interference using a gopro camera
 
Has anyone had any bad interference with GPS using a gopro Hero3 camera. Read on this site people had problems... but looking closely, I see they were using a Hero2 camera not the new Hero3.

Yes, the new GoPro has wifi which will mess with gps. You have to shield the camera. There are kits out that will encase it in copper foil.

A few interesting videos I've seen. I know these cameras are noisy and if anyone having trouble here's the fix.

This is what I've done to mine. I've never had any issues with my Mobius since this.
