You won't see the light on the FotoTech, it is infrared. Be sure you know where the remote sensing window is on the A6000. The Fototech must be in the field of view of the camera's sensing window in order to work.

It works just fine. You have to enable remote shutter on the a6000. I have the a6000 and it works great.

I bought this remote for my a7R, and it works perfect! I did happen to buy my wife the a6000 for Christmas, but I haven't thought about using the remote with that camera. I'll give it a shot, and see what happens, and get back to you. Just have to ask... Did you go into camera settings under remote, and turn that feature on? If not, that could be the issue? Btw, no light is supposed to turn on on the remote.

I don't believe the A6000 has an infrared sensor so the remote isn't going to work. My older Alpha NEX-6 has IR but I think Sony took that feature away from the newer models.

I used this remote with Sony A7ii, where I had to go into the menu system and turn remote control on before it would work with the camera. Most likely it's the same with A6000

Hi insane5125, this Sony VGC1EM vertical grip is not compatible with your Sony a6000. Works only on Sony a7 cameras. -Ely

As far I'm concerned, it will work. The a6000 uses the Multi Interface shoe for the flash. https://presscentre.sony.eu/imagelibrary/detail.aspx?MediaDetailsID=270950Look that image

It did not work for me. Maybe it was a dead battery. I ordered a remote from Canon. More expensive. But, it is working!

It didn't work for me. I bought it for use with my a65. It attaches to the camera fine. But it tried to use an old Vivitar flash unit with it and it didn't work, i. e. the flash wouldn't fire. The manual claims it only works with Sony equipment, all I know for sure is that it didn't work with my non-Sony equipment.

Yes, I have personally used this remote with the A6000. You may have to dig into the A6000's menu system to find the setting to activate the feature. Once configured, just press a button to activate the camera.

Not sure if I can help you. I have no such issues with my camera. Did you order the item used? It sounds like it is not functioning correctly.

Like William stated make sure your settings in the camera are correct. Also make sure that there is no battery tape in the remote. Some come with it to keep the battery from discharging until you recieve it.

No, it doesn't work with the A6000....but there is a relationship that you need to understand to know which adapter to buy. This adapter allows the use of Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe devices (like a flash) with cameras that have the older Auto-Lock Accessory Shoe (like a Sony A57 which I own). I had a NEX-6 and now I own an A6000. I also have a flash (HVLF20M) which has a Multi-Interface connection. So, because I wanted to use this flash with my A57, I needed to buy this ADP-AMA shoe adapter. The NEX-7 has the old shoe, that's why this adapter is needed with it. The NEX-6 had the MI shoe as does all other Alpha cameras built after the NEX-6. So, from the point of view of the A6000, this adapter is not needed. On the other hand, if you want to use older devices (with some limitations of course) with your A6000 (or other MI camera), Sony sells a similar adapter that does the opposite of this one (i.e., let you use older devices with the new MI shoe). The part number for that adapter is: ADP-MMA (just one letter change...the M after ADP). I hope this answers your question. If not, please comment again with more details on what you want to do.

I use it on my 60D all the time, just make sure the battery is new and make sure that your camera has a headphone port (audio in/out, 3.5mm)

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

Hi, this Sony External flash uses Smart Accessory terminal like the one on Sony NEX-5N. However, the Sony A6000 uses multi interface shoe. This flash will not work on your camera A6000. -Ely
