Why do we need a remote? To remotely control, certainly, but also to ensure that the orders actually be incurred. If we can see that the remote control is remotely flashing red (really not very discreet) impossible to realize if a record is actually in progress or not. To ensure this, we must return to the unit, ensure that the screen recording is going well. Usefully a remote control should have an LCD screen that shows the progress of a record or the number of shots taken, then we know - remotely - that everything runs as desired. If all looks good, this remote does not bring anything more than the "simple" original remote control supplied. USELESS Purchase
