YEE Be Buying
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2025
Why did I wait so long to get this RMT-DSLR2 remote? I've bought quite a few stuff for my photography hobby over the year, and hands down, this remote is the best gear I've purchased to add to the bag, and only for $7! There's so many out there to choose from, but lets just stop here, give this remote a try, and if you're not satisfy then you only dropped $7.The RMT-DSLR2 remote is the exact design as Sony's with the same functions, and features, except the only difference is the name Sony on it and for the price of $30. Your three main buttons are shutter button that snaps photos, 2 sec button that snaps a photo after 2 seconds, and the red button for start and stop recording. You can also view back photos, delete photos, and access the camera's menu. For all the other buttons, you can look up Sony's user manual, which I've included screen shots with photo's here, or find it on Youtube. Note that for the other button's features, camera will have to be connected to an external viewing device through HDMI.The remote uses infrared (IR) to communicate to the camera so, when using the controller, make sure not to block the IR sensor located on the camera body handle. If blocked, the camera will not take photos, or react to the controller. I see comments regarding the distance camera can receive signal from remote being poor, and believe or not, I was able to get the camera to take photo's up to 90ft. Now this won't be the case for everyone due to interference, and obstruction, with IR signal but I did notice the most effective distance was around 35 feet and under.All in all I highly recommend this remote for your bag. If you do recordings, you can easily press start and stop recording from a distance, or access menu, without having to go back and forth between takes. And if you do product photography, or astro-photography, and portraits, this remote helps rid of shake in camera wile its mounted on tripod, because you won't have to touch the camera itself. It's affordable, easy to use, and you'll be glad you got it for when you need it. Enjoy and stay clicking away one moment at a time!Camera Body used with RMT-DSLR2 Remote: Sony A6400note: Remote requires a CR2025 battery so don't forget to add one to cart before checkout

Works as expected and inexpensive compared to Sony cost. No instructions and no battery but easy to figure out.

I was never able to get this remote to work. It seemed so simple. It didn't come with a manual (even though the back of the device tells you to look at the manual for instructions). One star is given because they imprinted the battery type (hint: CR2025) on the battery tray, along with the subtle hint about the positive side orientation. I confirmed that I had a new CR2025 battery. Didn't work, so I tried both directions. I also confirmed the settings on my Sony A6400 camera and that the IR remote setting was on.Ultimately it didn't work. I hope this helps.

ソニーカメラ7M3用に正面から照射する赤外線リモコン『RMT-DSLR2』を安価で購入した。届いたのは元箱無し、取扱説明書無しの中古品と思われる。新品ボタン電池をセットして動作確認したら動作しない。カメラ本体、リモコンのどちらに問題あるか分からない。大阪梅田のソニーストアまで出向いて動作確認して貰ったら、同型の新品リモコンは正常に動作するのに、持参のリモコンは動作しないので不運と諦めた。このため、不安定さを懸念して同型リモコンの新品は求めず、電波リモコン『RMT-P1BT』をソニーストアで購入した次第です。

We had difficulty opening the battery compartment. It has a small 1/8 of an inch piece of plastic that moves to open compartment to access the battery holder. It broke trying to open it. Now we will replace it with a new one.

It works most of the time. It's a decent replacement for the price.

I have not had a chance to compare this remote control to the original Sony version but for all practical purposes it works great and every button does exactly what I woud expect it to do. These are the functions of the remote I tested with Sony A7RIIIA camera:1. Shutter: starts autofocus (if camera has it enabled) and then triggers shutter release (similar to camera own shutter release button).2. [Shutter] 2 sec: camera beeps during 2-second delay and then performs the same as in #13. Start/Stop: starts/stops video recording regardless of the camera mode (the same as the video button on the back of the camera - needs to be enabled in the menu)4. Disp: cycles through display modes5. Histogram: toggles histogram mode6. Play: same as the play button on the camera7. Slideshow: triggers the slideshow mode (cycles over all the images in the camera)8. Zoom +/- : triggers 1x-4x digital zoom (works with JPEG files only and when digital zoom is enabled)9. Menu: triggers camera menu10. Up/Down/Left/Right/Center: work the same way as the camera control wheel buttons11. Delete: works the same way as the camera delete button12 Print: does not seem to do anything (likely because I do not have printing setup in the camera) The range in front of the camera is more than 30ft. It also works from behind (need to be close to the camera)
