Hey guys, wondering if you can help or advise.

 

Iv just bought the go pro 3, and im looking to buy a remote.

from what ive seen on the go pro site, it doesnt look like they come with a Velcro wrist strap? can anyone confirm this?

 

Where did you buy yours from?

 

Thankyou in advance.

No, it doesn't come with one. You can't buy one at the minute either GoPro discontinued the velcro strap so you either have to phone around and see if anyone has old stock (unlikely) or buy another velcro strap and fashion it yourself.

 

There will be a new kit coming out but as yet GoPro have not released it, see here GoPro Wi-Fi Remote Mounting Kit - Pre Order | London Camera Exchange

I just picked up my Hero 3 Black yesterday, really nice menu's and IMO much easier to use than my previous one. Can't wait to start using it properly.

[Martin B Doyle]

Thanks Nick. iv never used them before so its probly gunna take me a while to get used to it.

 

as for the remote its self, where did you get your from?

 

iv seen this.. Buy GoPro Wi-Fi BacPac at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Cameras and camcorders, Camera case accessories, Limited stock Technology.

 

is it the right one?

[Nick Watkins]

No, that remote and Wifi back is for the previous versions of the GoPro.

 

As you have the Hero 3, regardless of the model it's got the Wifi built in so all you need is the remote not the Wifi back. I have no idea if that remote will work with the Hero 3 but as that package is £10 cheaper than the remote by itself (albeit in the Argus sale) I would stay clear incase you end up with something that wont pair to the Hero 3)

 

You need this one GoPro | Wifi Remote

 

I'm in the US for a couple of weeks so picked up my GoPro here, stock of them in the UK has been difficult to find and the blacks have been going for silly money on ebay. It's also much cheaper and with the exchange rate in my favour it was rude not to buy a few

 

One of the best places to get the stuff from in the UK though is dogcamsport which is the link above, great service.
