    I like that there is a dedicated remote for the gopro. The only problem is the battery life which is only good for about an hour.

    I returned this remote b/c it did not do what I expect. It turns on the camera and turns it off while the stick is extended. Beyond that it does not have other features.

    Other products have way better remotes. Needs a screen like other products, because currently you need a device with the app, the remote, and the camera to get ready to record.

    It works. No big deal about it. Have not had for long but the only thing I notice is the battery drains pretty fast.

    Not reliable

    Connection to cameras is not reliable. Typically I use 2 GoPro's setup about 100 yards apart, open flat terrain, I'm in between never further than 50 yards from at least one. Sometimes remote works on both, sometimes on neither, sometimes on only one, always never know which is working. Display screen on remote doesn't clearly show camera status all the time. So I've given up using it. Now I turn both cameras on and just let it record everything as long as possible

    It is always shutting off and has little quirks not to mention you need to be connected to wifi for it to function.

    the user interface is very clunky, the lack of dedicated buttons make using the gopro difficult and tedious. i was expecting better image quality.

    Giving this 3 stars because it does not have a lcd or led backlit panel. So in the dark, you can’t see what mode camera is in!
