Never having owned an GoPro and not being very tech savvy I'm feeling quite dumb right now. I wanted to use my phone or tablet as a monitor to set-up my Side-Shot. I see the owners manual says in my case to go to the Play Store and download the Capture App. I see all these apps for GoPro control but nothing that say its the 'GoPro Capture App'. Am I looking for a specific app. or just any app. that will control my GoPro. If not any specific app. which is a good one to download.Bill
Got My GoPro Hero 5 & Side-Shot

Bill, this is the one I'm using with a GoPro 7 and an Iphone X. I haven't done a lot with it, but it will capture videos once paired with the GoPro. There are a few Youtube videos that offer instructions. Good luck!

Found a app to work. Mainly wanted it to initially to see the scopes cross hairs while getting the camera lens to focus on them. Bill

Sorry did not see your question. I am using an android app called 'GoProNow'. It is easy to set-up and make a connection between devices. I had initially downloaded the app for my phone but the resulting view of the scopes field of view is too small to use. Then I bought a 7" monitor screen to adjust the lens holding off for eye relief and could get a clear picture but it did not translate when I installed the the GoPro in the Side-Shot. You can't use the monitor with the GoPro in the Side-Shot because the HDMI cable does not allow for it. Finally I down loaded the GoProNow app to my 7" Galaxy Tablet, I did not do it at first because it said all functions might not work. I installed it yesterday and it gives a great view from the GoPro but have not been able to fine tune the view because of rainy weather. I will mention I found that the lens is in good focus at .050" below the face of the ring that holds on the lens cover. Oh by the way I am using the Peau Productions 8.25mm lens and have the GoPro fov set on wide. It fills the screen I will say about 75% which is not too bad. I am going to make a short video now to show what I mean. Bill
