new GoPro Remo
While GoPro's handy
smartphone control app or simply shouting might often be an option, the company
has now outed a more elegant solution. The Remo is a small voice-controlled,
wireless remote that can be used with GoPro's new voice-enabled cameras.
It can pick up and understand commands in 10
languages and then relay them to the camera at a range of up to 33 feet, or
around 10 meters. There is a shutter button on it as well. The small gadget is
also pretty tough and can actually be submerged to about 16 feet. As for the
commands themselves, there are a total of 13 and they cover all the basics you
might need, like starting and stopping a recording, shooting bursts, changing
modes and even turning off the camera.
The Remo remote is available now with a price tag of US$ 80, which isn't exactly cheap, but is still reasonable in GoPro terms. The
gadget also comes just in time for the holiday season and in typical GoPro
fashion, the ad video paints a very appealing picture as to possible use cases.
That being said, we have no doubt that the Revo will end up on a lot of gift
shopping lists. Plus, GoPro currently has a Hero Session Holiday Bundle that
might also be worth checking out.
