3. Configure your GoPros

Each camera is identified by its serial number, which Go2Kin uses to derive the camera's USB IP address (172.2X.1YZ.51:8080).

Find the serial numbers

Instructions from GoPro - find your GoPro serial number

Enter them in the config

In go2kin_config.json, set gopro_serial_numbers to your cameras' serials (one entry per camera, up to four).

On-camera settings

Most settings are applied automatically each time a camera connects — see Bottom bar for the full list.

Optional: settings discovery tool

Different GoPro versions (9/10/11/12/13) have slightly different API endpoints available GoPro HTTP API reference. The settings discovery tool sends a request for each setting in turn, with an invalid option, so the GoPro returns a list of available options. It then builds a list of available settings for this camera.

You should only need this tool if you're using a different model than Hero 11 (and even then, we don't guarantee it works 100% as there seems to be out-of-date info in the API doc).

Run once per camera model/firmware to generate a settings reference file in config/settings_references/ (maps setting IDs to human-readable names and options):

python tools/discover_camera_settings.py <camera_serial_number>
