G'day gopro people, I just bought a go pro to try and capture as much of my trip to Hawaii as possible. I know the basics behind working it but how do I go about storing my footage to free up my memory card if I'm not taking a computer. I am taking an iPad but I'm not sure if that helps or not. Any simple ideas would be appreciated (because I have a simple tech brain)
Cheers Marcus.

The iPad idea might work but it's not ideal.. What iPad do you have and how big is the memory?

iPad 1 will not take iMovie.. but iPad 2 and after will.. Download the iMovie app.

Record your vids in 720.. not 1080.. and that will help heaps.

One Maliko run will use all of an 8G SD card so it will only take half a dozen runs and your iPad will be full.

I'm thinking if you use iMovie each night to edit out the 90% of the vid that's not going to be used each run and delet the rest you will save heaps of space on your iPad.

Maybe even set your still camera to record smaller image files.. It all helps.. Those little card readers that plug into your iPad work great and don't cost much.

Class 10 SD card

Marcus,
I got myself an EyeFi wi fi sd card. Will transmit to your iPad without needing to take it out.have used it in gopro many times.download the app to iPad etcetera

Just faced the exact same problem myself... 1x 32Gb card and 1x 64 Gb Ipad 3 (half filled with Peppa Pig).
Heading to Bali.. what do I do?

Well this is the ultimate solution (although for the more advanced tech heads).

1. Jailbreak Ipad (very easy to do)
2. Install iFile (like windows explorer)
3. Buy 1x Camera connection kit
4. Buy 1x 1Tb portable HDD USB 3.0/2.0 - comes with a single cord USB - Micro USB 3.0 **Cable 1 **
5. Acquire normal USB cable (other end can be anything, micro, mini whatever.. as long as on end you can plug into a wall charger) ** Cable 2**

now for the fun bit...
6. Carefully strip USB 3 cable **Cable 1** exposing black and red wires - DO NOT CUT THEM
7. Cut the end of the normal USB **Cable 2** and peel back the covering until you see all foure wires (R,G,B +W)
8. Strip Red and Black wires (you can cut off the W+G they are for data only)
9. Twist Red and black from **cable 2** to **Cable 1**
10. Tape up wires with electrical tape, then tape up both cables.
11. you now have a Y Cable.

now plug it in
12. Plug the Micro USB 3.0 end into HDD, plug the one normal USB end into the iphone/ipad wall charger. Do this first to power up HDD or iPad wont recognise it. Then plug other normal USB end into the camera connection kit attached the iPad.
13. Open iFile
14. WOOHOO you have access to 1Tb of storage.


At the end of each day I copy my card contents on the iPad (using iFile) into a folder called gopro
I then plug in HDD
Copy (well cut and paste) contents from go pro folder to HDD.

So now I have a tiny HDD and one cable in my camera bag which provides all the storage I need. :D

EDIT: HDD must be formatted to FAT32 you can do this on your PC or Mac. (HFS works as well if you know what that is)
