I am happy to see active development on the Mapillary app for Android. Since Mapillary has now fully adopted the GoPro MAX2 and the camera comes with the Open GoPro remote control protocol, can we expect to see Open GoPro integration with the Mapillary app?

Although for now the GoPro Connect SDK for Android mentions HERO13 Black as the only SDK supported camera, MAX2 could nevertheless be made controllable via Bluetooth or HTTP over Wi-Fi already. I would be eager to have MAX2 Bluetooth remote control in the Mapillary app. Should you consider to implement Open GoPro for MAX2 then please do not use Wi-Fi for remote control despite it perhaps looking easier to implement at first glance because Wi-Fi is horribly energy inefficient for this task compared to BLE. :wink: Wi-Fi has been designed for high throughput and low latency over medium distances in buildings, not for energy efficiency like Bluetooth. Thanks!
