It's because you're using an unsupported camera

[alduxvm]

Wow! dunno how I missed that...

Maybe that list could be added to the pip documentation? https://gopro.github.io/OpenGoPro/python_sdk/index.html

[tcamise-gpsw]

no worries!

Yeah that's probably a good idea. I'll add it. I also just updated the issue templates here since this happens pretty frequently
