ProMaster Bluetooth Wireless Remote for Sony (Model 96951)
Compact Wireless Shutter & Multi-Function Controller – Direct Replacement for Sony RMT-P1BT Remote, Non-Line-of-Sight 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity (Up to 32′ / 10m Operating Range), Still Capture & Movie Recording Start/Stop Controls, Dedicated AF-ON & Custom C1 Button Access, Manual Focus Adjustments & Power Zoom Functionality with Supported Lenses, Pocket-Sized Lightweight Design, Includes Fresh CR2032 Lithium Coin Battery (Excellent Condition)

The ProMaster Bluetooth Wireless Remote (Model 96951) is an advanced handheld wireless camera controller engineered to deliver full-featured remote operation for compatible Sony Alpha full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras, cinema line bodies, and compact cameras. Serving as a direct, high-performance alternative to the Sony RMT-P1BT remote, this unit utilizes dependable 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy technology to free photographers and videographers from line-of-sight limitations. Operating reliably up to 32 feet (10 meters) away—around obstacles, from behind the camera, or from inside a pocket—it provides effortless control for long-exposure landscapes, astrophotography, wildlife setups, group portraits, and solo content creation without introducing camera shake.

Going far beyond a standard shutter release, the remote provides extensive tactical control over hybrid still and cinema workflows. It features dedicated controls for still shutter release, video recording start/stop, manual focus adjustment, an AF-ON button, a customizable C1 shortcut button, and motorized zoom operation for compatible Sony Power Zoom lenses or Clear Image Zoom setups. By using a tactile, dedicated handheld form factor, it eliminates the battery drain, disconnections, and touchscreen latency associated with mobile smartphone apps. Constructed from durable, lightweight composite materials weighing just 0.79 oz (22.5 g), the remote arrives ready to use with an included CR2032 lithium coin cell battery.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ryan V. ★★★★★

I love having actual physical buttons again—the shutter release is responsive and the range works perfectly from across my living room. It paired instantly with my camera and feels solid in the hand.

Isabella ★★★★★

Ended up getting this to replace a lost factory remote and honestly, it pairs instantly and works flawlessly from across the room for group shots without line-of-sight. The button feel is just like the original, too.

Owen S. ★★★★★

I was skeptical a Bluetooth remote would work through walls, but this one triggers my Sony shutter from two rooms away without missing a beat. The direct replacement setup saved me the trouble of messing with Sony’s proprietary pairing.
