What is the GPC?
GPC (GoPro Connector ) lets you get live video output from your Gopro and charge its’ battery at the same time. Connect the video
out from GPC to any video transmitter to use the GoPro as your FPV camera and record HD to the SD card at the same time. Never
have to worry about your GoPro running out of battery in flight.
How to start
There are few steps before you can start using your GoPro camera with GoPro connector.
●
Check if GoPro camera is in working order and powers on from internal battery. Check GoPro camera with LCD backpack if
possible.
●
Connect GPC 22 pin socket to GoPro camera
●
Supply 3 pin connector with 5V, GND connect Video Out cable.
●
Power on GoPro camera
●
Enjoy live video
IMPORTANT:
Make sure 3 pin connector is powered with 5V. Otherwise GPC Connector will not work. The GPC works by tricking
the GoPro into believing there is an LCD backpack accessory installed. This is what enables the GPC to get live video out.
