Since the remote control is easily recharged already delivered state can thus already equal to go. GoPro hereby recommends the remote control with the included USB cable to recharge before about one hours, but there is no harm in advance before the connection to the GoPro manufacture.
As also described in the manual, the commissioning is relatively quick and easy made. First Man on his GoPro, activates the wifi, then selects the menu of GoPro wireless / wifi RC. Now you can switch the remote control with which these the GoPro investigated immediately. If the camera is found, you can add more, or complete the whole. Since the camera is now connected to the remote control, the app can of course no longer use this but you have to simply choose again in the Wireless Settings app.
If you have the connection to his GoPro with the remote control produced only once, the camera can be easily controlled to a distance of up to 180m. There are 3 or 4 Hero differences depending on the camera model, you should refer to his model the information in the manual. The Settings button therefore only works with the Hero 4 models.
The attached lanyard is also quite handy, so you can fix the remote control on the wrist or for example the bicycle handlebar. The key ring provides additional security again.
