Must-Have: Camera and Photo

The new remote control is amazing. I think it's very good that you can control multiple cameras at the same time (hero and max in my case) and also switch them on. This allows me to run them when needed, which saves a lot of battery life. The watch also shows the modes you are in and the associated settings. I used them underwater and they still worked fine.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Band

A must-have item for motorcycles.

I love this thing. Connected to my Zx6r so I can turn my Hero 9 Black on and off and start recording so I don't run out of batteries when recording isn't needed. Sometimes you need to get it fixed, just make sure it works before hitting the road and you're good to go. I think the battery life is crazy. Charged once and used for about 5 hours and still 90 percent charged.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • the packaging is boring

Useful when not at hand

I mainly use it when the GoPro is mounted on the outside of the car or remotely. This device allows you to activate recording without physically pushing the GoPro and without using your phone to record. This is a simple button that won't distract you while driving and can be hidden. However, I wish it had more features like a preview screen, but for the battery life (which is long) it does the job.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Appearance

Elegant design - a huge improvement over previous models!

I use this new remote with the Hero 9. I fly paramotors and the GoPro is mounted on top of my helmet. where there is no way to see or hear GoPro status. If I forget to turn on my GoPro, I can easily do so with the remote control, which is very convenient since I don't have to take my helmet off during the flight. ;) I found this new version to be much more responsive and just tell me if I'm recording. It was stable, much more reliable than the previous model I used with the GoPro 7.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Good but not great

Go Pro Remote for Hero 9 Camera

Easily fits Go Pro Hero 9 Black Camera. It may be necessary to update the Go Pro Hero 9 software version. There is an on/off switch, a charging cable, a strap. The warranty instructions are a bit unclear. Says limited life but also says two years? The remote has a tool button and a mode button. Turns on the camera with the remote control. But I can't tell it's disconnected from the remote control. The mode button easily toggles between photo and video. A bit expensive. but need. and I'm…

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Frequency

The remote control did not convince me at all. It's not as difficult as the $80 price suggests. GoPro consistently disappoints with a lack of attention to good tech and especially the human interface. It's like they never tested this device before releasing it. Read on to learn more about our impressions. Bad: -- EXPENSIVE: $80! You must really want that remote as there are others for 60% off that turn the camera on and off remotely. - NO AUDIO FEEDBACK FOR PAIRING: When devices are powered on…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
