    Nice but not a must have - you can use the app to do the same if you are ok with having your phone be the remote.

    This remote camera is great for videoing from a distance or when in a hunting style application. Just be sure to cover the blinking red light on the Go Pro.

    Good product and works well with GoPro Session. BUT 1 major flaw is the screen is hard to see in direct sunlight.

    Very helpful when the camera is out of reach. I haven't used it extensively yet, but it seems to work well. I like that it has a rechargeable battery.

    This is a good remote. It works better than any aftermarket remote. It’s also around 10 bucks less at Best Buy than other stores

    Great accessory that I didn't know I wanted until I had it. It's great to take pics while in action and the camera is strapped on to something.

    Cannot change battery

    I didn't know about not being able to change the battery prior to asking for it as a Christmas gift. It was NOT in the description or reviews at that time! (12/2015) I have NOT yet used the camera! I wanted it for my dog's view of agility runs. She became sick before I had a chance to use it. Still waiting. I wouldn't "recommend" it due to having to buy a new camera when the battery is used up. A pretty expensive "disposable camera" for my pockets!
