Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release - 2.4GHz (for Sony Alpha)
Vello's FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release - 2.4GHz is a complete lightweight remote control outfit that provides a way to trip your camera's shutter while avoiding any possible unwanted camera movement. The FreeWave Plus works in either wired or wireless mode. This is ideal for photographing wildlife, and for macro and close-up photos or long exposures, where the slightest camera movement can ruin a picture.
With the dual function release, press halfway to focus, then press all the way to trigger the shutter. A four-second delay function makes it easy to produce self-portraits. Working on the 2.4GHz frequency gives you reduced radio interference and an extended range (up to 320' (100 m))--you don't need to have line-of-sight alignment, either, as radio waves will pass through walls, windows and floors.
This remote control will work with virtually any major brand of camera--just switch the dedicated release cable. LED indicators confirm pre-focus and exposure when in wireless mode. The FreeWave Plus is capable of multiple exposures with a single press of the trigger, and you can control the length of long exposures remotely, also.

The wireless remote is the one I should have order earlier. I can be inside a building looking out and have use the remote to operate the shutter release. You do not have be in a line of sight. In addition, I can use it as a wired remote. The options for timed, etc are very handy.

Comments about Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release - 2.4GHz (for Sony Alpha):
I use it for photographing birds and also for long exposure pictures.
One of the great things about it is that you can shoot without touching the camera.
One of the things that annoy me a little bit is the fact that I have to open that little cap at the back of the camera. I can't helping fearing that the cap is going to come loose in my hand.
