This is a remote shutter release for your Sony Alpha DSLR with a 10 foot cable. Works exactly as you’d expect; half press focuses the camera if you’re in AF mode, full press then releases the shutter taking the picture.
The product is indeed different from the picture as a previous reviewer stated so make sure to view his additionally added picture which is correct.
I use this remote for my A-100 and as some reviewer stated, it sometimes fails to work because the plug doesn’t get fully seated into the outlet. Make sure to really push it in there. If it’s not working, just take it out and try putting it in again. The remote just completes the circuit of the three-pin connection so if its not working, its most likely the connection and not a defective remote.
Buy the 10′ foot remote instead of the 3′ remote because it barely costs more and you can always keep the extra cordage velcro strapped up when you don’t need the extra length.
Good overall product and I plan to get tons of use out of this when taking family portraits that I want to be in and when taking tripod mounted long exposure shots.
Happy shooting.

Item arrived in a timely manor. Package not damaged.
Connected to my Sony Ax100.
Would not work after many, many trys.
Took 10′ cord to Wolf Camera for help.
They could not get it to work.
Tried to contact Sony about problem.
No help.
You win some, you loose some, some are not worth
the hassle.

I haven’t had a chance to use it much, but for the price I wanted one to have for the occasion I needed it. It seems to work great and a much better price than the brand name one.

Really nice product for the price. I would like to eventually go to a wireless remote, but for now this is perfect! Recommend for anyone who is a photographer on a budget!

The price was good for this item but probably will purchase the Sony one for future use. This one fits the remote shutter connector but kinda hard to do.
Sometimes a low price is not the best value. Have not used in the field yet but was actually reluctant to connect to my
Sony A350 as at first it did not seem compatible.
If budget is a factor, this is probably a good deal but if you want complete confidence, purchase the Sony.
