I had a lot of problems with the Sony wireless remote.
Sometimes it would stop working all together for no reason.
Got so pi**ed off with it I binned it and bought a Smallrig remote and so far it hasn't let me down

Yeah all the newer body’s are usb-c only.
I think the a7c2 was the first.
It’s a real pain for Astro,anything stacking or bulb.
Typically I bought a new one for my a7iii exactly like that and then changed camera 2 months later so it’s been used once‍
There are connectors that can allow these to be used but seems very hot and miss with which ones work ok

The app is about all you can use currently, but my phone is old and battery drains fast using it.

Sounds like I need to buy a new one then

Edit: Google says I can still use the multi USB port on my A1 II so I should be able to use my exisiting wireless shutter release, I'll try it out at some point this weekend.

Edit 2: Looks like there's several USB-C shutter releases for Sony on amazon

Edit 3 My current multi USB shutter release works on the A1 II

Nothing to worry about with the 20-70mm and 35mm f1.4GM in that regards, although I always have corrections set to auto in camera and in lightroom. Which 70-200mm do you have?

I have the new 70-200mm F4 Macro version of the lens.

We went to Crantock in the summer, we've been there before too, and it's a nice little area along that coast. We were hoping to try the Polperro area, but might go somewhere more "autumn" based seeing as it'll be October.

The Hawkchurch Resort which I mentioned earlier could be more suitable. It's set in the Country side and is tree lined on the road leading to the properties and there's plenty of countryside around the resort. Also, it's close to the Jurassic Coast which I also like photographing. Finally it's on the Devon/Dorset border so there's plenty of photo opportunities nearby.



PS the both resorts I have mentioned are dog friendly

Remember the a7v and a7rv would need different remotes if you by a wired one.
It seems near impossible to get anything bar a a simple shutter release.
I’ve not looked recently but couldn’t even find a wireless intervalometer that worked with the a7v

I thought I read somewhere the remotes would be different for the two cameras. I will give the Creators App a go next week as I have loaded both cameras into the App and it seems fine using it around the home. Any problems and I will manually set the cameras like @woof woof mentioned in his earlier post.

Ahh, I can’t help with that then as I have the f2.8 II . I think @nandbytes has the 70-200mm f4 macro and could offer some advice.

Glad to be of service
