This product works great. My wife takes pictures of animals at dusk and with the remote she is able to let it be still. Really like this product. It would get 5 stars if the remote had a longer cord.

This remote shutter release works great. Has the ability to click once to release the shutter and a lock out for long exposures. I shot some great twilight shots of Downtown and was able to do so only because of this. My longest exposure was 45 seconds but this will allow you to shoot a 45 minute (or longer) exposure.

Product arrived on time.
It is about 2 feet long cord that plugs into the Sony Alpha with a button to activate the shutter. It allows for the halfway down effect that the actual shutter button performs. The Sony Alpha camera strap has a plastic gizmo to attach the cord to the strap for carrying around. Not sure I would do that.
Satisfied. Will work out well for taking night shots where I dnt want to move the camera when I press the shutter button, now I use this remote.

Before you spend $$ for this remote, make sure that you really need it. It’s good if you’re using your tripod a lot and also if you work with slow shutter speeds. Doesn’t make sense having it if it’s not on a tripod.
ALSO, after I bought this, I found that there’s a third party (Opteka) remote for about 1/4th the price. If only I’d see that earlier, I’d have saved myself some money.
This is indeed a good piece of equipment and is actually made by Sony so no complaints. But there’s something which is functionally good enough (if not quite as pretty) and I being of a thrifty nature would go for that instead.

The piece works great for your camera. (I own an a100). I have to say that I regret not having done more research before ordering it. There is a model that is made by Opteka that sells for $15 only. That is $45 cheaper than the sony. It is supposed to do everything that this little piece can do. (it’s not a very sophisticated piece) This is the reason that I give only 3 stars. Otherwise very satisfied.
