What does the RMT-VP1K Remote Commander and IR Receiver Kit do?
It's a wireless infrared remote control system for compatible Sony cameras that lets you control shooting without touching the camera. This supports both still image and movie recording, which is helpful for wildlife, long exposures, group photos, and selfies.
What's included in the RMT-VP1K kit?
The kit includes a remote commander and an IR receiver, along with a clip stand so you can secure the receiver anywhere. The receiver connects to the camera via a 350 mm cable for flexible placement.
Which Sony cameras is the RMT-VP1K compatible with?
It's designed for Sony cameras with a Multi Terminal, and it can also be used with cameras that have an IR sensor, though some functions may be limited when using only the camera's IR sensor.
What remote functions does the RMT-VP1K support?
Supported functions include half-press autofocus, shutter release, bulb lock for long exposures, movie REC start/stop, zoom control with compatible power zoom lenses, and time code reset on supported models.
How does the RMT-VP1K extend IR coverage?
The included IR receiver provides horizontal 360° reception and approximately ±15° vertical coverage, greatly expanding the usable IR area beyond the camera's built-in sensor. This enables remote operation from beside or behind the camera, not just from the front.
Can the RMT-VP1K control multiple cameras at once?
Yes, it can operate multiple cameras when set up accordingly, which is useful for multi-angle and synchronized shooting. A channel selector (CH1–CH3) helps prevent interference when multiple systems are used in the same environment.
How is the RMT-VP1K IR receiver mounted?
The receiver can be attached to a tripod or the Multi Interface Shoe, or secured with the included clip stand, making positioning flexible around the camera body.
What batteries does the RMT-VP1K remote commander use?
The remote commander is powered by two AAA batteries, either alkaline or manganese. The remote weighs approximately 30 g without batteries and operates in temperatures from 0–40°C (32–104°F).
How much does the RMT-VP1K Remote Commander and IR Receiver Kit cost?
MSRP is listed as $69.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
