Sony Remote Control ?

King Tiger · 10th July 2004

I am thinking to buying Sony Remote Control for my night shot, marco and tele photo shot.
There are 2 models : Sony Remote Control RM-DR1 and RM-VD1

But I am not sure which one to chose.

Was thinking to RM-DR1 since black color is more suit to F828, but seem to be out of stock everywhere.

RM-VD1 is nice (Song Brother is selling at $95, still under consideration)

Any one have any of the following remote control? Do share your commets for my decision making, thanks.

Just happen to be at the Sony square at Orchard Emerald yesterday. They have plenty of stock for RMDR1($100) and F32X ($350). was thinking to buy the RM-DR1 with my sony 20 bucks voucher...but alas...need to spend $120 bucks to use it. Darn!

Hi Rexus

Forgot to inform you all, I was at Mustafa yesterday (along Sernagoon Road, Little India), and saw F32X selliing @ $289, can pay by credit card.
I think only 2~3 pcs left on the shelf.

I have the RM-VD1. It's very small and well built. Buttons feel responsive too. I don't know about the black one. I saw it in the shops before, kind of old design. Unless it cost half of the RM-VD1, else I don't see any reason to get it.

I saw it at Song Brother Plaza Singapura, they are selling at $95.

Image will be blur even with tripod, unless you use remote or the 10 secs timer. All of us have this kind of experience before.

I have a VD1 left over from my F828. I kept it because of my Sony video cams. But frankly, I probably won't use it once in the next two years, since I also have the remote control tripod.

It's about 4 to 5 months old. Used maybe two or three times. Comes with the packaging, pouch and receipt. Condition is new as new can be.

I am offering it to you first at $60. Price is firm. Do PM me if you are intrested.

berns, he dun wan den i take... kinda sick of the remote on my tripod...

rexus · 22nd July 2004

VD1 is good!.... I like the clip as it can be clip to the tripod or neck strap. Can use it in the future for Video cam too... Its small and handy. and is able to power up or down ur F828 directly.
