I've had my A7IV for about 6 months and haven't had an opportunity or need to use the remote. It works great with the A7R2 so didn't think anything of it. However, it doesn't work with the A7IV, and I was wondering if anyone had any issues with this combo also? When I searched for it, I found conflicting info. If it's a no-go what remote would you recommend for the A7IV that is reasonably priced? I have the RMT-VP1 but really like to convenience of the RMT-DSLR2.
