Description: This is a brief guide of how to convert your GoPro Hero 3 footage to iPhone, so that you can edit it in iMovie and share it to friends on Instagram.

GoPro's lineup of mount-anywhere cameras have been dazzling extreme sports enthusiasts for years. With the GoPro 3, you can easily shoot footages with your hands free – that's pretty convenient yet safe when you are surfing, skating, snowboarding or traveling.

I'm rather fond of taking this little magic box out on vacation with great fun. However, unlike professional cameras, I always need to edit some of them. As I just got a new iPhone 5S, iMovie should be a good choice which is free to IOS 7 users.
