GoPro Underwater WiFi Antenna Hack
Ойын-сауық
I use my Gopro for everything and that includes taking it along in the boat for a day on the lake fishing. The only negative I have found is the WiFi does not transmit to the phone while the GoPro is submerged in as little as 1/2" of water which sucks when trying to lineup a shot of a fish on the line under water.
A couple years ago I built a mount that has served me well and I thought I'd share with you how it is built and how I'm able to use the cameras WiFi while the camera is submerged in water.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Side note, you have THE most Canadian accent I’ve ever heard, and I mean that in a good way

Neat hack. 👍🏻👍🏻 I bet if you soldered a full wave cubicle quad driven element to each end of your coax you wouldn’t have any drop out or lag at all.

Thanks, I’m sure it can definitely be better, for now it does the job but I may have to upgrade at some point 😁 Cheers 🍻

VAN CITY RC it’s an easy upgrade. 4.8” of wire formed into a square and soldered to the shield and center conductor at each end. 😃

Have you tried it in sea water? Am wondering if the conductivity of sea water reduces the signal transfer from the camera to the cable.....

No I have never actually thought about trying it in sea water. I’ll see about giving it a try and film a video. Have a great day 👍💯
you have to cut the end at a certain length. 2.4 inches I believe. it has to do with how antennas work and how radio waves transmit

Loved that idea, will use it to explore hidden depths😊, I have a question you may be able to help with, I use a Hero 7 and 8 Black and woul d like to know if I can control my cameras with a remote, without WiFi,I have two of the older two button remotes which will control my two remotes via WiFi, what I would like is not to use wifi(as this creates crackling on my audio), is there another way? Voice is not consistent enough? Thanks and hope you can help, stay safe🍻

I believe you are able to use a remote over Bluetooth if I’m not mistaken. I’ll look into it see if I can come up with anything and let you know if I do

No I don’t, very easy to make just need some coaxial cable a waterproof case, zip ties and some mounting pads. Probably cost less than $20 including the waterproof case
Cool cool cool. 👍💯NC MOUNTAINS 🏞backyard RC AND MORE.
