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

Good
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.

Just OK but good value
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.

Nice remote but...
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.

Does what it says
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.

Batteries?
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.

Hi riboston, This remote commander doesn't use batteries. This is a plug and play device and can be used once connected to the camera via the Multi USB cable.
Wired remote commander for Sony RX10-IV
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.
