They keep offering upgrades that will solve problems but of course they don’t and you’re just screwed.
Useless instructions. Useless to use. I could not even connect either of my Gopro Hero5 Black or Gopro Hero cameras.
The install video for Hero9 Black does not mention the required step for clicking the "Quik App".
Camera Tools for GoPro Heros app hangs on "Connecting" (but the MacOS Bluetooth Settings state = "Connected", but still spinning).
Latest update version on GoPro installed.
CameraTools does not work.
I thought by the cover and description that this would be a fantastic app, but no. This is a waste of $9. The Mac Apple Store needs to get a better GoPro App ASAP.
terrible connectivity waste of money
I came across the following issues:
- When time lapse/photo/raw is chosen the download manager does not ‘see’ the gpr file. It only sees the jpg files.
- There are several features that I do not understand such as “toggle’ option. No explanation is available.
- I asked to transfer the license to a different platform. I was told it was not a problem but when I followed up with a request for help, I never heard from them.
Overall a product with potential with no support and not ‘finished’ for the general user.
Good app just need to know how to see my videos it always says there is a connection error when I go to see them
I can connect my Hero 8 with ease using bluetooth, USB, or WiFi options. Thank you for finally creating an elegant solution. My only issue is not having an integratioh to stream directly to 3rd party.
Because of the larger chapter file size on later GoPros (I have a 12 Hero Black) there is no way to upload large videos from the camera to the Mac without removing the SD Card. Apple Image Capture limits upload file size to 4.29 GB. iMovie seems to have a similar limit.
In general, I think it's a bad idea to be handling SD cards excessively due to the risk of damaging them so I was looking for a solution for uploading directly from my GoPro to my Mac via a USB cable connection. CameraTools is the answer. I had an hour-long video that GoPro divided into five chapters, each file about 10 GB. CameraTools handled them without any problems and did it reasonably quickly, less than 20 minutes.
Well worth $8.99 if you're trying to manage large GoPro files.
Thank you!
Finally a way to download bigger videos from the GoPro without have to take out the sdcard!
I was skeptical at first but after struggling with GoPro’s Open API decided to give this a try and it does everything I want to and some more.
This works great. Harold has replied quickly with support too.
