This is what I need to do every morning when I get to the office and again when I get home etc... tedious.</p> <p>More googling tells me that the 'full loop' function is possible, but only via the mobile app and can't be set to default, so needs to enabled / re-set up each time camera is powered on.</p> <p>not going to happen - I spend more time messing with the camera than I do on everything else put together. Ebay beckons i think. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17940#post-255610 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 11:57:12 +0000 dougal 255610@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Iain McR - does it have a reset or reformat button on the device? The Contour Roam had this which was reasonably effective at bypassing the need to attach it to a computer to delete useless video. The configuration seemed to persist through the formatting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17940#post-255609 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 11:46:37 +0000 acsimpson 255609@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have an old GoPro 3 and haven't been too impressed by it as an everyday camera. It gives some great footage but is aimed more at film makers than bikecam market. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17940#post-255313 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 11:04:21 +0000 dessert rat 255313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone got a GoPro 4 and managed to work out how to get it to loop so it overwrites the memory and is able to use the whole SD card ?</p> <p>I have it set up in that config, but unless I go in each day and delete any old files, it only loops/overwrite the current capture plus any free space. Old files are protected/off limits.</p> <p>So as I understand, this means that if I have a 32gb card, with an old ie 12gb file from yesterday and say 20gb free, then I can only record on 20gb. Say I use another 15gb today and don't delete anything, then tomorrow I'll have only 5gb, and so on.</p> <p>I’ve googled around and it seems to be a fairly common complaint with no fix.</p> <p>I really hate my GoPro, by far the most un-user friendly gadget I have ever had.</p> <p>#shouldhaveboughtthefly12 </p>
