Product Reviews

This was purchased to overcome the problem caused by using an L bracket which prevents access to ports when in portrait mode. However, the Bluetooth connection became intermittent after a few months and after ca 21 months the remote failed completely. Since I'd spent over £6000 pounds since I switched to a Sony system 3 years I contacted support asking if they would contribute to the cost of a new one. I hoped they would perhaps sell me one at cost but this was quickly rejected and they suggested I fit a new battery to fix the problem. I had already told them this was the first thing I had done which suggests they only skim read when assessing submissions to their support site. Not impressed.

i purchased remote commander over 1 month ago, as i use it for bird photography. excellent for medium zoom telephoto lenses using a tripod, it works well with my camera.

The RMT-P1BT is briliant. I used it in the National Archives Kew on a camera stand, photgraphed 530 pages of documents, without touch the camera, in 3 hours. It cost £65 from amazon. Worth every penny. Hope it can made to operated FDR X3000.

Very happy with this remote. Great to be able to link with Bluetooth rather than risk plugging in cables continually to the camera body – also much quicker. Lock function very useful as prevents battery drain and accidental shutter release. No lag for shutter when using the shutter release button. Extremely useful to be able to focus manually by using the focus buttons and so avoids touching the lens when on a tripod. To use the focus buttons set your camera to manual focus rather than the via the lens. The custom button C1 matches the settings assigned to C1 on your camera – very useful – I have focus magnifier assigned to this just so I can check focus or just view in detail what I am looking at – eg like using binoculars to observe more closely in wildlife photography. 5 stars.

Works perfectly on my A7RIV. Ideal for photography on a tripod. Can configure one of the buttons to your choice of function . Also can keep in pocket away from rain and cold and has decent range. Much more useable than remotes with annoying tangled wires. Highly recommended.
