Operation on the camcorder itself, in conjunction with a tripod always to the fact that transmit vibrations or wobbles in the recording. This I wanted to avoid using the remote control.
The functions:
1. Handycam and off
2. Camera Releases
3. Start and stop video. The button is recessed to avoid something about a misprint
4. Zoom function + and - and with two speeds depending on keypress
5. a light for recording mode
6. a light for camcorder
Fields of application:
1. Shake Free zooms with a tripod are possible
2. remote release up to a distance of 150 cm (length)
3. Avoid short vibrations by pressing the recording button is pressed on the camcorder
4. Capable of accommodating without uncomfortable position (eg Froschperspektive)
5. Clip for a tripod, a belt or a shoulder strap. I personally attach the clip to a slightly thicker pen, then you can hold the remote control with the stylus comfortable in the hand. They attach to the tripod grip I find illogical, because since then again transmitted vibration to the camcorder.
Works better than the wireless remote control of the Sony HDR-SR12 definitely, when you stand directly behind the camcorder.
