    Not a fan. I’ve used it 3 times and had problems each time. I don’t even use it anymore with the camera. It freezes and runs out of battery after a few days of sitting in the off position.

    This remote may work well with one camera, but it was very frustrating with three. All my GoPros are less than one year old. It would not stay synced as advertised. Retuned disappointed. User results may vary.

    Overpriced, basically useless. Battery doesn't last, uses proprietary cable. More of a last resort sort of thing. Try to get by without it if you can.

    The unit (and camera) were purchased for underwater photography. Many buy the GoPro for just that reason. It shouldn't be an unrealistic expectation for the remote to operate underwater. It does not.

    We wanted this remote for self shots mostly outside while on vacation. Unfortunately the product requires wifi which is not readily available in the rainforest.

    used it very little and now just getting around to try and use it. unfortunately it will not power up and out of warranty. guess these are made to be disposable. GoPro only offered a discount on a new camera. I'd prefer you take care of the smart remote which would be less expensive than the discount they tried to offer me for a camera, which i dont need. definitely wouldn't buy again.

    I bought the camera and accessories for my trip to Hawaii had issues with everything!! I had to lock the screen because the water would change settings. The control wouldn't always work. It was very frustrating as we keep having to retake pictures because the remote wouldn't take them. I don't recommend it.
