    Comes in really handy when it comes to action sports or activities when your camera is not on your hands. It's worth spending on these.

    Smart remote works great. Perfect for your go pro pole to take pictures easier, or to start video when the camera is out of reach.

    Great accessory w/ some limitations

    Once you've synced this up with your GoPro, this remote is an excellent accessory to your equipment. Although you can use your phone/pad to control in the same manner, the range and response is much better. Also, is easier to use if your situation requires use of your hands whether on your wrist like a watch or on the lanyard (both provided). For example, when I put the GoPro on my dog during training, I needed my hands free to throw the bumpers. I also used it on my fishing rod and again manually controlling the camera and/or using a phone is not possible. My only complaint was when I used it for snorkeling. Although not a dig against the device itself but rather the laws of physics come into play. The signal does not pass through water. Thus, using the wrist band to turn on and off when I saw something of interest was not possible. The remote battery life is good since it still had a charge after using two GoPro camera batteries. The price is up there for an accessory, but why scrimp now after buying the camera and avoid the hassle of manual or phone control and worse, why risk miss capturing your best shot/video ever.

    A Must Have for Any GoPro

    Works great, so much better control than using the buttons manually on the camera. You can adjust all your settings from a distance, this is nice when you have your camera set on a subject and do not want to touch the GoPro and move it off its subject. You can turn it on/off, start recording and more.

    Works great if camera is out of reach. Does you the battery on camera much faster. This limits camera time dramatically, so beware.

    Not sure its really necessary, but if you wanted to set your camera up and then remotely start it, it would be a good tool to use.

    Very easy to use! Most of the time we use the strap so we can just put it around our wrist, more accessible than the keychain.

    No bells and whistles, but it works as it was advertised, and it works pretty far away from the camera. Is it worth the money yes.
