  1. TBS The Beaconsfield School –

    It’s a good idea to have one of these remotes if you carry a number of GoPro’s in your kit bag. The remote can have up to 50 GoPro’s paired via the GoPro WiFi comms option and makes syncing of content capture simple to do. I can have up to 4 GoPro’s set up at any one time, usually placed around my motorbike or sometimes on other riders bikes. As long as you are within around 10 meters you can simply hit a the record button and have them all trigger at the same time.The remote also gives you the option to change the capture state (and other settings) of your GoPro’s from video/loop to photo modes. Great if you are using GoPro Sessions which are always fiddly to configure. The biggest advantage is that you can start and stop recording capturing only of the content you want without having to have the camera’s rolling all the time. This saves you having to trawl through vast amounts of unwanted video when editing, but more importantly saves space on your SD card and also extends the battery life of the power hungry GoPro’s, which means you don’t miss out on crucial action shots.

    Got this specifically for a job involving large machinery (bulldozers) where I would need to set the cameras up & then activate at specific times and needed to do it remotely as once the dozers were in action I couldn’t stop them.Had multiple issues getting the cameras to connect & stay connected so I updated both (Hero 7 Black) to the latest firmware, then again manually, reset the ‘smart’ remote. Seemed to work ok in the office although when the battery is changed they reset and you have to pair again (this is a ‘feature’ according to the GoPro rep on their help chat).Got on site, paired the cameras & remote, the dozers started work and the remote completely failed to pick up either camera. They were less than 20m from me and still no connection whatsoever. I wasted an entire day’s filming thanks to this hopeless remote and the opportunity to film this was a one off. I was fuming.I had also hoped that GoPro might have worked out how you could control multiple cameras independently with the remote but it either switches them both on & off at the same time or not at all, as in my experience.GoPro connectivity has always been flaky in my experience but these days this is unacceptable. Very disappointed.

    screen fails miserably

  4. CHV –

    Hopeless, not fit for purpose

  5. Raymundo Lanzar –

    1) the screen is too small and is the lettering, the physical dimensions are fine, but the size of the LCD screen needs to be larger, letters on screen need to be a lot bigger.2) In normal sunlight the screen LCD goes dark/black and I am unable to read anything on the screen.3) Once you have paired both the gopro and remote, it all works perfectly, however it only works for a short while(15-20min) and then the remote no longer communicates with camera and none of the remote functionality works – at all, this happens all the time.

  6. Kerstin Gertel –

    Works well WHEN it connects, which isn’t always. This is probably down to the GoPRo and not the remote, but overal its a poor communication system.The screen is just a joke though. Very hard to see, even in good lighting. Ive used it a few times but on the whole its let me down more than its been useful so i dont rely on it. Very over priced.

  7. Rasna Cleetus –

    Gopro not like it used to be it seems

  8. MS SUSAN J LATIMER –

    Ok, so I haven’t used this in anger yet, but I have powered it up and connected it to my GoPro 5 Black. Contrary to so much on the web that says these two don’t synch very well, well they do now. I hardly had to do anything except instruct the two to “connect” and they did. The controls this device give are superb. And when you turn the remote off, the GoPro turns off too.

  9. R. White –

    I am not particularly impressed by this remote control, it simply doesn’t work reliably. I wanted to use it to switch on two GoPros at the same time. I gave up and almost smashed the remote control through the wall. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it shows it’s connected, but it isn’t and sometimes it is the other way around. Actually it is rubbish and far too expensive. To be fair it works with one GoPro, but definitely not reliably with two or even more GoPros. I would never ever buy it again.
