Larry, thank you. My remote turns the camera on and off, and doesn't need re-pairing. great vid
@seanfrench1029 Жыл бұрын
Ive had these for a few years now. You don't have to re-pair after switching your camera off and back on again. But, if you only use it the next day or, change batteries, you have to re-pair. From a design point of view, it makes perfect sense. Is it a bit of a pain - yes, but the remote is the next best invention since the GoPro. The re-pairing issues were the same with my GoPro remotes. For the price, its great value.

Hi Larry Thanks for your review. I just got my remote. My remote does turn the camera on and off. And it also pairs automatically when I turn it on. Maybe I have a slightly newer model.

I have a gopro 9, when I switch the remote on it switches my camera on, when I switch the remote off it switches my camera off, only had to pair it once, works great.

It works with the MAX, not all features, it allows mw to switch to hero mode but not back to 360, but on off works and not having to pair every time.

Thanks for sharing bro! Initially I started watching your video as I was curious to whether this remote would work with the Hero 11. I can’t get the official go pro remote delivered to me at the moment, so I’m gonna go with this one. Apart from the issue of having to reconnect the remote each time, seems like it will do the trick for what I need!

I have a unit and you don’t need to re-pair it every time you use it. Mine switches the GoPro on when I press the mode button. HOWEVER, I encounter issues when I pair a 2nd unit of GoPro. It gets confused as to which unit it is suppose to control and at times, power one up but not the other. No liking it for now. Will continue to play with it

Hey Larry. Thx for your great review. I replaced (finally) my 4 for a 10 Black to film our motorcycle trips. This time I like to buy a remote as well. Does the use of a remote effects the duration of a batteryload very heavy? I start/stop the 4 during the ride with the topbutton. For my safety a remote looks better.... Greetings, Frank, Baarn (Netherlands).
@TodayIFeelLike Жыл бұрын
No I don't think it affects the battery much. I haven't noticed that is does.
@seanfrench1029 Жыл бұрын
I use remotes most of the time with my GoPros and have never really measured the run time connected to remote compared to not but, the convenience of the remote on my adventure and dirt bikes makes it worth it, even if I lose a few mins camera battery life. The remote is the next best invention since the action camera (GoPro).

i've been using it for over 2 years with my present GoPro and my old GoPro Hero 10. Never had to repair in all that time, neither did my friends (2 of them). Not only that, but it also turns on the camera remotely. You obviously have a faulty remote or GoPro. Your giving bad publicity where it is not deserved. That's what I hate about KZbin - so called experts that aren't.
@edwinsahertian6875 Жыл бұрын
It is actually useless, why? Because when you switch the mode remotely, you can't read on your remote in which mode it currently is, and that could be very annoying when you're standing a few meters away from you GoPro. IMHO using your phone as a remote is a much better option.

Hold on. Hear me out here. For same day use, you don't have to re-pair it every time you switch it on and off. But, if your GoPro battery runs flat and you restart after swopping batteries, you have to re-pair but it goes very quick. If I had to design this system, I'd do the same, especially for people connecting multiple cameras. I've been using remotes for my GoPros since 2013 and the OEM GoPro or Telesin remotes are equally as fast/slow. I can't say the one is better than the other.
