My apologies. I was knew to the youtube language and speaking to a camera at this point in my youtube progress. I have gotten better. Again my apologies for not speaking clear and getting to the point. I will do better on my next product review.
Thanks for the video--this is my motovlogging Go Pro set up, and I just ordered this remote. I also use a chin mount on my Shoei Rf-1200. I have a video on my channel. Thanks so much for sharing this. New sub!
watching this again, i do agree with you colin lol. i am sorry the video was not what you expected. still new to the TH-cam thing but im getting better in my current videos of getting ride of my mono tone voice and taking forever to get to the point. again my apologies and i hope some of my future videos will be more of what your looking for.
Thanks for your video..... I received a new replacement smart remote for my Hero 7 Black. I cannot pair it up to save my life..... Probably not recognizing it due to the old one that I had. Any suggestions? I would sincerely appreciate it.
Yes it can. I have the same setup as you. But I have noticed after like a day or two you have to power both on manually for them to reconnect. Not sure how long it takes for them to disconnect like that to where you have to manually power them back on
Yes it will. The remote has a digital display showing you that you are recording and the seconds/minutes of how long you've been recording as well as the recording red indicator light being on as well.
M Latief try using the app discreetly....the remote is waterproof and simple...the app has its place don’t get me wrong. For 70 notes id rather use a remote than a £$€ 800 smart phone when shooting action footage.
Thanks again for your great video..... Came across another problem that you may know of a fix. I have a Hero7 Black and the same oem Smart Remote as in your video. I already paired it up with a GoPro battery which works great. I have an external Anker power bank that will work great with the remote if the battery is installed. If I use just the power bank, the remote will not pair up. I do have WiFi on and GPS on. Do you know of a work around to use my power bank without the battery installed? Thanks again. 😊👍
Unfortunately the battery does have to be installed. Go pro cameras have to sense the battery (battery prongs touching the cameras internal plates) Go pro company has not released a Gopro with these capabilitiesyet. Hopefully fingers crossed they come up with a future Gopro cam with the capability to work without a battery.
@@moto_ak47 Thanks for the quick reply.... I agree, hopefully there will be a fix in the future. Thanks again, appreciate your input and of course, your videos. Keep up the great work. 👍😊
After you are done taking video or photos, you have to turn off the Wireless connection each time to avoid the batteries from going flat. (not necessary to pair every time) and when you turn them back on, you have to go into the settings and turn on wireless to activate the remote. It would have made more sense to have the camera put the Wi-Fi in a sleep mode (so it didn't consume power) when you turn off the camera by Long pressing the power button. and Long pressing the remote power button. I don't know why GoPro hasn't done a firmware update to perform this simple function. Please give feedback to gopro.com and ask them to do an update. I have already... Don't forget to turn off wireless or you will go to use your camera and the battery will be dead and need to be charged again. It is a shame when the I T people don't test the items and fix the bugs before they put an expensive remote on the market.
Thank you Rob, I agree. i did some playing around with both and found this out, luckily before i had to use my camera again because the battery in fact did drain a bit. and i will send some feedback to gopro.com as well.
Thats good to know Rob. I have a question..do I need to have wireless available every time I use the remote? Since I plan to use this on hiking trips, WiFi is not going to be available.
@@russellmeagher2578 There are a couple reasons to have wi-fi turned on, you will need it on to pair to a smart phone for streaming video, or to download updates with your phone, or to use the smart phone as a monitor. Any function like GPS, Bluetooth, wireless require huge amounts of energy and will drain the batteries very quickly, more so if they're all turned on. BTW: the GPS function gages are not even close to accurate (they read 285mph when your traveling on a bicycle) (they read north no matter which direction you are headed) etc. It is a useless function that drains your batter in half the time. Personally, i keep all the wireless functions turned off. I use my desktop computer to manually update the firmware on the MicroSD card with a reader. $20 proprietary batteries are too expensive for only 20 mins of filming.
Hi Russell. No, you just need your WIRELESS Connection tab in your go pro's setting tab, then connections, then scroll to smart remote. and Rob K is correct, thank you.
This video is excellent for a remote review. However, it does not address the numerous issues with charging the GoPro remote. None of the proposed remedies work consistently. GoPro has a serious design flaw with this version as evidenced by the newer version charging configuration. Buying the reviewed version is a waste of money.
Hi. Can you try recording 2.7k and see if the camera freezing not when the remote button is pressed to stop recording? Mine will freeze if resolution I use higher than 1080. I'm using gh7 black and same remote you using now.
Does the remote can preview your photos and videos in your gallery? Coz im having a hard time using my camera underwater and every time i swipe up to view my gallery its not responding due to water thats still on the screen.
@@moto_ak47 Do you lose the bluetooth and wifi connections from the remote to the camera after 8 hours? I don't want to have to turn the camera on to reset the connection every time I use the remote.
@@mikechonburi7976 unfortunately somtimes this does happen. Iv never experienced having to fully reconnect and do the entire process to re pair them. But I know some people have had to do so.
if you ever question if an accessory is compatible with your gopro - find the accessory on gopro.com and it will list all models that it's compatible with. the most reliable source!
I hope so as well, Paul thank you. Still trying to get ahold of all the editing stuff and making my voice not so boring. Will get better as a post more and more.
i will do a video on it, i have just recently been experiencing some connection problems myself of the remote not staying connected. The problem is with the remotes internal connection to wireless connect. but i agree.
Thank you for your response. It would be awesome if you would do a video on the Smart Remote. I'm certainly looking forward to it. Hopefully, you will possibly find an answer to the remotes problem. Thank you!! Ray 👍😊
Looking back at my older vids i do agree with you. i am sorry the video was not what you expected. still new to the TH-cam thing but im getting better in my current videos of getting ride of my mono tone voice and taking forever to get to the point. again my apologies and i hope some of my future videos will be more of what your looking for.
Yes I do lol. I'm sorry about that. I was still very new to TH-cam and making videos and understand now that voice, tone, and speaking was horrible. Iv gotten a tad better in my more recent videos. Check out the newer video of me using and explaing this go pro remote.

9.21? All the first generation remotes will work with this camera.
If you have a gopro 3 remote, it will work. I link my 15 cameras with one remote.
I’m growing old listening to this.
My apologies. I was knew to the youtube language and speaking to a camera at this point in my youtube progress. I have gotten better. Again my apologies for not speaking clear and getting to the point. I will do better on my next product review.
Works just fine with my Hero 7 black

Glad it was helpful! enjoy
After two minutes of watching and listening to this, I almost lost the will to live.

MotoAK47 TH-cam provide a speed control if it's to slow for you. I'm watching @ 1.5 times
It's OK, just need to speed it up a little.
Lol
Give the guy a break...not every one talks like Samuel L Jackson in a shoot out..
Thanks for the tip. You might consider adding another tip; resetting the connection. I found out by accident.
i will do a video on it, i have just recently been experiencing some connection problems myself of the remote not staying connected.

i like that you dont use that youtube voice. You sound more natural
what the " WHATS UP GUYS< SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON ! " that voice?
That’s what we need. A proprietary charging port. Thanks.
I have a Gopro Hero 5 Black and was wondering if you power off the camera (camer button) can the remote be used to power back on the Gopro?
Yes it can. I have the same setup as you. But I have noticed after like a day or two you have to power both on manually for them to reconnect. Not sure how long it takes for them to disconnect like that to where you have to manually power them back on
If you're at a distant from the gopro will the remote tell you the camera is recording when you hit record on the remote please.
Yes it will. The remote has a digital display showing you that you are recording and the seconds/minutes of how long you've been recording as well as the recording red indicator light being on as well.
@@moto_ak47 brilliant, goid man. Thank you very much from Belfast northern Ireland
@@Team-fabulous not a problem my friend.
You can use the gopro app and control it from your phone. Also, on the phone you can see the image the go pro is shooting.
ok
I guess this makes the remote redundant

I bought my exact same remote as yours for $8 on eBay
I’ve seen them too, but they are not GoPro remotes but a cheap 2 button non waterproof look-a-like...how did you get on with it 8 months later ?
Hi. Can you try recording 2.7k and see if the camera freezing not when the remote button is pressed to stop recording? Mine will freeze if resolution I use higher than 1080. I'm using gh7 black and same remote you using now.
I will make another video and test this on my go pro for you.
Thank you and subscribed.
Speaker to talk?
Does the remote can preview your photos and videos in your gallery? Coz im having a hard time using my camera underwater and every time i swipe up to view my gallery its not responding due to water thats still on the screen.
unfortunately No, you can not view vids/photos on or through the remote.
Do you still need the phone app or does this eliminate that?
You do not. But it would be wise to keep the app as a back up if your remote dies on you while filming or a just to have just in case.

2 minuets in and nothing...
Why the stupid key? Makes no sense.
I’m at 4 minutes. Still not seeing it work.
Why not just use your cell phone?
I do in fact use my cell phone as well now since making this video.
The cell phone connects through Bluetooth. BT has a range of less than about 35 ft.. I think this gadget uses WiFi which has a lot longer range.
Cool
I hope you get better on your videos
I hope so as well, Paul thank you. Still trying to get ahold of all the editing stuff and making my voice not so boring. Will get better as a post more and more.
This remote is a P.I.A. It will not stay paired with the Hero 7 Black 80% of the time. Many people have experienced the same issue as I am. Ray
