Does gopro Wi-Fi remote and iphone app need a Wi-Fi network to run?

Can I use the Wi-Fi remote in the woods without a Wi-Fi hotspot connection? (Does the gopro link to the remote, Bluetooth-style, without an existing Wi-Fi network that they both must join)?
Thanks

PS… This is not something that involves memory or storage-- the go pro has a remote control to operate it… It also has an app you can download for free to use your smartphone as a wireless monitor while shooting video. My question was if it links up to the remote/phone without the use of a Wi-Fi network that it must join (such as your home Wi-Fi network, etc)

The GoPro creates a wireless network, so you do not need an additional wireless network. For example with the Iphone you would turn on the Wi-Fi on the GoPro and then go to the settings on the Iphone and connect to the Wi-Fi network that the GoPro is now broadcasting. You then open the GoPro app and it connects.

Hope this helps.

  • Looking for an app to edit my gopro videos? I'm looking for an app that can edit the saturation, contrast, brightness etc for my gopro videos to put on Instagram. I know gopros editing software can do this put to put it in mobile device format it drops the quality to 360p. So is there anything I can use straight off my iphone? Or if not, another computer program to edit and format it without losing the quality

  • How to unlock an iphone 5 to run on another network? I recently got the gift of an iphone 5 for Christmas, it was bought in the UK, but i live in Ireland, Even though we were told that it was unlocked when i went to use it in Ireland with a Meteor sim it comes up "sim invalid", after this i went to a Meteor shop only to find out that the phone was actually locked to an English network and that there was nothing they could do.
