Nice thinking on your feet. The Gopro is the worst over wifi and is best to hard wire, at least from my experience.

On setup, it demanded a mobile device to sync with. Otherwise, I would have skipped the iPad altogether.
It was handy to use the iPad as a sort of monitor and test device during setup, but I hate how everything Apple makes is a walled garden resistant to anyone trying tonuse it outside the parameters some Apple bigwig chose to allow.
I have neither owned or will own anything made by Apple. I have always, since the early 90s, had a strong dislike for Apple/Mac. The propitiatory nature of the company has always pissed me off and everything has always been way over priced. But I feel as strongly about Google for different reasons but they are far more pervasive in everyday life than Apple and harder to avoid in many cases. Android is a Google product.
I know. One of the reasons I am playing with Linux and the Raspberry Pi is to find alternatives to the megacorporations.
It's fine if you use it as a regular camera, but trying to remotely operate it using the app is always a nightmare. I gave up on trying to use it as a head-cam for that reason. I think camera glasses are the way to go.
