Great review. Definitely buying one for car action with multiple cameras. 👍 will save me wondering if camera is on or off and aligning clips is a pain in *** 💪
Going on a road trip soon. Going to be recording lots of driving footage. Trying to decide between the remote, the Volta or both. I DO like the convenience of just having the remote right on my wrist, but grabbing the Volta on the passenger seat wouldn't really be a hardship. Whatever means I don't have to touch my phone illegally while driving to use Quik. Either the remote or the Volta will be a lot cheaper than that cell phone ticket.
Well if you dont plan to use the remote more.often than that then perhaps volta is all u need ? U can recharge your camera and occassionally use a remote control with it But if you plan to use the camera remotely often then the remote is really useful
I have used it for 3 months now whenever i had to control my camera outaode of the car or two cameras simhltanouslu for compariaon reasons, ebem submergednin the water while.paddle.boarding so far soo good ;) im happy too
We want to start doing fishing videos on our boat but we don't 1) want to have the camera "on" and 2) recording all the time. Would love it if we could just push record on the remote and fire up both the GoPros (I hear you can control up to 5 on one remote) or the only other consolation I could thing of is if the GoPro could be put in sleep mode (I forget if it has one) until we push record on the remote I dont think it would, but does the remote turn them in as well or do you have to turn the cam on first
Can I use this remote while my Volta is connected with its cable to my GoPro 11? I don’t know if there would be a conflict between the Volta and the remote, as I only want to use the Volta as a battery bank for extended time on my GoPro while using the remote to control my GoPro.
Hello from VA!! How do you turn the device off? I seen how to turn the camera on/off with it but not how to actually turn it off. Thanks from a newbie with the GoPro
Hi. I love your review. I see that you have it mounted to a stick / handle bar. Which accessory did you use? I don't seem to be able to fine any, and it frustrates me. The old Smart Remote had a different quick release mount for poles, but this new one doesn't seem to come with one, nor available to purchase as accessory, unless you use the provided velcro, which is way too long for stick. Thanks
I think you made a mistake by saying you can turn the camera ON with the remote! As far as I know you CANNOT turn the camera on with it! Secondly you did not offer any suggestions how to attach the remote SECURELY to a handlebar! Even on youR video it is easily turning around when using the supplied wrist Velcro. There has to be a better solution to attach the remote securely to a handlebar!
Thanks for the vid. Can you switch between superview and hyperview etc? Also, how does tye functionality compare to the much cheaper Telesin remote? Thanks.
Hello overall it performs and feels much better than telesin remote, as for the field.of view , i do t really rember if yoh can chamge indovidual settings For sure u can change presets
Hi Tomasz. Thx for sharing your expertise. Pretty helpful stuff. I got one for my Gopro10 and use mostly the Volta for my Gopro11, as you know the Volta can also be used as remote control. Yes, for both, even more for the Volta..not really waterproof as well, I am also cautious for the Gopro remote and immersion in water..😉 Personally I do not like to use my phone as a remote.
I have used this remote control in the water and it survived , just make sure the seal is clean and you rinse it in fresh water after every use in salt water
@@Tomasz.Nowacki 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
@@ZLAYA-MUHA i havent submerged it in the water yet maybe just accidentally for a bitnqhile stan up paddle boarding but try to avoid salt water with it
It depends , most of the time it works fine but sometimes it cant detect each other even though u just turned off the camera with it a minute ago , so i would say works 90 % of the time
@@Tomasz.Nowacki if the delay is constant, it can still be used for stereoscopic purpose. Just need to sync the streams frame by frame in software. But taking a picture of a moving object won't be possible. Have you measured the delay?
@@MrRijubratapal honestly i never focused that much attention to it , newer camera models tend to turn off about the same time than older ones , maybe if u have the same camera model its gonna be the same but i havent tested it
@@Tomasz.Nowacki I have recently bought two GoPro 9 cams for doing stereo or 3D photography & video. I was thinking of purchasing this costly remote only for sync purpose. I am dubious now.
Once you paired it once it is ok , when u turn on the remote for the first time in a while you may need to select tge camera u want to connect even if you have only 1, after that i suggest not to turn off the remote so it has a strong connection, sometimes when u turn off the remote it may disconnect The battery lasts forever so dont worry
Yes, even when making this video when i had to control 5 cameras , once inpowered off all of them i was able to connect to 3 not 5 and i had to reconnect untill i was able to.power on 5 , usually on a daily use i have no problem with 2 cameras
@Tomasz Nowacki thx for reply man. Yeah, I have same problems with previous generation remote. And it's really annoying. :( Thinking about upgrading to this one, but it seems to be the same. Do you know if aftermarket remotes have similar issues?
From what i tested lets say Telesin , its compatibility witg more than 1 camera is quite bad , u cant power on more than 1 camera have to reconnect every single time as soon as power off , only works good with 1 camera Speakinh of there is a firmware update for the remote control for gopro which i was supposed to download but forgot maybe it solves the issues with connectivity haha :)
Cześć Tomasz, posługujesz się językiem polskim ? Mam problem z pilotem, posiadam 2 kamery GP Hero 9 Black i w obu nie działa u mnie przycisk zmiany trybu nagrywania (Preset Button) w żadnym trybie (Mode). Pilot właśnie wrócił do mnie z reklamacji, ale sprzedawca wskazuje na zaktualizowanie oprogramowania kamer, a u mnie są najnowsze. Pilot też posiada najnowsze oprogramowanie (u sprzedawcy niby na GP Hero 8 wszystko działa). Doradziłbyś coś ? Pozdrawiam Marcin Lipiński
Na twoim miejscu skontaktowalbym sie bezposrednio z supportem gopro i darowalbym sobie polska strone, Ciezko mi powiedziec czemu preset nie dziala , skoro opragramowanie jest ok na wszystkich urzadzeniach , to jeszcze bym tylko zresetowal kamerki to ustawiek fabrycznych i ponownie sparowalbym z pilotem jal to nie zadziala to wymiana u gopro najlepiej lub ponowny soft na pilocie
Problemem jest oprogramowanie sprzętowe 2.00 dla pilota zdalnego sterowania The Remote. Po jego zainstalowaniu można jedynie zmieniać tryby nagrywania na Hero 9, ale nie można już ustawiać żadnych opcji. Kiedy podłączyłem Hero 11 do The Remote, aktualizacja firmware została wymuszona.
Jeśli zresetujesz oprogramowanie sprzętowe do wersji 1.20, powinno ono ponownie działać z Hero 9. Instrukcje dotyczące aktualizacji oprogramowania sprzętowego są dostępne bezpośrednio od GoPro. Wymagany plik należy wyszukać w Internecie. Dateiname: GP_REMOTE_FW_01_02_00
People don't buy it. At the slightest ingress of water into the charging port, it will no longer charge. Cleaning at the service center did not help. They said it was not maintainable
Believe it or not but it all depends how you use your gopro, if you just want to take a picture here and there or press record , hide your phone in yhe pocket and prepare yourself to do sth then sure mobile phone is ok But if you already in the action, want to take burst photo, save battery and record only when the sun is in the right moment not ruining your shot, or you dont wanna end up with 30 min footage with just few min good in it, or where you want to press record but the camera is too far a way and you ride a motorbike , drive a car , ski , paddle board then instead of stopping , reaching out for the camera etc. You just use remote control :)
I know its not a brand new accessory but I think it can really help you capturing your shots with GoPro. :)
Incredible review. The only one that is demonstrating use cases. Thanks a million!

But if you plan to use the camera remotely often then the remote is really useful
So this thing can actually turn the camera on if it has not been in use and shuts itself off??
I have a question besides this remote what other remotes can control the GoPro max 360
I have it and I'm happy with how it works
I have used it for 3 months now whenever i had to control my camera outaode of the car or two cameras simhltanouslu for compariaon reasons, ebem submergednin the water while.paddle.boarding so far soo good ;) im happy too
Insta360 remote has a camera screen. Why doesn't gopro?
Great review! Concise and provided all the info I was looking for.
Thank you :)

I dont think it would, but does the remote turn them in as well or do you have to turn the cam on first
Why does the remote control battery run out so quickly if you don't use it? The battery will be completely empty within a week.
Can I use this remote while my Volta is connected with its cable to my GoPro 11?
I don’t know if there would be a conflict between the Volta and the remote, as I only want to use the Volta as a battery bank for extended time on my GoPro while using the remote to control my GoPro.
How would you use auto exposure control on the remote? Such as -2.0 thru +2.0?
Hello from VA!! How do you turn the device off? I seen how to turn the camera on/off with it but not how to actually turn it off. Thanks from a newbie with the GoPro
Just oress and hold the button on the top of the remote " power" icon
Thanks mate
Hope it was helpful :)
@@Tomasz.Nowacki yeah bro. It was. I bought it. Will use it on my motorcycle.
Look also at GoPro Boom + Bar mount
@@Tomasz.Nowacki that looks perfect to get more angles while riding. Thanks!

Yes i used yhe velcro strap and just tightened it , it wasnt perfect but worked :)
My question, will it work with the upcoming GP 13 ?
Its hard to say but probably yes
I think you made a mistake by saying you can turn the camera ON with the remote! As far as I know you CANNOT turn the camera on with it! Secondly you did not offer any suggestions how to attach the remote SECURELY to a handlebar! Even on youR video it is easily turning around when using the supplied wrist Velcro.

You can definitely turn the camera on and off with the remote.

Thanks for the review. Does it lose Bluetooth connection from the camera if you don’t use it for say, an hour? Thanks again.
It depends , most of the time it works fine but sometimes it cant detect each other even though u just turned off the camera with it a minute ago , so i would say works 90 % of the time
With gopro 12 works ? 😊
Yes :)
Nice video..
I have the gopro 10, but would this remote work with the gopro 7 black also?
I believe its compatible with hero 8 and up , for hero 7 u would need an older version
Do you think the battery is replaceable
No its all.sealed ;/ and dont thinm.gopro.replave the battery for you
Does it control the GoPro MAX 360?
Yes :)
If I trigger two GoPro Hero 9, will they start/stop recording at the exact same time with perfect sync? Do the video streams match frame by frame?
There might be a small.delay, i wouldnt say its a perfrct match
@@Tomasz.Nowacki if the delay is constant, it can still be used for stereoscopic purpose. Just need to sync the streams frame by frame in software. But taking a picture of a moving object won't be possible. Have you measured the delay?

Everytime you turn off and on, do you have to pair again? With the Telesin T10 remote, you have to do that.
You dont have to pair it , but you may need to select which camera to connect to
@@Tomasz.Nowacki What if I've only one camera? Does it start recording immediately? Or it's a 2 step process?
Once you paired it once it is ok , when u turn on the remote for the first time in a while you may need to select tge camera u want to connect even if you have only 1, after that i suggest not to turn off the remote so it has a strong connection, sometimes when u turn off the remote it may disconnect
The battery lasts forever so dont worry
@@Tomasz.Nowacki that sounds awesome 👍🏼 Thanks for the information.
Can it control more than one go pro? Or do you need a seperate remote for every go pro?
Please watch entire video ;)
Up to 5 cameras
Did you experience any glitches or issues controlling several cams? I mean disconnecting or not finding some cams, etc?
Yes, even when making this video when i had to control 5 cameras , once inpowered off all of them i was able to connect to 3 not 5 and i had to reconnect untill i was able to.power on 5 , usually on a daily use i have no problem with 2 cameras

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
The only problem is it does not work underwater
Wifi generally doesnt work underwater, its wateproof just for safety measures rather than being actually used underwater
People don't buy it. At the slightest ingress of water into the charging port, it will no longer charge. Cleaning at the service center did not help. They said it was not maintainable
Thanks bro 😂 i was finding info
It has worked great for snow skiing. With the gopro max, it's the best because the only one that gives you info on 360 mode shooting.
Feels kinda useless given that you can do the same things with the quickapp.
Also $79 for this is CRAZY, max I would pay is $30 for real.
Believe it or not but it all depends how you use your gopro, if you just want to take a picture here and there or press record , hide your phone in yhe pocket and prepare yourself to do sth then sure mobile phone is ok

@@Tomasz.Nowacki I guess your right, it's way more convenient that having to pull out your phone everytime. I do feel it's overpriced tho.
@@edwinvaughan4792 yes it is a bit expensive as.most.of.GoPro accessories but it works pretty well :)
