I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere on the net - does the Hero3 Black have Bluetooth? So I can use the app on iPhone to control it via Bluetooth? Or is it Wifi only?

If I'm out and about and no wifi available I will want to control camera with Bluetooth. Or am I missing the point with the Go Pro wifi?

It's Bluetooth iirc

So what if there's no wifi connection where u are? In the woods cycling for example, surely it needs bluetooth to connect?

I think you completely miss understand how wifi works on the go pro. As long as your iphone/ipad within in say 10ish metres of the camera it will pick up the wifi. As the camera gives out its own wifi signal, the phone connects to that.
Sorry but lol at thinking it goes all the way through the internetz and needs a broadband connection to the camera etc.

I'm used to Apple TV and things like that which are controlled by sharing the same wifi Internet connection so yeah, I did misunderstand the Go Pro wifi. Thank you for explaining it to me, but I don't really see the need for the 'lolz'. So I didn't know something you did, well done.

Think about it logically, what use would an outdoor action camera be if it needed to be connected to the Internet.
Never used Apple TV before, but guessing that streams films from the Internet?
If it streams them from another mac/pc in the house, that would also technically work in he middle of a wood as long as there was power and a router.
Anyway, you turn wifi on on the go pro, then connect to it with the iPhone through settings like connecting to any other wifi network, then open the go pro app and you get a live view and all the controls, it's good stuff.

Dont think Bluetooth has the bandwidth to transmit live audio and video.

Thanks. That's why I asked the question in the first place because it didn't make sense and I didn't want to spuff £360 so thought I'd check with CS!
The Gopro has its own wifi network that your phone or tablet can connect to.

Because its eBay! Wasn't 100% sure on and why there only £210 on there.

Where's the best place to buy Roll-cage mount

^^^^^^^ Thanks , I'll take a look
I hardwired my old go pro - just cut a hole in the casing and ran a 5m USB cable down the roll cage to a cigarette lighter socket with a usb adaptor in it
