The Capture app gives you the ability to take complete control of your GoPro HERO5 remotely. You can change settings like white balance and be able to hit record when your GoPro is in a hard-to-reach location or on an athlete. In this movie, author Richard Harrington walks you through how set up and use the Capture App with the GoPro HERO5 Session.
