GoPro UG H10-H9 Remote Control User Guide
The First Step
You may need to upgrade your camera’s software before you can use The Remote. For step-by-step instructions, go to gopro.com/update.
The GoPro brand is known for its action cameras that capture high-quality video and photos in various extreme environments. While GoPro cameras usually come with a built-in remote control functionality through their companion mobile app, there are also standalone remote control devices available for more convenient and hands-free operation. However, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, GoPro had not released a separate physical remote control specifically designed for their cameras.
It’s important to note that GoPro regularly introduces new products and updates its lineup, so there may have been developments since my knowledge cutoff. I recommend visiting the official GoPro website or contacting their customer support for the most up-to-date information on remote control options for GoPro cameras.
