Product Description

 This Wireless RF (Radio Frequency) Shutter Release Kit enables you to release the shutter in both wireless and wired modes. The system produces a coded radio signal that works indoors, outdoors, around corners even through walls. It has an effective working range of up to 100 ft.  RF Kit also provides 16 multi-coded channels, giving the photographer plenty of combinations to work with, without jamming the frequency. To use the RF kit wireless, simply attach  the receiver (Blue LED Indicator will blink to indicate receiver is on) to the camera, then use the transmitter to trigger the shutter release. Using the RF kit wired is easily done by attaching the receiver onto the camera, then press the shutter release button located on the receiver. The cord on the receiver is approx. 3ft in length, allowing for ample mobility for photographer positioning. In both wired and wireless modes, press the shutter release halfway to activate auto focus (Red LED indicator will come on to confirm on receiver), then press button  fully to take a picture. High quality and durable design make this Wireless RF Shutter Release Kit stand out amongst the competition of inexpensive and mediocre kits. The receiver can be conveniently mounted on top of your camera (You don't have to, if you need to mount the flash)

This review is from: "Aputure" Pro Coworker Wireless Remote, RF Radio Shutter Release for Sony Alpha DSLR-A300, A200, A700, A900, A100, A380, A500, A550, A850, A450,A290, A390, A580, SLT-A33, A55, Minolta Maxxum 5D, 7D, 7, 9xi, 7xi, 5xi, Fully Compatible with Sony RML1AM Remote Commander (Electronics)

I have the Sony Alpsa A100 and this is the perfect solution for a remote shuter release. It works flawlessly and is very reliable.I can take the picture from more than 15ft away.

It is high quality and easy to use.

The only con is that the adapter used to fit to the A100 results in the product dangling from the camera. But, that is the only way any adapter will connect to the A100 anyway. So its ok.

The product works fine, but it is not really designed for Sony alpha, so the transmitter is large (designed to fit on flash shoe)

While it worked satisfactorily, be aware that the cable (for wired function) is quite short

I got This remote for my Sony A100, it works great and I can fire the shutter for well over 15 feet align sight. For some reason the remote battery went dead in like 1 month but I think it was just cause it was the cheap stock battery. The only thing I wish was different about this remote which kept me from giving it 5 stars, is you have to extend the antenna on the remote or it won't work.. I wish it could trigger without that thing out... Other than that I'm very happy.
