To what depth is it safe to use the remote with this product? I believe the "naked" remote is rated by Go Pro for use to a depth of 10 feet.

Hi, the pole can be used under water as it is not sealed - so there is no depth limit. The remote is not sealed off by the remote pole, so this will make no difference to the depth GoPro suggests. Also, Wi-Fi does not work underwater so using your remote underwater does not make much sense. In any case make sure to rinse the pole with fresh water after use in saltwater.

I get about 150' out of mine. Much has to do with the battery, objects between you and your vehicle, where you placed your receiver. I use mine on my sons quad while its on the trailer. The remote will sound several hundred feet away and through glass when you set the alarm off.

This remote control has very short working distance. About 3 meter maybe...I have same trouble.

I can get up to 22 ft, but when I hold the "OFF" or "ON" switch, I have to hold it for 10 seconds to get that distance. I really enjoy this equipment.

I used it at 40 feet (12 meters) and is OK. They say in manual/machine that you can go up to 30 meters. I have the old one (d10) and used at 24 meters even with maximum defined for 12 meters. So you can go further but do not use microphone (avoid recording audio on deeper dives ok? you will broke you mic, I did it. Still take pictures, but no sound if I record videos). It is simple, easy, cool. Just set it to underwater before starting your dive. If you keep it in automatic mode you can have some pictures not very clear, with a light blue image... if you set it to underwater, clear and great pictures. Very easy to use. Do some trials before diving, try it in a swimming pool... and enjoy!

I don't have the remote with me, as I'm on vacation. I believe it's around 1.5 inches. If in doubt check with Directed Electronics.

I got my 100' tape measure out and tested the remote for this unit. It topped out at 37'. Line of sight only. Will not go through walls or around doors.I can't explain the disparity between my range tested and Mr. Henderson's range. As well, the on and off was nearly instant the whole distance until it stopped responding completely at 37'. Either way, 22' or 37', this is a really nice piece of equipment.

I don't know the depth range, as I use it for water aerobics and not underwater. The manufacturer should have that info. though.

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.

That's going to be pushing it. If it's a clear line of sight, it *might* work, but I'd hate to bet my life on it. Realistically, since this is the best of the consumer remotes, if you absolutely, positively need it to work 100% of the time, you're likeky going to have to bite the bullet and step up to a large, heavy, expensive professional unit, such as the PerfectCue (dsan.com/CueLights/PerfectCueMini.asp).

I found this youtube review, it's safer to use down to 50 feet, but these guys took it down to 130 feet and was still working. I would say to use caution, perhaps it's ok at 130 feet for a few seconds. If you want something for diving, it's always advisable to buy something that has a specific waterproof housing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7LQvCZm8M

I have not had any problems with the remote in my room of 18 x 45 feet. The remote is similar to a DVD remote. Very important to let the unit cool down before shutting off. This is to extend the life of the bulb. I have previously mentioned that the unit should not be left on a power circuit to extend the life of the entire unit and also saves energy. The setup and operation is very easy. Be sure to also check online for updates before you try and use the unit. These updates keep the unit up to date and be able to handle the media you feed it.

Wall penetration is going to be hard for me to answer, a lot factors in with that such as materials. My living room is about 20ft long and I have no issues anywhere using it. I would assume that if your 360 remote reaches so will this. I was pleased with mine, after having concerns based on price. The connection seems really responsive and the battery last fairly well (will go dead slowly while off).

Not if you plan on going deeper than a foot or two. I took mine down about 10 ft and the camera was ruined. GoPro or camera with a diving housing is the way to go.

I just bought the remote for the exact reason you mentioned about the Microsoft remote. I needed more range when I was listening to music while doing other things in my home, something the harmony does wonderfully. I can leave the room with it and walk into my kitchen, point it toward the television, and all my devices can still receive commands. I'd say its about 40 feet (although I will admit I'm terrible at estimating distances) and it worked fine. I guess it is worth mentioning that my walls are white and have a tendency to bounce IR signals better because of that, but overall it would seem the remote is powerful enough for anyone's usage habits. Highly recommended.

The range is not applicable as the remote attaches to the camera with a wire- it plugs into the camera directly. The wire is short- about 1 foot.
