GoPro Smart Remote (GoPro Official Accessory)

Product Information

If you do not see the option to add a remote on your HERO9 Black’s menu system, make sure to update the camera’s firmware to at least v1. I can extend my thumb to hit the record button and make a quick glance at its display to ensure it’s actually recording.

Press the [Power Button] on the side of the BacPac to show the Wi-Fi menu on the camera’s front LCD screen. This uses energy and it does mean you will have to recharge them using the supplied USB cable from time to time. Note – another way to get to the Wi-Fi menu is by using the [Power and Shutter Button] on the camera to find it in the camera’s Settings menu. Smart Remote enables control of up to 50 cameras at a time and features 40% increased battery capacity compared to the Wi-Fi Remote. Press the [Mode Button] repeatedly, until [CONNECT] is highlighted, then press the [Shutter button] to select.

Equipped with a large, high-resolution display, you can easily monitor your camera''s status at any time. Make sure to be using current firmware; compatibility was added through a December 17, 2020 firmware update after the cameras’ release. We offer a world class range of Electronics for your travels, including Apple, Samsung, Beats, Bose, Fitbit, JBL, Sony, Sennheiser and more. To this day it still has a better WiFi range (600ft/180m) and waterproofing (10ft/3m) than most unofficial remotes. You can start/stop recording, change presets, and switch camera functions, and with a simple glance at the high-resolution display, you can also just check the camera status.

Range may be affected when recording with higher resolutions and frame rates and other high-performance settings. Although expensive, the official GoPro “The Remote”, or smart remote for older GoPro models, are definitely my recommendations. GoPro have upgraded the batteries in the Hero4 so Hero3 and GoPro Hero3+ batteries are not compatable with the Hero4 and Vice Versa, this also applies to the dual chargers, but wall chargers are compatable as are car chargers as they use USB charging technology.
