Good with flaws
The remote is really convenient and when it works, it is a must-have. I've have very minor connection issues outside of water, nothing that isn't more than a minor inconvenience. Overall, I love having this thing. That said, the strap is not comfortable or overly useful. It slides around only until you cut off circulation. Also, it won't stay connected underwater. I'm not sure what the issue is, but mine loses connection as soon as I submerge. The screen is also really hard to see when outside, either in sun or not. The battery is incredible and I can do multiple trips without charging. I'd be fine with less battery life for a more easily visible screen.

Works just like you want it to!
When I am going on a bike ride I just mount it to my top tube, and it connects super easy and you can even turn on and off the camera from it as well as changing camera modes and presets with the click of a button. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is once it glitched out and I had to turn it off and back on which stopped the GoPro mid run. But still a great durable product with an amazing battery life I have had it for about a year and I haven't had to charge it once!

Remote not waterproof
The usb port corroded after a few uses. I did rinse it thoroughly after each use. Now remote won’t charge at all. For the price not worth it.

funky with two cameras
Doesn't work well for me with two cameras, seems to always have trouble connecting, and the strap is a joke. Clearly no one at GoPro had mounting options in mind when they designed this remote, because there is zero flexibility for mounting unless you have a perfectly aligned location for the strap. For example, motorcycle handlebars. Good luck with that! I would be great if some kind of clip was designed that allowed the remote to be used with other available device mounts instead of assuming the orientation of the remote will ALWAYS be the same by every single user who has purchased it. Fire the remote design team. Please.

It’s ok But Needs Work
Screen is hard to read, does not light up. If you are in a low light situation, this won’t work well. Has issues staying connected. I spend more time adding over and over vs using the remote.

The remote does not have a backlight
I use The Remotу for about three weeks and found out that there is no such thing as a backlight in it! So it is extremely difficult to recognize how much tile left on the camera when I look on The Remote's screen.

Compatibility with new Hero 2024
Can't get my head around the fact that is compatible with all types of Hero cameras except form the newest the Hero 2024. That is a shame. Used it without a problem on my motorbike and power boat in conection with my Hero 9 black and I found it very useful. The remote is actualy that made me re-invent my camera.

Great Way to Control the Camera: Needs Other Mounting Options
I recently purchased a Hero 11 Black and the Smart Remote. The remote made controlling the camera so much easier. I've tried using the app on my smartphone, but when one is riding a motorcycle, focusing on the smartphone screen is not smart. I recently used the camera to document my ride up the Mt Washington Auto road. The remote worked great. I would love to see a mounting system so that I can mount the Smart Remote to a point near my clutch hand.
