Product Reviews

I needed a remote control for the Sony A7iii camera for long exposer pictures and I came across this remote. Just make sure to turn on the IR Camera remote setting to "ON". By default, it is turned off. Go to the Settings tool box / page 3 / IR Remote control. If it does not work, simply remove the camera battery and then turn back on and it should work. You can point the remote to the front or back of the camera to make it work. Hope this helps !

Very pleased with the remote use it all the time on the tripod

I'm using this on my a6000. First of all, the battery replacement on my copy has been impossible without ruining the lid. Secondly, there are so many unnecessary buttons that won't work on mirrorless anyways. There should just be a simple shutter on and off, with maybe a timer. I hope they make a new one. Also, it works about half of the time, even when pointed at the camera.

Bought this to use with Sony A7R 11 camera. Works very well straight out of the box without any problem. Can be used with any angle to the camera. Ideal for family protraits.

I just bought this product 2 days ago and I am good with

I purchased for my husband on 12/3/16 but TV was not opened or installed until 12/25/2016. Easier to register by mail.

Great product, Compatible with NEX 7 and take control of photo from a distance very well.

Works Fine For What I Want It For, Only Tried On The Shutter Buttons For Now. Do Remember To Turn On "REMOTE CTRL" (GO INTO SETUP #3) There Is Nothing In The Manual About This.

Agree with comment below. Only the shutter and rec buttons work with my NEX 6 and A57.

A cable release or wireless? I often take macro shots so the ability to get away from the camera body is great. With a cable release in the past there had been times when I would inadvertently pull on the cable or somehow let it slap against the body. Wireless does away with all that. Keep it in my bag all the time now

I own numerous Sony Cameras ranging from higher end P&S, plus (3) Alpha cameras. Decided to buy the RMT-DSLR2 genuine higher end Sony Remote with all the additional features it is supposed to enable. I already use lower cost remotes for the Alphas that only work the Shutter as designed, and they work just fine, but decided to buy the genuine Sony multi-function unit. Sadly this RMT-DSLR2 with all of its features and functions is only enabling the Shutter Release and Movie Start & Stop. Some (13) other functions of this Remote have no effect on or from the A77 Camera. Have gone to the absolute ends in trying to make all the functions work, a NO go. Sony needs to revise their ad's!

I had looked at the wired remote commanders and then saw the RMT-DSLR2, which allowed greater flexibility and removed the restriction of cable length. It works like a dream, even from behind the camera. As I own two A77V DSLRs I just need to test if the remote will activate both at the same time. If yes, then this is a real WOW!!

I bought this but it doesn't seem to do anything with my A77, or A7S. How do I get it to control these cameras?

Useful for remote video recording (up to 10 metres) for Alpha 99

Compact, well made, very functional. Does what it says on the instructions.

So I purchased this remote for use with my A77, Which it works fine with. Not all the buttons operate my camera, but the ones i need do, shutter control and video control. It has been an awesome addition to my set up. Excellent build quality as to be expected with Sony, and ease of use. Very Happy With My Purchase.

I purchased this to use with my A7r for self portraits, family pictures that will include me for a change and long exposure, low light landscapes. Everything works perfectly...and for $30 USD! Well done Sony!

it came out while shopping for an a3000 but wont work with it :(

Does my camera need access to WiFi to use with this remote ?

I have been using this product now for a few months. The product has many, many functions available to the user, the most commons ones to capture and image and also have the 2 second timer. (Fanstastic for self portraits) I am aware that this product is brand new to the market when I am writing this but I am afraid it fails in some respects. (Just so the readers know, I use this with my A77, so it MAY have a different effect for others) 1. The only features that seem to work are 2 buttons on the entire remote 2. The instructions received with the remote were very difficult to comprehend. It seems to miss some steps and actually took me days to figure out and many emails to Sony It turns out (Whilst I was told repeatedly it automatically sincs with the camera, it doesn't.....# The user needs to to configure the camera to accept commands from the remote 3. The unfortunate thing is that this is the only remote available presently, Overall... realisticly, I only need the shutter buttons. The other buttons like Display and Play and everything else create an effect that can only be seen from behind the camera anyways. So these particular features are not that important. Otherwise, when I did eventually figure it out. The product was easy to use, never failed, had a great range for wireless use. #However does not work from behind the camera, only infront).
