Hi, Andy. I had a GoPro Hero4 Silver, and yes, a blind person can use
it. However, you should have a sighted person put it into video mode
before you leave for training. You use the top button to start the
video, and to stop it. When you stop the video, you get three beeps to
know that that's what happened.
The above said, however, a GoPro Hero5 would be better, as it has voice
control. For example, you can say "GoPro start video" and "GoPro stop
recording". Suggest you buy the Hero5 Session for $299. Hope this
helps.--Matt & Quill.

Hi all.
Thinking of doing some video recording to send to family and friends,
in particular, my up-coming guide dog training.
I'm thinking of buying a Go Pro 4 Silver 32GB and a set of Binaural
external micropones to capture these podcasts.
This camera has a single button to turn the device on and start
recording.
That's all I know about it apart from the fact that the screen is a
touch screen and does not have anything like voice over.
So, given the high cost of this camera microphone set up, I'm a little
concerned that as a totally blind person, I'd be unable to use this
camera.
Has anyone on this list any experience of using a Go Pro camera who
could give me a little advice please.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
