I ordered this product for my sony HDR CX 130E handycam I wanted a remote to control zoom function and to click a photo or start video recording without touching the controls on camera to avoid image shake, as my handycam does not have multiple port but it supports remote operation via av terminal I was not able to find a decently priced remote any where but luckily one day I found this offer on tanotis and ordered it without wasting a second and product has delivered exactly what I wanted. I can zoom in and zoom out at two variable speeds I can click a photo start and stop recording without touching the controls on camera which results in a shake free image this remote can easily be clamped on the tripod pan handle so I can operate the tripods pan movement and camera controls with only one hand right from my tripod pan handle very easily and know I can use my second hand to stabilize the tripod. On the top of that this remote is way cheaper than the sony's original remote commander rm av2 or any other third party remote, built quality is just great does not feel cheap. Now to record my self I can adjust the cam without any hassle as the cables length is long enough to control camera from my seat only thing I need to adjust manually is the tripods positioning .
