🎥 Connecting a GoPro Camera to Snap360

Upgrade the quality of your 360° videos by connecting an external GoPro camera. Follow these simple steps to configure it using a USB Cable (recommended) or Wi-Fi.

⚙️ 1. Preliminary Setup in the App

  1. Open Snap360 and go to Settings > GoPro Settings.

  1. Adjust the desired FPS (frames per second).

  2. Activate "Delete files automatically". This deletes the video from the GoPro once it is transferred to your phone so you don't run out of storage space on the camera.

🔌 2. Choose Connection Method

First, in the Snap360 app, accept the Bluetooth permission and refresh the list to select your GoPro. Then, choose how you want to connect it:

Option A: Via USB Cable (Faster and more stable ⚡)

  1. On your GoPro, go to the menu and turn on the Wireless connections option. Tap Connect new device and select GoPro Quik App to put it into pairing mode.

  2. Important: Do not connect the cable before this step.

  3. Use an adapter (Lightning or USB-C) and connect the GoPro cable to your phone.

  4. Wait for the GoPro screen to say "USB connected".

  5. In the app, tap USB Connection. Done!

Option B: Via Wi-Fi (Wireless 📶)

  1. Just like with USB: On your GoPro, you must first go to the menu and make sure Wireless connections is enabled. Tap Connect new device and select GoPro Quik App.

  2. In the app, tap Wi-Fi Connection.

  3. Accept the Location permission (this is mandatory for the phone to detect the camera's Wi-Fi network).

  4. The app will pair via Bluetooth and ask you to join the GoPro's Wi-Fi network. Tap Connect.

🎬 3. Let's record!

  • Permissions: If this is your first time using the app, accept the access permissions for the camera, microphone, and photos.

  • Position: Place your phone vertically, as the app records in 9:16 format.

  • Test: Use the motion sensor. Move the camera; it will record the video and automatically send it to your phone for processing.

Please note: Processing GoPro videos may take a little longer than usual. This is because the files have much higher quality and more FPS. The final time will depend on the performance of your phone.

To turn it off or change cameras, simply tap Disconnect in the app.
