[@alaingrenier663]

very well explained ,good job my friend👍👍

[@rolandkeith5322]

Good video buddy well expressed ....one of the best.

[@GodSpeed3]

Thank you for the great information Sir.

[@Tech4Baba]

Glad to hear! Thanks for watching and letting me know, GodSpeed! Did you end up with one or the other?

[@GodSpeed3]

@@Tech4Baba I ended up choosing The Remote by Gopro.

[@farooqsalman9551]

Thank you so much

[@Tech4Baba]

Thanks for watching, Farooq! Which one did you end up getting?

[@MrBirdshell666]

i ve bought a Yoctop for less than 1/5 price of this gopro remote, ARMTE-003 is ridiculously expensive. damn it even has a wifi connectivity feature to allow firmware upgrades, now it supports hero12. yoctop's battery life is only 3,5h (435mah) though, had to upgrade the battery to 900mah, spent another 3$...

[@MrRijubratapal]

If I trigger two GoPro Hero 9, will they start/stop recording at the exact same time with perfect sync with The Remote? Do the video streams match frame by frame?

[@EnduroDroneHub]

How long does “The Remote battery last ? Would I need several units through a 6-8hr enduro riding day as I can change batteries in the camera but not the remote there is down time charging it again to consider 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@palmvictory]

Is there a GPS remote, which will add realtime data? I have a Hero3 Black.

[@marcel-9117]

how is the battery life? Which one is better?

[@somebody88888]

I have yoctop thing in my hand and it is not pairing with my gopro 7. But once I was able to connect it and use for control, but never had a chance to connect it again... next time I go for genue thing.

[@TheMrQuino]

Thanks for the informative video ! I was wandering , after pairing the remote and turn the camera OFF using the remote, can you turn it ON again with the remote or do you have to do it manually through the camera itself before use the remote again ? Maybe you have to pair the remote everytime ? Hope its clear ahah Thanks !

[@GeorgeMonaghan]

It will turn on the cameras for up to a period of eight hours - official. Unofficially it lasted a couple of days. There is a problem with the GoPro 12 where it drops the connection if you switch it off using the remote. It will not reconnect automatically and has to be done manually again. GoPro techs are working on the issue. The remote will not work at the same time as the "Quik" mobile app so it is either one or the other. Work around for the 12 when using multiple cameras is to use the app for that alone and the remote for the cameras or of course do not switch it off. I use a power bank and leave it switched on when working. Hope that helps.

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

Thanks for the video - I have looked through the comments - can you control 2 cameras at the same time with the 3rd party remote?

[@GeorgeMonaghan]

He says six but I thought it was only three. He will more likely be correct as he was actually using the unit.

[@fredfleming8905]

Just a FYI on GoPro remote for Hero 9. I had one for just over a year the rechargeable battery expanded so much it blew the back off the GoPro Remote. I used the remote about ten times. One good thing it didn’t catch fire. GoPro would not do anything even though the battery to me was a safety issue.

[@Tech4Baba]

Sorry to hear about that. That's certainly a safety issue! Thanks for watching and sharing, Fred! Did you replaced it with a 3rd party remote?

[@fredfleming8905]

@@Tech4Baba I have not yet but that is my plan what have you found to be a reliable replacement? Thank you for any help.

[@freetimeonline]

Can Highlights be added to videos during recording using the 3rd party remote like they can with the GoPro remote?

[@cousino36]

Best question ever.

[@smotruns]

Why couldn't Gopro's miracle engineers make the type-c sealed? This is the failure of an extreme accessory

[@patriotcarepackage]

I wish you would have answered this question... Does the YOCTOP wake up the camera when you power it on? The Insta360 wakes up the camera when you start it. I film police and fire ride alongs. When possible I use POV cameras. Its' easy with Fire rides. I have 15-20 seconds to hit record on the external cameras, then jump on the truck. While riding around in a patrol car I can't ask the officer to stop, let me out and turn on one to three cameras and get back in. Do you know, before I buy.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

My question too. Have you found out.??

[@noizareth]

Hello there, thinking to get Yoctop smart remote, can someone confirm if you can turn on/off two cameras with remote without loosing pairing?

[@DrivingviewTV]

Best question but no one can help to answer, For me I think the remote official from Gopro is the good choice.

[@ketarap]

Do you still recommend the Yoctop remote? I will be primarily using it for motorcycle vlogging, and it is important that I can turn on and turn off my gopro hero 8 (to save battery) using the remote while riding.

[@Tech4Baba]

Thanks for watching and asking, z mahmood! Yes, Yoctop is better value. The GoPro remote has a bigger, easier to operate record/stop button. Let me know which one you end up with.

[@ketarap]

@@Tech4Baba Thanks. I have ordered the Yoctop.

[@ridingdreamer]

@@ketarap Is it easy with gloves? Thats what I am concerned with. Would like to know how you like it.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

@@ketarap if would be great to hear how the remote has been working for you so far. 🤟🏼

[@ketarap]

@@ridingdreamer so far so good. For the price, it's okay. You can use it with glove, no pblm.

[@1notears4life]

Why u need a backlit screen when the camera is not a night vision. Who is recording at night??

[@igorvalentovitch7401]

many people like myself shoot the night sky. You need to adjust camera settings in the dark when transitioning from night sky shooting to sunrise shooting. In such situations, the backlit screen is an advantage. Plus, backlit is easier to read in shadow areas. Great video - thanks!

[@georgeregoo]

Will this work with a GroPro 11?

[@Tech4Baba]

Thanks for watching and asking, George! Yes, they both do.

[@SVbayMotorrad2]

I have the Yoctop remote it works well for me especially at night and it powers off my GoPro 11. I’m also very impressed with the battery life. I just wish the bottoms are also backlit.

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Shame that they went with a proprietary charging cable rather than usb c.

[@Tech4Baba]

Agree! Thanks for watching and sharing, Naughty Goat Farm! Which remote did you end up with?

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

@@Tech4Baba I ordered the yoctop. Waiting for it to arrive.

[@ZLAYA-MUHA]

New original remote is. The type-c is not waterproof! It will not charge if water gets in. And the water gets in ! The lid is cheap and not waterproof on type-c

[@trekOCLVone]

I just bought the real GoPro Hero 10 remote. My mindset is that If I'm buying something once, I'll buy the real one. The knock offs might seem like good savings up front but there is a reason why they are 1/2 price. Most of the time there is a catch. I've been to China and seen the knock offs of every brand name on the planet and the quality almost always suffers. The knock offs over time are also cost reduced. Not good.

[@Tech4Baba]

Good point! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, trekOCLVone!

[@LanielPhoto]

Bought one, got the other the next day as a gift. After using both. I prefer the YocTop. Only negative is the special charging cable - but there recharge connection is totally waterproof, unlike a leaky rubber cover over the USB port of the GoPro remote.

[@JiriMr]

Man, its just bluetooth chip and a few buttons.
