GoPro have unveiled a new Wi-Fi combo kit that will allow owners of both the HD Hero and the newer HD HERO2 cameras to live preview and playback video’s on smart-phones and tables.

The new Wifi will also in the future allow owners to live stream their videos and photos directly to the web.

The remote Wifi controller will allow up to 50 cameras to be controlled within a 180 metre range, giving full control over the camera/s allowing owners to turn them on and off, control shutter settings, the mode in which the camera is being uses as well as other settings.

In addition the remote control will be waterproof, which will come in handy for those wet and muddy days, and also for those dirt bike riders who also enjoy water sports as well.

A GoPro App for smart-phones and tables will be coming soon adding another dimension to the camera, giving owners the ability to control your GoPro via your phone or tablet, live preview and playback videos and also going forward the ability to transfer your footage live to the internet using your smart-phone as a hotspot.

The new Wi-Fi combo kit has been released in America with it likely to be available in other countries some time in July through local importers.
