Sony RM-LVR1 - Remote control - display - LCD - 1.5" - for Action Cam-FDR-X3000, HDR-AS15, HDR-AS30, HDR-AS300, HDR-AS300R, HDR-AS30V, HDR-AS30VR

I have used the Live View Remote for both of my Sony Action Cameras. The remote is a must for most all activities. Battery life is good. I can use it all day and into the next if necessary. My use entails both pleasure (Skiing) and business (Forensic Investigations). The LVR has not failed and has been used in extreme situations at times. The quality and workmanship is just what you expect from Sony. I would like to have Sony provide a mute function for both the camera and LVR. Forensic investigations require this most of the time. The question that I must ask myself is "If had it to do again, would I purchase another LVR and the two Action Cams?" The answer is yes. When comparing the leading competitor to Sony quality it is not close. Sony's only real problem is THEY DO NOT PROPERLY MARKET THE ACTION CAM AND DO NOT EXPLAIN OR SHOW IN A SMALL VIDEO HOW THE ACCESSORIES WORK AND WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE THEM. It should also be noted that Sony's video stabilization is unmatched. Placing an Action Cam on a snow ski is not an issue. Trying that with the leading competitor might lead one to experience video nauseating.

This is a great accessory to have. I have been using it for just a few hours with my HDR-AS15 (after updating the firmware to version 3.0). I am really impressed with the performance. Just great!
