GoPro Smart Remote (GoPro Official Accessory)

Again another GoPro necessity. Especially if you want those all important selfie shots. It can be a bit of a fiddle to link up to the GoPro but once you have it done just leave it as is that's what I do. I don't find it drains the battery when not in use. To link it up all you do is access the settings menu on the GoPro, switch your WiFi on and then switch RC on and hey presto everything that is on the front screen of the GoPro is on the screen of the remote. The remote has a built in battery which lasts a lot longer than the GoPro one. As it is only running that small screen which has no back light. You charge it with a usb cable that comes with it. And I have seen a lot of people asking if it is waterproof and I can say yes it is. It is waterproof to 10m. But please note that WiFi signal doesn't work underwater. Maybe useful for snorkelling or of if you are out in the rain. All in all this is a great little remote which makes life a lot easier with the GoPro. I would definitely say it is worth the price just for an easier life and better photos without your arm in it or remembering how long you have set your timer for! Happy Snapping!

Bought for use with a HERO4 silver. The pairing is easy, & duplicates the functions & screen on the camera. It may not sound the most useful item, but the ability to switch the camera on & off (recording mode) from one hand, while pointing & shooting with the camera (on a hand mount) in the other, is extremely useful & allows for a smooth recording process. It's pricey for what it is, (GoPro's motto) but it does it all seamlessly, & I wouldn't be without it. Replicating the screen gives you the confidence it's all set up to go, & the flashing red light tells you it is actually recording in the mode you want. I don't know what range it will work over, but for truly remote work it looks great. Yes you can do this with a the free phone app, not not in the palm of your hand, or as subtly..... or for as many hours on the remote battery. Another useful feature is to be able to power down both the remote & GoPro, from the remote... & wake them both back up again! The wireless part of the GoPro stays active (blue light flashes) awaiting a signal.

A question people always ask is, why spend an absurd amount of money on a remote when I can just pair my GoPro with my smartphone using the GoPro app? I found the answer through experience. Convenience. I no longer have to reach into my pocket for my phone. I no longer fear damaging my phone in a undesirable environment. My filming and photo-taking experience using my GoPro has improved dramatically with this remote. It was easy to pair it with my GoPro, done in less than a minute! Charging the remote can be done via a USB cable and it replicates the functions on the GoPro itself, hence once paired, I do not even need to touch the main device (except to set off the WiFi). I have not yet fully tested the capability of the remote, nor have I tested the battery life, but so far, my experience with it was flawless! Highly recommended for a better GoPro experience.

An excellent, well built remote for the newer GoPro 4 cameras - stable, reliable connection with combined BT / Wifi connections to help conserve power (BT is constant to activate WiFi only when needed) and lots of functionality. However... * Set up instruction are not as simple as they could be - you need to use the small LCD on the front of the GoPro 4 NOT the larger, clearer LCD on the back of the 4 Silver as there are extra functions displayed on the front screen compared to the back! * Could really do with a couple more buttons as the 3 makes accessing some menu functions more complicated than it needs to be * Strongly DISLIKE the propriety charging cable - I realise it needs to be water proof to some extent but this one is unnessariliy over engineered in my opinion. Dropped a Star due to a combination of the above but once its up and running its simple and you can trust it to start and stop the shot / video remotely, which is what counts really.

This go pro remote is great and a must have for anyone with a go pro. The differnce this makes when taking videos and photos is amazing as it makes it much more simple. The remot has a great battery life and has an amazin distance at which it will work away from the camera! The quality speaks for itself with go pro product and they have not let me down as this remote might be pricy but its worth every single penny. Hihgly reccomended

The remote paired easily with GoPro 7 Black and functioned as expected, making for much easier operation of the device when on an extended poll. It does seem to be a drain on the battery when connected, but that is to be expected. Only been using for a few days, but seems robust and well made. I do have an issue with the screen - it is small, very dim and seems very sensitive to viewing angle. If all you want to do is switch mode and operate shutter, it is fine; but if you want to change settings (other than mode) via the remote then the screen size and dim display make it difficult read and to select the required options. The screen reminds me of early digital watches; really think in this day and age GoPro could do better! Overall seems a good product, does what its supposed to do, but let down by on device display.

Può essere caro, ma è Gopro! Evitate le imitazioni e andate sul sicuro. Funzione benissimo e fa quello che deve, io l'ho usato per un Viaggio di 3 settimane negli States e devo dire che mi è stato utilissimo soprattutto per i Photo-Selfie e Video-Selfie, una comodità unica! Unica pecca che quando spegnete la Gopro dal telecomando rimane attivo il WiFi quindi dovete ogni volta disattivarlo dalla Gopro stessa altrimenti continuerà a mangiare energia alla batteria. La batteria del telecomando, invece, a me è durata tantissimo, anche con molto utilizzo. Insomma per chi cerca un controllo remoto per la propria Gopro, questo è l'oggetto che fa al caso suo!

Works great!! I'm glad I got it. I can have the Camera mounted on the front of my boat facing aft and start recording and stopping with out climbing up front to the camera....etc A real hassle without the remote. It makes it so much easier to get those shots you want. opens it up wide open on possibilities.

Buen equipo para trabajo

El mando funciona perfectamente con la GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition. Perdí el original de mi cámara hace un tiempo y he comprado este modelo nuevo con un botón extra (para las nuevas Gopro) El envío ultra rápido, lo pedí el viernes y este lunes ya lo tenía en casa. Viene con la cinta de velcro y su cargador, todo original de GoPro. Todo perfecto, encantado con la compra.

J’ai acheté cette télécommande principalement pour réaliser des films en roulant en trottinette électrique. En la fixant près de la poignée du guidon (fixation perso provenant d’un phare de vélo), cela permet de déclencher la caméra qui est fixée en bas de la trottinette, sans lâcher le guidon (extrêmement dangereux). Cela permet de déclencher la caméra seulement lorsqu’il y a un intérêt à filmer, ainsi je n’ai pas au montage du film, 36h à dérusher (monter) comme lors d’un enregistrement en continu. De cette manière, la carte mémoire n’a pas besoin d’être énorme et la caméra consomme moins de batterie puisqu’elle ne filme pas tout le temps (il est même possible d’éteindre la caméra avec tout de même une légére consommation de la batterie dû au WIFI qui consomme). Très important... comme la caméra n’est pas dans mon visuel lorsque je roule, l’écran LCD permet de contrôler avec certitude que l’enregistrement a bien commencé, tout en indiquant la durée de celui-ci. La télécommande permet de changer les modes (photo/vidéo) et les paramètres de la caméra. Cette fonction est très pratique car elle permet de ne pas avoir à dérégler l’angle de vue de la caméra pour changer de mode ou de paramètre. Elle est étanche à la poussière et aux projections d’eau Il est possible de charger la télécommande quand elle est connectée à une caméra. Je l’utilise régulièrement avec 2 caméras, et la synchro est très facile à réaliser. Les moins : j’aurais préféré une prise de charge standard Produit indispensable pour filmer mes randonnées
