Worked like a charm with my Hero 3, and the price was right!!
-
The price on Amazon is better than in Best Buy or on the GoPro site
-
I feel a fair price would have included the lanyard/ mounting kit.
-
Loving the quality of this item, better than expected and at a great price.

Significantly increased the range of the camera as compared to the remote that came with my GoPro Hero 3.

I got this remote as a bundle with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver from other online website.

I had teh camera on my head during our vacation nd having the Smart Remote on my wrist was great... being able to control all aspects of my GoPro Hero 4 Black

The GoPro Smart Remote is essential if you need a remote to operate your GoPro Hero 4
-
I connect my GoPro Hero 4 to my tablet, with the GoPro app, and then under "settings" I can turn on the wireless remote AND have the camera view on my tablet

definitely something you need if you plan on taking your go pro on long out door adventures -- this works well and is super helpful if you want to make your battery last all day -- we really wish we had this when we went
-
Worked great for about a month, then suddenly stopped working
-
This one works well with my GoPro Silver and also works well within the App.
-
This remote works really well, but only outside of the water.

-
Works as advertised, but I did find the battery on the remote doesn't last quite as long as I thought it would
-
Doesn't work under water as advertised, and after didn't worked not underwater

As expensive as this equipment is, it should work as advertised.
-
works beter than the phone control, great with a selfie stick and tripod as well as when it is on the bow of the boat!!!

Reviews around way (4.40 of 5)
-
I bought this remote after GoPro's customer service mentioned, more than once, that this remote was the absolute best remote way to control my two GoPros
-
I like it .. very useful , But I dislike the way its work "wireless" so if I don`t have
-
What a great way to remote control GoPro cameras remotely with one device.
-
I have hero 3+ cameras, my dad has hero 4, and his remote acts the same way
-
there is no easy way of seeing which cameras are on except to actually look at them, which kind of defeats the purpose of the remote.

Reviews around gopro (3.70 of 5)
-
Another poor gopro decision/product that they will not back up.
-
The GoPro Smart Remote is a perfect addition to a camera mounted remotely
-
TO BAD GOPRO ISNT BEING VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND TRUTHFULL
-
It really drains your GoPro because you have to leave the camera on and in WiFi mode.
-
Love my GoPro but this remote was a waist of money in my opinion.

Well worth the money, and I should have just ordered it sooner.

So if you want to use it underwater, don't waste your money.

Seriously don’t purchase unless you like wasting your money.

I paid good money for a new controller and that's not what I got.

and when you get into salt water it loses connectivity with the GoPro.

Reviews around connection (1.88 of 5)

It would be a better product if the connections were reliable
-
This remote looses connection to the Session 5 constantly.
-
The moment we hit the water snorkeling, the remote would lose its wifi connection to the camera.

loses connection under water and now after a few uses won't function or turn on altogether.

Reviews around bite (1.44 of 5)
-
also it won,t even charge anymore after i charged it the first time
-
Less than average battery life, a bit disappointed with this
-
On the downside, the price does seem a bit steep--but I figure I'm partially paying for the name "GoPro".
-
The only drawback is that it does seem to drain the battery a bit faster since the two devices are constantly connected, but they were generally able to have it last most of their rides during the day.

Reviews around cable (1.29 of 5)
-
Proprietary charging cable, you must use the one provided
-
I don't like that it uses a proprietary charging cable; although it makes sense as they wanted to avoid the small opening needed for standard USB connection which would collect dirt; I just have to carry yet another charging cable around.
-
works beter than the phone control, great with a selfie stick and tripod as well as when it is on the bow of the boat!!!
-
Combine a non-intuitive user interface, the inability to relaibly connect with my Hero 6, unpredictable battery life, a funky atypical charging cable, a form factor that is awkward, and the fact that camera remotes are not hard
-
I use this on my motorcycle handlebars.. works great, decent battery life, charging cable is kind of funky though, if you lose the cable, you'll have to order a new one since it's non-standar.

-
Be sure that those contact points are free of dirt and debris

Use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol or a toothpick to clean the metal contacts on the bottom of the remote as a troubleshooting step.
