Has anyone actually connected an HDR-CX625 to a RM-VPR1 remote and used it for zooming in and out? I've checked the manual and it looks like it ought to work - the camera has a multi-function usb terminal etc - but it would be great to get confirmation before stumping up the cash.
Thanks for your time.

For the benefit of anyone who stumbles across this thread looking for information......
I sourced a 27 foot extension cable from studio1productions and it works fine. It replaces the 1m cable that comes with the remote control.

Hi @MartinW100 and welcome to the Community
I havent tried what you asked about but it seems that the VPR1 was supported by a previous model,
the HDR-CX330 which is a good sign.
Hope this helps

Thanks for this.
The CX330 manual says it has a "Multi/Micro USB Terminal" - which the the CX625 also has. Tempted to buy the camera and the remote.......

OK, nothing ventured, nothing gained.......
Just bought the camera and the RM-VPR1 is on the way from a well known internet vendor named after a river!
Camera does have an external microphone socket.
Camera does have a micro hdmi output socket, which outputs a 'clean' hdmi signal to an external monitor whilst it is recording. NB the micro hdmi socket is quite fragile any long cable will need to be supported.

Happy to confirm that the RM-VPR1 will operate the zoom and the start record/stop with the HDR-CX625.
Remember that the cable is only about a metre long, so I'm going to source an extension cable. Might take a while to arrives (USA -> UK), but looking good for an 'endzone' type set-up, i.e. camera up on a 5m mast, me sat down next to it with a monitor and the remote control.....
