app).chudalicious - 27-12-2010 at 06:21 PM
Thanks for the heads up Todd!
Flyjump - sounds like a plan. We're up in northern RI digging out from the storm and considering the gusts intensity i am thinkingg flying is
out?:cool2:
Where you guys at? Would love to meet up for a beer if anything.Feyd - 27-12-2010 at 06:22 PM
My Drift 170 HD has a screen and playback abilty on the unit.
I'm sure I'm a pilgrim in an unholy Go Pro land but I really think the Drift is a better system. I was actually buying a Go Pro when I saw the new
170 HD had come out.
The latest firmware for the GoPro HD allows you to watch while you are recording now. You just need a portable lcd screen.ripsessionkites - 27-12-2010 at 08:22 PM
Good news is that the LCD screen is available for your gopro.
Bad news is that we had some units instock but are sold out now.
Next shipment is 2 weeks.
It's not listed on their website yet.
Someone had a mod for his iPhone to Cam. I have search it out again.
+1 for the iPad, pics and video viewing on the fly. iPad 2 is coming, whoop whoop.van - 27-12-2010 at 09:18 PM

Would appreciate a heads up when you get some of them LCD screens in. I hate having to hook up my GoPro to the car's tv monitor all the time.chudalicious - 30-12-2010 at 12:09 AM
