This GoPro accessory works ok (needs repairing occasionally) but strikes me as needing line of sight if more than 15 ft away. Not sure why they have utilised wifi instead of radio signal at least for the record/stop button. I'd still recommend it as its the most solid way currently available to operate the GoPro at distance.

Good product easy to use connects easily good battery life Pity it doesn't float hence this is the second remote bought still worth it though.

I recently purchased the Hero 5 camera which has voice control which is good and works well when the camera can hear your commands. However I kayak and in white water the camera does not always respond. The remote is excellent for control, it has a watch strap and I can wear it on my wrist and switch the camera on and off and take video/photo etc with confidence. It can be used to change settings but I need glasses to read so can't see it on river but it does not matter as I only want to use the basic function. It was at a good price and delivered fairly quickly from Wilkinson Cameras. Very happy with it.
