Vello RS-S1II Overview

Whether shooting in the studio or outdoors, the Vello RS-S1II Wired Remote Switch provides photographers using select Sony and Minolta cameras with a simple way to control exposures and create more "keepers". The device has a thick, sturdy cord and is larger and more comfortable to use than many other remote devices.

The RS-S1II is compatible with autofocusing, continuous shooting, single image capture, and long exposures. It will autofocus with a half press of the button and trigger the shutter with a full press. Also, users can press the button and slide it forward to lock it for long exposures. It can be used with cameras that feature live-view mode. Since exposures can be triggered without touching the camera, sharp, blur-free images are captured. The RS-S1II does not require batteries as it operates on the camera's power, making it an extremely useful tool to keep in your studio or gear bag.

Works exactly as advertised and the price was right. It was recommended to me by B&H staff after I initially bought the wrong one.

question

Will this work with the A99? It's not on the list.
Asked by: Anonymous
No, it would not be compatible, as the two cameras have two different remote release connections. The A99 is currently only compatible with the Sony RM-VPR1 Remote Control with Multi-terminal Cable for Select Sony Cameras, B&H# SORMVPR1, as there is currently no third-party alternative for this remote connection.

Asked by: Anonymous
Check the Vello website for info.I twist the cord quite a bit which proves fatal after a year or so; thus, I buy two at a time.

question

Is there a way to make this or some other remote compatible with a Sony DSC-HX200V camera?
Asked by: Anonymous
It's very useful to bulb and long time pictures, using a tripod.My camera is an A-100. I cannot assure it will work with your brand new camera. I really hope I do work, because I want to buy a 77. ;-)Best reggards.
