Sony RM-VPR1 télécommande

I dont have anything great to say about this remote besides that it affords me the opportunity to take some really long exposures. The wire that that connect the remote to the camera seems quite flimsy and it doesnt connect cleanly. I do anticipate the wire being damaged. Aside from that, it does what you need it to do.

Worked once and not since then. Cannot get shutter release to work. Save your money

First, I don't use a remote that often-- I am an enthusiast, not a pro. Even with infrequent use, these remotes are awful. I have bought several of them and not one has lasted a year. Within a few months, the connection begins to wiggle in the port and therefore the remote loses contact with the camera.... which means you are constantly repushing the cable into the port. And before long, the button that slides to the hold position stops "holding". Even when you resort to manually pressing the button for the entire time you wish the shutter to remain open, it releases and the shutter fires before you wish it to. At first I thought it was me-- but the customer service at B+H where I bought the first one said they have heard what I am saying before. VERY POOR PRODUCT on Sony's part.

This compact remote control is powered from the camera, so now changing batteries! It easily clips to a tripod handle or stabilizer grip to give you a very smooth zoom control with no handling noise or shaking when using the zoom toggle on the camera. This is the best $50 I've ever spent and now I shoot like a pro!

the remote commander for the sony a7 works great. just plug into multiport on side of camera and your ready. no batteries required.
