    Would not pair with the camera. Could be because I had loaded the GoPro app on my camera, but my camera was not with me. Camera didn't work.....remote didn't work. Total disappointment with GoPro products.

    Bought this remote the day before leaving on a 2 week vacation and the charger was broken out of the box. Now with Bestbuys 15 day return policy I have a $80 piece of junk.

    Bought this to control two cameras on each end of an ice rink while I sit in the middle. It can never make it a single period without one or both cameras dropping out. GoPro seems unconcerned they grossly overstate the range.

    This item was a complete waste of money. Does not work with the new Hero5. Intermittently will start the recording process IF...and I say IF it's in the correct mode. Remote will not cycle thru modes. Worthless!

    Doesn’t pair with my go pro version I have now. We should be able to connect off them given all the money it cost.

    Great idea having a remote, however GoPro missed the boat here with the design. You can't read what's on the screen. It's not dark enough.

    This is an absolute must if you are going to be using the extension pole as there is no other way to release the shutter. It is well made and works well in most conditions. Useful accessory allowing remote recording. Setup is still necessary to get best video angle and quality.
