Remote Control for Gopro Hero 9 Hero 8 Hero 7 Black Hero 6 Black Hero 5 Session Hero 4 Hero Session Hero 3 3+ Smart WiFi Remote, with Wrist Strap & Magnetic Charger

I did use the GoPro app since it is free and you can preview the footage on the smartphone. However, if you find the app slow/cumbersome to use then a remote might be the choice. Here are some situations that I find the remote useful.1. If your hands are occupied (like riding a bike) or you are wearing gloves, the app is a pain because you have to get your phone out of your pocket, unlock the phone screen, and then a bunch of taps to get it done. With the smart remote you can start/stop recording with a single tap anytime.2. If you are filming in some extreme environments (say someplace wet, dusty or where you might drop your phone, you are swimming or on the beach). The remote is a must-have thing.Pros:Nice packagingEasy to connect Easy to read the working mode with 2 leds.Lightweight and wearableCons:Magnetic charging cable is proprietary (it’s not replaceable)No lanyard included.

Works great with my GoPro and much cheaper. I have had no issues.

Okay but I wish I would have bought the manufactures model instead. Trying to remember what the light indicators mean to determine what mode your in is more headache than it's worth.

The product worked as described. Must buy for GoPro device. Awesome!!!

Great little remote. It only took a few seconds to connect. Definitely a good buy

Product is very good. Delivery not quite there.
