    This remote is easy to use and works great. I wish it had a screen so you could tell if what you intend to shoot is in the frame, but for the money it's a good deal.

    I purchased the Smart Remote so I could stop and start my GoPro Hero4 while I was kayaking. It worked perfectly and made it easy to stop and start the camera.

    Overall is a useful addition to your gopro. Especially when on the long drives where you want to capture surroundings while driving. I know there's the option to connect to the phone but in my case i was using it for navigation and other stuff so remote was a great helper. Had issues with connection though... not sure why. Also covers on the top of the camera would make it worse. I used diving harness.

    I didn’t think that I would use it that often. But once I started using it, I use it all the time. It’s very convenient and easy to use!

    Does what it suppose to do. A little difficult to setup, but once you have it paired with a camera, it works very well.

    I like to film my flying and training sessions as well as having some real live footage of where and how I do it to show others and enjoy. This remote works well as long as you aren't blocked by too many walls etc. Direct line of sight works well. All in all a good quality item, just hope it holds up. I wish they had installed a backlight though on the screen.
