GoPro Hero 2 with Wifi BacPac

The GoPro Hero 2 comes soon with wifi bacpac option. Wonder if there is any worth trying the wifi live view option to iphone via wifi (2,4 Ghz same as radio!) or will the GoPro wifi-transmitting jam the receiver for the radio?

  • Hmm, suspected someting like that would happen. Thanks anyway guys!

  • But using 2.4 Ghz radio together with a 5.8 Ghz video link should work then? That was my plan b :)

  • My transmitter (Turnigy 9X) also causes major issues on my home wireless network. This is because they are both 2.4Ghz, and the transmitter uses 'spread spectrum'/'frequency hopping' to make sure that nothing on a single channel cause cause you to lose signal. Your WiFi will use 2.4Ghz (802.11b, 802.11g) or 5.8Ghz (802.11a) on a specific sub-channel/frequency range. 802.11n may use will use both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz for more throughput and better resistance to interference from other devices :P

    I agree that the GoPro backpac with WiFi will not work well with 2.4Ghz & 5.8Ghz radios or 2.4Ghz & 5.8Ghz video video transmitters depending on what WiFi network technology it uses.
