Digital camera reviews of Sony RM-S1AM Remote Commander for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera
Digital camera Review: Excellent for Tripod use
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Good but cheaper options are available
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: RM-S1AM Remote Commander
Summary: 5 Stars
I have quite a tremor in both hands making smear-proof photography rather challenging. So I decided, on a recommendation from a professional photographer-friend, to try the remote control. I found that most all of my pictures taken with my Sony Alfa 100 are now on a tripod. The control works perfect and the length of the cord is short enough not to get tangled in my equipment. A half-push of the button allows auto focus and lock and push the rest of the way snaps the shutter. When it's plugged into the camera, both the camera button and the remote work at the same time so I can grab my camera for an action shot using the camera trigger and let the control just dangle to one side. I highly recommend it if camera shake is a problem and makes tripod work fun. The price is also reasonable.Digital camera Review: Remotes are great
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
