I haven't mounted it outside on wing yet and have not used the standby. Right now it's mounted in gopro sticky quick mount on ceiling up and behind me and the instructor.
Others in forums and reviews have stated 2 hours or roughly in standby time. I have the Garmin virb remote also which is nice to hit for a quick photo while filming or to start and stop video recording. Works via Bluetooth.
My personal experience with the gopro session mounted under a Yak-yak wing the remote works OK until you are in the air and depending on moisture and mount location. If it's a high wing plane should work fine but if it's mounted under the wing of a low wing or tail section the airframe and other factors tend interfere with remote once under way. I was using my phone's Bluetooth and not a official gopro remote in that situation though. Once airborne or taking off it struggled to connect to the session.

The virb remote works well but I don't use as much as I have gotten lazy and just turn the virb on before I take off.
Here is the Garmin directions for enabling wake up mode on the virb 30. Which is same as gopro I think.
