Sony RM-VPR1 Remote Control with Multi Terminal Cable

2024-08-01T20:00:00

It is an essential tool for long exposure shots. The ability to zoom via this remote controller is very useful in many usage scenarios. One complain is the micro-USB connection to the camera - it is not secure, resulting in accidental disconnect during use. To mitigate this risk, I use a carabiner hook (from an old SONY GPS tracker) to secure it on my tripod.

It`s perfect for what I need it to. It has a small base for attaching it to the camera. Sony is the best.

This remote trigger in combination with my A7ii works exactly as I hoped it would for landscape shots. It makes long exposures a piece of cake when combined with a solid tripod

This accessory is an absolute requirement and I give it the highest possible rating. It is lightweight and functions for both still and motion photography. It is fast and easy to setup and extremely easy to use. The provided clamp allows you to clip it onto the tripod giving you hands-free operation. On top of all of this, quick and easy zoom control is also possible. I love it.

I bought this remote control to use with my Sony RX10 IV. It works well when you want to zoom out and use that 24-600mm lens range. When placed on a tripod my macro and telephoto photos come out better with no shake. Also you can control video using it too. Just nice to have with you when the need arises.

I bought this item to be used on my camcorder and Rx10 camera. I have not use it much yet but so far it does the job. It would have been much better if there is no cable.

Good deal for the price but 2 issues, 1. clamp is pretty weak and rotates on a handle shaft but I wrapped some tape around the handle and it's much better. 2. The zoom seems non linear, very slow then jumps to fast when pressing in/out.

A really good remote release. Works not only the shutter but also focus and zoom. Locks for bulb exposures. Has a separate and dedicated video start/stop button. Very handy to have the spring clip on the back that is removable. Will definitely recommend.

Use this with my A7S-II. As a remote for still photography it is great. Shooting video the record stop / start is easier to use on the remote than on the camera but I have had a few times when it didn't start or stop during a professional shoot. Like others my main concern is the rough zoom control. Wish it was smooth so it could be a live zoom control. It also doesn't clip well on my tripod. Wish the clip opened a bit wider and would rotate. I use G series lens and the zoom would not work at all because I had my camera set to "optical zoom only". Figured out the nmenu had to be on "clear Image zoom", whatever that means, for the remote zoom to function. It should work in the optical setting too. Their is also a power on/off switch which turns the camera on and off. Not sure if it will save battery power since the camera is still physically switched on but during the shoot you can turn the camera on and off through the remote trigger. Again, in still photography this remote works great for long exposures. You can also lock the shutter open. I recomend it as a remote. Just know it's weakness and I hope Sony might take the zoom rocker and ability to better fit on tripods into account as the product matures or is replaced.

I have been trying to find a good remote shutter release for my Sony cameras. My local camera store sold me an off-brand that I was able to use twice, then it wouldn't connect with the camera. It was also very hard to use the button: I had to press it 2 or 3 times to work. This remote release works perfectly with all 3 of my Sony mirrorless cameras. I like being able to look through the viewfinder and zoom in or out to get my composition. All the functions work on all my cameras: the A7II, A6300 and RX10 III.

This tool has helped so much in preventing camera shake. It has been a pleasure to use.

Remote is great could us a longer cable, given the connector style is not easy to find. Use on RX10 III

It works great with my Sony FDR -AX100 4K camcorder. Thank you for getting the information from the reviews in the feedback. The delivery is quick.

Works as expected. You do, however, have to consciously hold the button down allowing time to focus before you push all the way for shutter release.

Looked for a remote to go with my DSC-RX100 M3 and found the VPR1. All functions provided work perfectly. Great for videos as well as stills. 1st impressions were that it felt slightly flimsy in hand, but has proved to be solid enough for the job.

Tell me I didn't just buy a ridiculously overpriced disposable shutter release. Can't find the the battery cover? Bad enough I didn't have any other options for a cable release.

The device is well designed and made The inclusion of a cable to use with older Sony and Minolta cameras is excellent

Works as advertised. Would have given 5 stars if not for price.

The rocker switch has a 'course' rather than 'fine' feel to it. Difficult to be precise for our shooters and perhaps other camera operators will have a more deft sense of touch. A big negative is this remote mounts on the pan bar at a 90 degree angle rather than inline as most remotes and LANC controllers do. Since this device has no competition, users (of PJ540's anyway) are sort of stuck with it. But, since it is the only game in town, it's better than not having a remote.

all functions work with HX300 , zoom, focus, video record, power on -off,except for the 2nd push to actually take a photo. that's a big problem since I got it eliminate hand shake when shooting stills with extreme zoom.
