Default Cheap remote control for Dynax/Maxxum/Alpha =)

Hey guys, I've spotted a company on EBAY that sells cheap remote control for Dynax/Maxxum/Alpha =)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Cost is US$3.99 but shipping is US$13.01 worldwide Still it's cheaper than the $60 that Sony charges for their remote.

Anyone can organise an MO?

If you into DIY, no need to get longer version if you have the shorter version. Just insert a stereo plug in between. You can then plug in/out any length of cable in between them.

Stereo plug got 3 wires....R, L and ground. Just use each connection for half-press, full-press and the other for common. Just nice for this mod.
