I bought this accessory for the camera we use at my church for video of the Sunday services. This attachment has worked very well to enhance the filming of our services.

This product is a bargain at the $29 I paid.Pros:1. The remote is powered by camera itself.2. The buttons have a fast zoom (press down hard) and slow zoom (press down lightly). The fast zoom doesn't over-zoom. Button sensitivity is just right.3. There is an LED light that shows red when camera is recording and green when it is not. Very useful.4. Works consistently.5. Connection cable is long.6. Comes with a clip to connect to attachments.Cons:Nothing major, but it will move around a bit when in the clip. I used a zip tie to make it sturdier.So far, I have used it for about 3 hours-worth of stop and start recording. No issues whatsoever.

It was 30 bucks for this small wired remote. The cord does not stretch fat & I only use it for filming, so just the pause and record button is useful for me. Shutter & other photography features are not for me. It's just very pricy for what it is..but it is convenient & works well once you get the hang of it.

And it's $20 less than the Sony RMVPR1. I'm a huge Sony fan, and it pains me to say this. The JJC is almost a carbon copy of the Sony wired remote control. The following features are the same:1. No batteries required (unlike wireless options).2. Controls all camera functions controlled by the Sony remote (including halfway-push of shutter button invoking autofocus)3. Includes a clip for mounting the remote (e.g., to a tripod)4. Similar size (very slightly larger)5. Same quality feelThe following are differences:1. Camera power button is on the front. It works better for me than the side-located, spring-loaded, slide switch on the Sony.2. It has a green light that indicates whether the camera is on or off (this will add a very slight drain on the camera's internal battery).3. The removable clip rotates 360 degrees, while the Sony only rotates 90.4. It adds a grid-line button that cycles through the camera's built-in grid-line display options.If you can use a wired remote, this is a great choice. Note, of course, that the W-T zoom control is only applicable to motorized lenses.

I thought there was going to be a delay or that it wouldn't be entirely compatible with my camcorder, but I can pretty much use most of the functions besides the long exposure whenever I want to. I still slide it down just so that it'll take a picture faster because of the way my camera is, so I guess I'm still making use of all the parts. It fits right on my tripod arm and has plenty of extra cable, but the arm is kinda short so that gives me a chance to comfortably get a longer one like I had originally intended to. I wish that it didn't have the thing that lets it spin around because it kinda jiggles and makes it harder to reach the photo button while I'm moving the tripod. Might just switch the arm to the left and put the controller on the legs intead. I like that the grid button and the power button both actually work, and quickly too. So far, this might be the coolest cheap purchase I've made for my equipment.

light weight and easy to use!

it works

Didn't know this existed and that it would work for my Sony Handycam HDR-CX405! So glad I made the search to found it. It's a very handy little plug in control with an attachment clip that have made my recording much much smoother in videography. The device is easy to use and can control zoom features smoothly. It completes my set up with a fluid head tripod. Once I have my camcorder turned on manually and the shutter opened, I can turn it on/off with the remote. My camcorder typically auto shuts off if left for some minutes of inactivity. I would have to close the view screen and open it again to turn it on, so this is a great feature and game changer. I'm not sure what other models it would fit but hopefully there are information out there to help others with different models.
