GoPro professional anglers Brent Ehrler,
Gerald Swindle and Brandon Palaniuk just updated
their GoPro cameras and smart phone apps with the
latest GoPro technology. The new app and matching
firmware for the GoPro camera's will allow the
anglers to instantly shoot a photo or video and upload through a number of
channels including social media, email and messaging.
GoPro released the new software to the public earlier
this week. The pros are all in agreement that the new update will allow them
quicker access to their fans, family and friends. Palaniuk
is especially excited about the ease of its use, "This will eliminate
steps between the time I take the photo or video, and the time I get it to
everyone. Before, I had to use a laptop to download the photo and video and
then find a WiFi hotspot and upload it to the
internet. With this I can shoot a cool photo and upload it immediately to my
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts for everyone
to see."
Swindle believes it will allow his followers closer access to him. "Used
correctly with social media this can actually become a new aged type of reality
show. My fans can follow me almost to the minute and see what I am up to. This
is really what bass fishing has needed. We'll be able to give fans a behind the
scenes look at life as a professional angler."
Ehrler agrees with Palaniuk
and Swindle that it will help him reach his fans, family and friends quicker
and easier. Ehrler added it'll also be great way for
him to keep up with his two year old son while he's on the road. "Kelley (Ehrler's wife) can take one of my cameras along and when
something fun or new happens with Ollie she can send it to me right away.
Except during tournament hours, I could be fishing on the Red River in
Louisiana and be able to keep up with anything I might miss. It's not as good
as being there, but it's better than seeing it tomorrow or next week. "
The new GoPro technology isn't just for the
professional angler. Anyone with a GoPro and a smart
phone can take advantage of this new technological advance by GoPro. Ehrler suggests, "Any
angler wanting to share their experiences on and off the water with others can
use this new update. GoPro's have always provided
high quality footage and now with the ability to share it immediately it opens
up a whole new level of sharing experiences; such as the fight of a huge bass
or the first steps or words of a child. GoPro set the
standard in action video and now they are setting the standard in near realtime access to high quality video."
While the technology is new, most GoPro cameras can
be updated to handle it very easily. Visit GoPro.com for more information. To
