Assuming it’s the same as with the NEX-6/7 ver, those Ownuser grips are just basic IR remote triggers with an extra battery. You can’t half-press the shutter button, for example. Also note that the viewfinder is at the bottom, which some find awkward.
2.4g Wireless….so it’s not IR
I’m talking about the Ownuser A6000 grip at the bottom of the post, which is IR, not Meike A7 grip, which is radio.
i’ll be honest. Ownuser are full of crap
I think it poor taste to use CAD drawings as product photos.
Plus, they really missed an opportunity to improve on the terrible ergonomics of the OEM product. Nothing says pro like my a7R flopping around with a wobbly lens mount and cheap vertical grip. I’ll take two!
Troll
and after a camera firmware update these still work? some people say no.
I updated a6000 with the new firmware. No problems. The startup time is the same as before the update. I haven’t tried the Smart remote control.

ILCE-6000
– Provides support for “Fast Hybrid AF” function with wide range of A-mounts including SAM/SSM via LA-EA3 A-Mount Adapter.
Where are you getting these from?
Just copy pasting sony site for randomness..that point is off topic
Not sure where you found that info. I only see what obican wrote: improved startup time and smart remote. I updated the firmware on a6000 and i have no xavc-s option. Startup time is not noticeably different than before the update, btw.
Actually, I got it wrong. It’s a complete sentence which says:
This Update has improved the time of turning power on, after downloading the application “Smart Remote Control” of the “PlayMemories Camera Apps”.
So, nothing actually got fixed at all!!
any one update new firmware?
I need a new 64gb SD card for XAVC.
get this with my uhs-1 95mb/s
needs to be SDXC
The Meike battery grip looks good! I have the Ownuser one for A6000, but I wish there was one more like the Meike!
If only the “Meike” was written even bigger lol
now THAT’s a grip. and a correct priced one. not overpriced crap like the atomos.
Speaking of battery grips, any info on the Sony RX20? The PhotoPlus Expo starts today and still nothing from Sony?
does this or any remote have continuous shutter release? not sure why that seems to be so difficult for remotes to do..but so far ive found none.
and by continuous, i mean release the shutter at maximum fps until the buffers full in the same way it does when that drive is selected.
Yes it does
are you just saying yes or does it really?
??? I have no idea what else word YES could mean …
sorry. i guess ive become skeptical after buying 3 different remotes. my apolgies!
If you like to do stereoscopic effect that is one occasion, for that you can download SONY software directly in to your A7/ A7r / A7s and A600, then you have iPhone software which do a lot of things incl. HDR, then you have wired SONY remote control and if you hold down push BT and scour it with latch it will go till time you release the latch.
wait..how did you know ive been messing with stereoscopic? also, what sony software are you referring to? as i use the syrp genie for left to right imaging and some other downloadable progs for the rest of the process..really been enjoying it so far.

Is this is what you have in mind ?
i tried it..well..i still have it but havent fooled with it very much..the results seemed a little campy..but i havent tried much else but to get the dog running across the yard. the timelapse application is invaluable though..i use it all the time and find it wonderful for my needs.
i wonder if you can stick this on a NEX
Nope..Our job is wonder if sony could give XAVC codec for a6000 and not those lame ubdates
If you want XAVC codec they will force you to buy brand new camera to get it. That is the way of the world today.
Anyone knows the link where to buy this MEIKE PG for A6000 … ?
You guess seriously need to get a grip….
Will it fit on a 5100 ? :/
Does this Meike grip work with A6000 as well? It seems that A6000 is smaller than A7/A7s/A7r.
