Product Information

Press the [Menu Button] repeatedly to move to [Connection Settings], then press the [Shutter Button] to select it. The natural upside of that is better compatibility with existing and future GoPro models. It’s also manufactured with GoPro’s high standards, meaning it really is waterproof up to 33ft (10m) and operational at a 600ft (180m) range in optimal conditions. The remote should now display the camera's capture settings and recording mode, indicating that pairing was successful.

If you see [Detach current remote?] Highlight and select [Yes]. After that, you should see two arrows moving towards each other on the camera’s screen. This means the camera is in pairing mode. Complete camera control: delivers full remote control of all Camera Functions, including shutter, on/off, and settings. Press the [Info/Wireless Button] on the left side of the camera with the lens facing you. You’ll see a blue LED blink every couple of seconds to show that you camera’s Wi-Fi is turned on.Press the [Menu Button] to move to [Connect New Device], then press the [Shutter Button] to select it. Press the [Info/Wireless Button] until [ADD NEW] appears, select this option with the [Shutter Button].

The GoPro Smart Remote is waterproof and can be used in 600ft (180m) range! You can drop it, soak it, throw it or get i really dirty. You can also use it with up to 50 cameras at once, you probably never need that functionality but good to know you have that option. GoPro Smart Remote Features When you rely on remote controlling your GoPro with a mobile app you have the benefit of seeing the shot and can reframe if needed and you can also change ALL settings in the mobile app. But you are also very limited as your phone is big, the touch screen is not easy to work in some conditions and you can use it in dirty or wet conditions. The GoPro Remo is proof that not every official accessory is great. It’s essentially a wearable wireless mic that lets you use GoPro voice commands to remotely control your GoPro. With the Remote connected, you can power on the camera if it goes to sleep. You’ll see a “power on” screen on the remote. Press the shutter button on the remote to remotely power on the camera. It won’t work if the camera has the wireless connections option off.I’m personally a bit ambivalent about the voice control, and especially with the REMO remote. I’ve had too many times when it hasn’t worked as reliably as I’d like it to and I’ve ended up having to work around it. But in those situations where voice control is important, the Remo is the only option for controlling a HERO6 or HERO5 remotely by voice. The remote may ask you to pair another, press the [Mode Button] to highlight "No", then press the [Shutter Button] to select it. In the [Wireless] menu, press the [Mode Button] until [REM CTRL] is highlighted and then press the [Shutter Button] to select it.
