Please click on a question to see its answers.

A:The Smart Remote is waterproof to 32'. However the wireless connectivity does not work under water, so the remote and cameras do not remain connected if submerged.

A:If I were you, I would put on a shirt before the harness. Otherwise, any female Sasquatch in the area might grab you and take you home!

A:Sadly, after I saw that you asked this I went to try it. My answer is no. Not in the least possible way did it stick.

A:Yes, this is the new one, just released together with the Hero4 cameras. The previous model was called the GoPro Wi-Fi Remote. This can also be used for Hero3 and Hero3+ according to GoPro.

A:Not all, it works with Hero 3, Hero 3+, and Hero 4

A:The person I bought it for had it mounted to pretty much every area of my Baja while off-roading and we've had no vibration issues to date. This is one of the best things I've invested in.

A:It fits on the clip that would slide into the mount and the loop will go around the hand tighting screw to eliminate vibration. A person has made a video on YouTube called tips and tricks for Gopros and he shows it use or you can use a piece of tape on the botton of the mount. Hope this helps you.

With the App, its nice to see the preview of what the gopro is looking at, of course since its a preview the quality is not good. There also is at least a 2 second delay on the preview, Even when the camera is inches away from tablet. You can change all the settings with the app. The distance with the app is not nearly as far as the remote. Across the living room was as far as I got the app to work well without the preview and connection loss. FWI I did try the app on a smart phone, and the preview delay was terrible at least 10 seconds and losing connection instantly. (farthest I got was about 10 feet) With the remote it DOES actually go 600 feet! That was the first test I did when I got it. From the house to maybe 300 feet (plus through walls) and still worked! The remote does need a clear line of sight to the camera though! Plus the remote comes with a strap to wrap around your wrist or anything (handlebars, pole, and more). The LCD screen on the remote is a duplicate of the LCD screen on the GoPro. The remote is also waterproof! (in reason). No worries of getting it a little wet.. unlike a smartphone or tablet. In conclusion.. I choose the smart remote anytime. Best thing I like about it is how far the connection can go! see less

A:Upright and I must say it works very well

I try to use only one insert in my go pro when diving and it seems to work fine. I try to handle the desiccant pad very gently. Another tip is, if you are staying in an air conditioned place an then going out for a dive in a warm climate, you should consider acclimating your gopro to the temperature out side in advance to using it. Say 1 hour if possible exposure to climatize the camera and case. This will make it less likely to fog. As far as powder residue inside the case. If that occurs A q-tip slightly moistened will clean the residue out followed by a dry q-tip. I also keep my inserts in a zip lock bag to protect them. Careful handling of the inserts and they will last a long time. Good luck, hope this answer helps. see less

A:I would guess the seams would give way to the pressure since the middle of handle is an air pocket which makes it float.

A:Yes

A:Most definitely not if you wrap it properly wwhich would almost be improbable. I would suggest using the open back since you would not be getting the camera wet and you would hear the wind and your voice better. Also, don't forget to pop your ears once you pass the clouds or you won't be able to hear much going down. … see more Most definitely not if you wrap it properly wwhich would almost be improbable.

A:Depends on where you wear it. Snow skiing, no. Water skiing, yes. Bike riding, yes.

A:I put this on the side of my r6 fairing and it stayed attached fine at speeds around 75-80. I would recommend using a small tether of some sort just in case.

A:Yes

A:Yes it does. Can connect to either clamp or extension neck. It works great! I love it!

A:Yes. The case and the grip act as an extension of sorts to the mic.

A:I have not tested it, but I would imagine it could be adjusted to fit a hockey helmet.

A:I had bought my head mount for fishing. I was afraid that I'd be fighting a fish and it would fall off my head into the water. But the there is a couple of gel-like strips on the inside of the headband, and it stuck like glue to the baseball cap I was wearing.

But the there is a couple of gel-like strips on the inside of the headband, and it stuck like glue to the baseball cap I was wearing. I would say that unless my hat happened to fall off, that the go-pro was not going anywhere. Make sure you buy the real go-pro head mount, and not a generic knock off. Now for the real question... how cool are you gonna look wearing a go-pro on your head in public? see less

A:Yes, I go to the beach at least once a week if not twice and take it with me in the water. It's still in good shape and I bought it in January!

A:Yes, it can take 10MP photos. More in-depth info can be found here: https://shop.gopro.com/cameras/hero3plus-silver/CHDHN-302.html

A:I find the head band thing to cumbersome and heavy..would not recommend it.

A:I wouldn't recommend it. The GoPro is light enough to use while walking and maybe doing other sports, but when you try to run with it, the head mount elastics flex too much, and you may end up with bad quality footage.

The GoPro is light enough to use while walking and maybe doing other sports, but when you try to run with it, the head mount elastics flex too much, and you may end up with bad quality footage. This is why in GoPro videos you see the people that do extreme sports or are moving fast wear it on their helmets. You can try that for a run or two to get the footage you need, but then that helmet might get too cumbersome. The other option is to tighten the straps on the mount, but that may give you a headache :) I hope this helps. see less

A:Its a tool for tightening those pesket thumb locks for all you brackets. Works nice, easier on your finger tips when they need to be tight

A:Yes they do.. and they are very sticky too!

A:There is a GoPro Handlebar Seatpost Mount that might be better. We used that one on a motorcycle ride and it worked great and it wasn't behind a windscreen.

A:With it clipped down its perfect for swimming. I use mine for snorkeling but it has an optional strap to stand it up but its garbage. I just use it flat on my wrist n it works fine u just have to turn ur wrist to what u want to shoot.

A:My model does not. You must use the bolt to affix the housing to the strap. I think newer models do come with a quick clip. I have only used it a couple of time and this was not a problem for me.

A:Each of the HERO3+ cameras come with the Standard Housing that is capable of withstanding depths of up to 131 feet (40 meters). This product allows you to go deeper, being waterproof to 197' (60 meters).http://gopro.com/support/articles/hero3plus-waterproof-housing-depth-rating

A:The handle is just a handle, handy for dropping it in the water and the camera not sinking. Button pressing on the camera is still required.

A:Yes, I have the hero three and I use these

A:Not to be a bit of an ass, but why wouldn't it be? It's easy to hold on to, floats, and has a wrist attachment. It's the primary reason I bought mine.

A:No, the placing of the buttons arent the same for the sj and the gopro.

A:If you are looking for a mount to place only a helmet, this is not the right one. This is mostly used to put on the exterior of cars, windows etc. For the helmets, I recommend just using the adhesive mount that comes with the Gopro, but make sure you let it stick, because it will fall off if you do not let the adhesive… see more If you are looking for a mount to place only a helmet, this is not the right one. This is mostly used to put on the exterior of cars, windows etc. For the helmets, I recommend just using the adhesive mount that comes with the Gopro, but make sure you let it stick, because it will fall off if you do not let the adhesive mount to the surface. If you are really cautious, there are small mounts called camera tethers, and they basically add security to your camera if the regular adhesive mount fails.Mounts recommended for helmet: http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/helmet-front-mounthttp://gopro.com/camera-mounts/side-mountCamera Tethers: http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/camera-tethersP.S. If it does fall off you can always replace the gopro housing, it is around $30 I think. see less

A:Yes, original product and yes works with Gopro hero 3+.

A:Yes that's the one I have. Well I have the GoPro hero4 silver.

A:5mm Hex Cap Nut

A:Answer this question

A:Yes that's the model I have.

A:Yes, I use it with the Hero3

A:I dont think it will work. they do have one made for handle bars.

A:Yes it will.

A:Yes is sure does. This remote is a must for the go pro. Been using mine on my Mexico trip this week.

A:Yes for sure!

A:Yeas it is

A:Assuming you adjusted it appropriately it should be fine, it didn't come off underwater, so I'd imagine wind would be handled just fine.

A:It works with every go pro model. It screws into the bottom of the camera case. Its just like the mounts you can buy for it, only this one goes on your head.

A:With the waterproof housing on yes

A:Answer this question

A:Could make that happen

A:Yes they will work for a bike! I used them on my snowmobile handle bars but it showed a lot of jerking motion / vibrating in the recording but on a bike it should be fine but don't know about on a bike if you are jumping or going over a bumpy path

A:it comes with three but you can add as much as you like

A:yes it works with 3+ and you can use it with the touch screen ..but the range of tilt will be limited. and for scuba diving ... the led touch screen i think has a depth range of 3ft only ..dont quote me on this ... but check that out before you consider buying this to work in conjunction with the touchscreen im assumi… see more yes it works with 3+ and you can use it with the touch screen ..but the range of tilt will be limited. and for scuba diving ... the led touch screen i think has a depth range of 3ft only ..dont quote me on this ... but check that out before you consider buying this to work in conjunction with the touchscreen im assuming your diving will be deeper than 3ft. see less

A:Floaty back door?

A:Yes it is the same exact one that I saw at bestbuy. The mount in the package is the same also

A:Yes!

A:yes, all the mounts work great with all the cameras

A:Yes you can and it's very sturdy and holds up well

A:Plastic and no it is made to fit a go pro

A:No it doesn't. If you dog "waddles" your footage will as well.If you shoot at a high frame rate it will look smooth.

A:it can, since the clamp is super tight; you can be creative on where to place the clamp. But it will vibrate a bit; as you're moving. If the board is greater than two inches, it will not work, since the clamp can open up so much. If the board is thin enough, then the clamp should be able to brace on anything tubular… see more it can, since the clamp is super tight; you can be creative on where to place the clamp.

A:Yes not a very large one though

A:The one I ordered is official GoPro and came packed in official GoPro packaging.

A:Yes. It remains attached to both windsurfing boards and snowboard when wet IF IT IS ALREADY ATTACHED. If you try to put it on an icy snowboard or wet windsurfing board, cling is suboptimal, but again, once attached, moisture and/or cold has little effect on suction.

A:Yes it does

A:Hi Calvin the wifi remote establishes a dedicated wifi connection to the camera the same way that the smartphone apps work. No wifi router neededCheers

A:Yes it does and there is also a nice app to put on your iPhone to operate the cameras

A:Yes it does fit the Hero3+, however the housing is more bulky (thick) then the Hero3+ std housing. In addition this housing has an acrylic rather then glass front lens port.

A:It's been a while, but I am positive that the product is original. I don't have the packaging anymore, however the product looks, feels and works like a GoPro Product.

A:No problem. Will grip the hat with the silicon-type grip that adheres to the inside of the headbands.

A:The adaptor set is called a converter.

A:Works great with mine. Mounted on a Porsche 911 up to 120 MPH. Anything faster than that and you're on your own! :-)

A:Yes. Everything that comes in the Side Mount kit is also included in the Grab Bag of mounts. The Grab Bag actually has more stuff in it, but does include everything from the Side Mount.

A:Yes. and its a good product.

A:Answer this question

A:Yes it does

A:Yes. GP4 has mini hdmi and mini USB ports.

A:Yes, it fits the hero 4 silver, but the backdoor has a rubber pad across the middle of the screen making it useless, if you want to see the LCD screen while shooting.

I ordered what was supposed to be the newer version directly from gopro, but they sent me the same as this one, with the pad which obscures the LCD. I am on a backordered list to get a replacement backdoor which does not have this problem. If you do not care about seeing the LCD screen (but you bought the hero 4, probablty in part because of it), then this will work. If you want to see what you are shooting, it will not. The only backdoors which work for this assume you have purchased a bacpack LCD screen, and it has pads which do not obscure the screen, but you can't use that with the hero 4 silver (unless you hack some additional pads in there to keep the camera firmly in place). see less

A:Yes, this mount would work perfect for both activities. I personally think its the most versitile mount for the gopro. Maybe order 2 of them so you can take the neck piece off one and attach it to the other for a longer neck.
