USB-C Rechargeable Wireless Camera Shutter Remote for Sony Alpha & RX
Product description
Compatibility and supported bodies
This rechargeable shutter system is designed for a wide range of Sony cameras, including many Alpha mirrorless and RX compact models. Compatible families include A1, A7 (and their A7R/A7S variants and later iterations), A9 series, A5xxx/A6xxx APS-C bodies, multiple RX100 generations and RX0 models, plus select HX and ZV series cameras and professional cinema-frame cameras. The receiver uses interchangeable release cords so you can switch cables to match different camera sockets.
Power, charging, and runtimes
Both modules include built-in lithium batteries and recharge via a USB-C cable. The handheld transmitter will run about 72 hours on a charge and reaches full capacity in roughly 1.5 hours. The camera-mounted receiver offers around 200 hours of standby and needs about 2 hours for a full recharge. You can top them up from power banks, laptops, or any USB-C power source during travel or location work.
Wireless, wired, and shooting functions
Communication uses a 2.4 GHz digital link with anti-interference features for a stable connection up to approximately 60 meters in open conditions. If preferred, the receiver can also be used as a wired remote connected directly to the camera. The unit supports autofocus activation, single-shot release, continuous burst, bulb exposures for long shutter times, and interval/timelapse shooting modes for creative workflows.
What’s in the box
1 × wireless transmitter (hand unit), 1 × camera receiver, 2 × camera release cables for different camera ports, 1 × 60 cm USB-C charging cable (A to C), 2 × wrist/neck lanyards, 1 × user manual.
Build, handling, and use
The small plastic housings are lightweight for travel; the transmitter’s buttons are arranged for thumb control and the receiver mounts near a camera’s remote port or sits in a pocket when used wirelessly. Swapping release cables lets you reuse the same transmitter/receiver pair across multiple camera models without needing additional remotes.
Pros
- Fast USB-C charging and long battery life
- Works wirelessly up to ~60 m and as a wired remote
- Supports AF, bulb, burst and time-lapse modes
Cons
- Limited to 2.4 GHz range in open line-of-sight

VerdictA versatile, battery-powered shutter remote that covers both wireless and plug-in use for many Sony mirrorless and compact models. The transmitter and receiver charge via USB-C and deliver long runtimes for extended shoots. It’s suitable for portraits, long exposures, timelapse, and tripod work; the swap-out release cables make it adaptable to multiple camera lines. Excellent value if you need a r

Worked perfectly and saved me money
After my local shop had no suitable option, I ordered this more affordable remote. It handled my Sony A7 III without issue. Both modules recharge with the included cord, which is very convenient.
