Does anyone know if the Live View Wrist Remote works as suitable replacement for the LCD cradle?

I researched this product in depth prior to purchasing the camera. What I found out is that the wrist remote is not worth the money. What was suggested and what I do is to use my phone to preview via bluetooth.

Have not seen one, so not certain. However, Sony bundles LV Remote with the camera. See HDR-AS100VR/W and the Sony write-up describes their operation in same manner as the cam cradle combo.

Depends on what you call "suitable". They serve different needs. If you're asking if the wrist remote allows you to preview/view the scene and choose start/end time for the recording, then yes. The wrist remote doesn't support playback, though, which the LCD cradle does.

It came with a (seemingly) standard RGB remote, but I powered the unit up and could not get it to work. I pulled the tape on the coin cell in the controller and tried from many angles but could not get it to operate. Haven't tried it since then.

Looking at the images of this device it does not look like the wrist band is replaceable? Are you sure it is replaceable?

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a remote and I have yet to find one that works with this specific model. The touchscreen controls are very convenient and easy to use, so I wasn't too concerned about finding a remote for it.

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent. Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty. Anybody got an opinion on which is the way to go ?

Hi,Make sure you have the screen for the correct model. You can check this by either removing the back cover and check the model number on the inside, or go to the settings page (via the menu) and the bottom tab. It says [about devise]. the correct model is shown. If the LCD is correct than replacement should be doable using e.g. the youtube videos.

Ours works great since my wife uses her cellphone constantly. During the placement of the new LCD display, you have to take the copper contact buttons off of your old unit and put on the new one before you seal down the LCD. The buttons have to be correctly placed or the "back" and "menu" buttons will not light up.

Yes. I have the RGB version behind my movie screen housing. The strips themselves work pretty well. I did have an RGB driver die on me though. It had to be replaced. Make sure you get a good driver.

I have and use the steering wheel strap for the remote control. It seems to work well. My arm will knock it off the steering wheel sometimes but it is easy to replace.

Richard, did not see a link but have provided you with one below. Remote has limited function btw.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://az498215.vo.msecnd.net/media/Images/Products/sound/earsets/earset-3i/EarSet3i_fullscreen_2560x1440.jpg&imgrefurl;=http://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/sound/earsets-telephones/earset-3i&h;=1440&w;=2560&sz;=245&tbn;id=BQ_7cyDqp514CM:&tbnh;=90&tbnw;=160&zoom;=1&usg;=__ScAL524-uAsOXpr8yOyvCGSapug=&doci;d=A393BrMif1W5DM&sa;=X&ei;=7Lq0UrQ3hImiBLeVgKAO&ved;=0CEwQ9QEwBA

Don't know what service tag you are using but if you need to replace the screen, it should work.

I can't get the Go Wear Fit wrist display to sync with my BodyBugg armband. I'm not sure that they are compatible even though made by the same company.

If I understand the question correctly, I think so. My nephew dropped my other remote in water, so this one replaced my old remote. It works fine for my system as a lone remote.

Yep, the old interface works just fine. I was just hoping to get the new hardware for the turn arrow, faster screen refresh and the zoom buttons both on the right side of the screen which is easier to use IMHO. No problems acquiring sats, I think the old hardware is just as sensitive. Thanks

Did you every get an answer? my original remote is dead and I hate the qwerty keyboard. Let me know what information you find please

If you home button works and you can still use the touch screen and it works the OEM is all you need. If the touch screen is not working you will have to move to the more exspensive screen.

After replacing my LCD mine was blank as well. It seemed to work because I could hear sounds. I was fortunate to have another mini so I mapped out the screen (location of buttons) and was able to unlock the mini and reset it. The screen works fine now. I guess the software just needs to be reset. Maybe a full power down and back would work as well but you would need to identify where you need to swipe to power it off.
