I’m not sure how the settings work because mine wakes up the camera and the 30 minute timer in the settings is turned off. After it’s connected if the camera times out after the default 5 minutes, or I turn it off manually, it can be turned back on without instantly recording by pressing the link button on the side. But I have literally just taken it out of the box about 20 minutes ago. Correct me if I’m wrong but if your concern is that it’s going to disconnect in the 30 minute timeframe, couldn’t you just quickly click the side button to give it a five minute wake up every 20 minutes or so? And for whatever it’s worth, if you click the side button quickly five times, it switches to a different mode and reads out a bunch of gps information.
@ninerpeak

The issue is, if you leave the camera turned off for over certain time the Bluetooth remote cannot wake it up which is annoying. GoPro does this for several hours when Osmo only allows 30 mins which is too short. It could be firmware update because there was no timer setting to keep Bluetooth connection alive when camera was turned off. When riding motorcycles I don’t want to play with pressing multiple buttons. I am looking for one press solution where the cameras just start recording. GoPro has been doing this for years, I was hoping DJI can add that feature as software update and let users manage the battery expectations. Because of this issue I don’t really use the remote anymore while riding. Only for specific applications. Thanks for sharing the GPS information trick. Will try it out.

The camera shuts down its own Bluetooth and the remote goes to connecting screen.

The remote connects back even if it was turned off as long as the synced camera was not turned off over 20 mins. The camera turning off after 20 mins is what kills the connection.

Considering the remote's primary function is to start/stop camera recordings, $125 for this very basic device is absofreakinlutely ricockulous. I would like to access the GPS data from my Action 4, but I can't see myself paying that much money for this device just for that option. I totally understand how useful the remote is for someone that rides, but I don't really do anything to where I would actually need the remote. At any rate, this video helped to solidify my decision to NOT purchase the remote... at least not for the asking price for it.

So instead most use quick capture for instant on and record but then the gps doesn’t sync. I agree it’s still dumb to remove and it would screw with one use for me which is track driving events where programs like Harry’s lap timer or race chrono use the gps to auto sync with your lap information. I think Dji method of keeping it in the remote is smarter though, it can stay linked to the gps and the camera doesn’t need to stay on burning up the battery.
