Can anyone tell me if there are GoPro cameras that can be used by someone who is totally blind?

I am currently training my guide dog and would like to use a GoPro or similar camera to track our training sessions and progress.

Are there accessible action cams out there that i could control using my iPhone?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Chris, as far as I know all the GoPro cameras are accessible with the iOS GoPro app. I have the GoPro hero 2018 as it’s considerably cheaper than the other GoPro hero models and having a hero means you can change the battery, which is useful considering it only lasts about an hour when recording videos and you can buy cheap but decent spares on amazon. Hope this is of some use. I’m not particularly technical but I manage to use the GoPro hero 2018 with the app. The only thing you’ll need sighted assistance for is set up of your camera with the app. After that you can do it all. Good luck!
