With just two options, it’s kinda hard to get yourself in a pickle. toggle between the video modes), I’d say the simplicity here arguably makes it easier to use. While some might argue that it’d be nice to have the ability to change GoPro photo/video modes (e.g. Still, I imagine this will limit my use of this feature since deleting and recreating the pairing is just one more thing to do. I suppose if there’s a bright side, it’d be that the pairing process literally takes 3-5 seconds, so it’s pretty quick. However, they did note they’ve got some workaround ideas. COROS says this is a limitation of the GoPro developer interface at this time (but my reading of the GoPro SDK specs says pretty clearly that in theory, the BLE connection is saved for future connections). Now the only downside here (which is moderate) is that the pairing doesn’t save after you power off the camera. This menu is accessible anytime in sport or non-sport modes, just by holding the button and going to camera control. The timer will update if in video recording mode, and properly stop the timer whether stopped from the watch or from the GoPro. And then tap the digital crown to either start recording or take a photo: Use the digital crown (scroll wheel) to simply scroll between photo and video mode (just those two modes). It’s super simple.Īnd with that, you’ve got GoPro camera control, which is dead simple. Then tap ‘Connect Device’ on the GoPro and choose GoPro Quik, while meanwhile, on the COROS watch hold the lower right button to access the system menu, and go to ‘Camera Control’Ī couple of seconds later, they’ll find each other and magically pair. So, grab your GoPro, turn it on, and swipe down from the top, then over so you see the ‘Connections’ menu: Thus it’s not a COROS limitation, but a GoPro one. The reason it only supports those cameras is that as part of the SDK /API bits GoPro released this summer, that only support the Hero 9 and Hero 10 at this point. The camera control supports the GoPro Hero 9 & 10 action cams. Here’s the current plan:ĬOROS Vertix & APEX Pro (Today, Nov 22nd): Topo/map features, Walk Mode, Galileo Support, ANT+ power meter control, action cam control, new light key shortcut, Italian language supportĬOROS Pace 2 (Wednesday, Nov 24th): Walk Mode, Galileo Support, ANT+ power meter control, action cam control, new light key shortcut, Italian language support, increased multisport mode to support five sports (from three), added Distance option in Workouts rest lap (No Komoot Route Sync, as the Pace 2 doesn’t do routes)ĬOROS Vertix 2 (Monday, Nov 29th): Walk mode, Komoot Route sync, action camera control, added Distance option in Workouts rest lapĬOROS APEX (December): Galileo Support, Komoot Route Syncįinally, it’s worthwhile noting that in the details provided to the media, COROS states that this will be the last ‘feature’ update for the base APEX units anymore, as they don’t have any more space – specifically quotable: “APEX storage has reached its limit and we won’t be able to add more new features to the watch, except performance optimization in the future.”īut as noted, they are promising “performance optimization” in the future, which would assumedly also include any bug fixes along the way, though COROS doesn’t tend to list bug fixes on their release notes as well as some other companies do. Now, these updates will roll out on different days over the next week for the different watch models. And for cyclists, the Pace 2/Vertix 1/APEX PRO gets ANT+ power meter calibration. To go with that, units get a new ‘Walk’ sport mode, and also Galileo support (if they didn’t have it already). Meanwhile, they’ve added Komoot Route Sync support, joining the Strava Route Sync support added last month. This makes COROS the second watch company, after Amazfit (and GoPro’s own now-deprecated Apple Watch app) to add support for it using the new SDK, enabling you to switch modes on your GoPro Hero 9 or Hero 10, while also shooting photos and videos. And as usual, most watches get all these updates, no matter the age. Another month, another substantial COROS watch firmware update.
