Very small: 3 3/8" X 1 5/8" X 1/4" Easily fits in the smallest camera bag. A mini tripod will be required for your camera (or you could prop it up against something) because the camera front must face the remote. This is a line-of-sight device. It doesn't have much power so you have to aim it right at the camera to make it work. That said, I'm satisfied. Well worth the small expense, convenience of sitting back in a chair/couch and reviewing the days video work before heading to the computer.

Bought this unit to use with my Playtouch ZX5. Warning, it does not work with the ZX5. The only button that does operate is the start and stop button for the record function. All others are non-operable.

I recently received the Kodak PlaySport HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera and although I have yet to use it anywhere that the waterproof feature has been tested, it has been used in plenty of other situations.
The main reason I decided to buy the remote control was for my daughters use. She is in High School and this year has been a year for video essays and other required video assignments. Previously I had been letting her borrow my Canon ZR830, but the Kodak Playsport is so much easier for that type of use. Upon opening I was able to figure out the remote functions fairly easy even without instructions. Now the camera can be set up (On the KODAK Flexi-Tripod purchased directly from KODAK) and we can film from across the room or where ever it is at that time.
Also it's a very good deal here on Amazon with the lowest price I was able to find anywhere.

This a a very basic remote that serves it's purpose. You have to be fairly close to the camera (in front) to use it. For the price it is a no brainer... Good Deal.

A little dissapointed cause it will not turn camera on or off. Buttons are not marked so you have to remember which button does what. ( I can never remember) Also if camera is not used for maybe 5 minutes it automaticly shuts off and you have to manually turn camera on to use the remote. I also found out that my TV remote seems to work on the camera also.

I love the camera and wanted to have this accessory. It seems to be able to do everything you can do from the camera itself. Since there's no slideshow option on the camera, this is great to play back videos directly on your TV at home. You can also use it to operate the shutter if you want to take a self portrait.

It's a really cool remote. great compatibility with the Kodak zi8. However I really wish you could power the camcorder remotely. Unfortunately you can't turn it On/Off with this remote. You'll have to do it manually. Which is kind of a drag. However the "record" button is the only thing that makes up for this shortcoming.
You'll get the most out of it when you HDMI your camcorder to at TV. Either wise I'd think twice before buying it.

Bought this to go with my new Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 camera. It worked fine.. EXCEPT.. that camera seems to only "see" the remote signals if you click it from the front of the camera. You can be way off to the side, so you do not have to be in the picture.. but you cannot be behind the camera and use the remote as a remote shutter or video camera record/stop button.
I tested this with my old Z950 camera and it did NOT work with that camera. Be sure to check what models this works with before purchasing.

Pretty Good Camera
The Kodak camera (Kodak closed) is a pretty fair product and was worth the money BUT the anti-shake feature doesn't work very well.

It doesn't do what it says it will do
This cheap, universal remote is supposed to zoom the camera lens in and out. it doesn't. it will only start and stop recording... that is it, nothing more. Read more

Works great with Kodak PlaySport (Zx3) HD Pocket Camcorder/Camera!

First of all, this camera is "AWESOME". The stills are okay, but the HD video and sound is excellent for such a small camera. Read more

Excellent Product for Posting Sessions to YouTube
Looked at a number of more expensive cameras and settled on this one. It does mount to a tripod and does have a lapel mike available as an optional purchase.

not worth it
This remote won't turn the camera on so it is useless. If you turn the camera on it will stop and start the camera but it won't turn it on when the camera shuts down. Read more
