AODELAN WTR-2 Wireless Shutter Release Timer Remote for select Sony & Minolta DSLRs/SLTs

What it is (and why you’d want it)

The AODELAN WTR-2 is a wireless shutter release timer remote made to work with a range of Sony and older Konica Minolta/Konica Minolta “Dynax/DiMAGE” style camera models listed by the manufacturer. On paper, it’s doing two jobs at once: acting as a remote trigger and as a timer controller. That combination is handy when you want to press the shutter without touching the camera, or when you need more than a basic countdown.

What makes it more than a simple “clicker” is the timer side. It includes multiple timer modes (including delay, interval, and long exposure) and lets you adjust the timing in increments described as precise to 0.1 seconds. If you’re into time-based shots—night exposures, long exposures, repeating interval sequences, or simply avoiding camera shake—this kind of setup tends to feel like a small purchase that unlocks a lot of repeatability.

The essentials: modes you can actually use

In practice, the value comes from having different shutter behaviours available rather than one fixed option. The WTR-2 lists four shutter modes: S (single shot), C (continuous), B (bulb), and 2S (a 2-second delay). For timer use, it also lists modes such as delay (automatic timer), interval (interval timer), and long (long exposure). There’s also an exposure/frame number adjustment (labelled as N) so you can set how many frames are involved in the sequence.

There’s a further mode described as BKLN for timed support automatic exposure release, aimed at HDR-style burst behaviour with shutter release options for instant, continuous 3, 5, or 7 shots. It’s a fairly specific feature set—useful if that workflow matches what you shoot, but possibly more complex than you need if you mainly want remote clicking and basic timing.

Where it shines (day-to-day use)

The wireless angle matters more than people expect. If you’re photographing landscapes from a tripod, you can trigger without physically pressing the camera, which helps reduce the tiny vibrations that can creep in. Another concrete example: for an interval sequence of clouds or plants moving over time, you’d use the interval timer mode rather than repeatedly operating the shutter manually. That’s the sort of “set it and leave it” convenience this remote is built around.

It also uses a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, with a stated range of up to 60 m. That’s the kind of distance that can help if the camera is tucked away slightly or you’re working around a set, although walls, line-of-sight, and general conditions will always affect real-world range.

Tech summary (what to check before buying)

From the information provided, the WTR-2 includes a timer and a receiver, and it uses 2.4 GHz wireless transmission. It also features an LCD display, and the description claims the battery is more efficient than charging.

That’s the positive baseline. The catch is compatibility: the listing is quite specific about which Sony models (and some Konica Minolta models) it’s intended for. Before you buy, check your exact camera model against the list—because “Sony” isn’t always enough with remotes like this. If your camera isn’t one of the mentioned models, it may simply not behave as expected, even if the connector type looks similar on the surface.

Key takeaways for compatibility & requirements

It’s designed as a wireless shutter release timer remote for the camera models named in the listing. The compatible Sony/SLT and DSLR model names shown include several A-series SLT models (for example A33, A35, A37, A55, A57, A65, A67, A77, A99) and several DSLR-A models (such as A100, A200, A300, A350, A400, A450 and others listed).

There’s also mention of Konica Minolta DiMAGE/Dynax-style cameras (specific models are listed). If you’re outside those model names, you’ll want to be cautious. This is the sort of accessory where a mismatch can mean “not compatible” rather than “works but with limited features.”

Also worth noting: the description mentions HDR-related support via the BKLN option. If you don’t shoot HDR or you’re not interested in timed multi-shot bursts, you might not use those deeper modes.

Should you buy it?

Is it worth it?

You’ll likely feel it’s worth buying if you want a straightforward way to trigger your camera wirelessly and you also want timing options—delay, interval, and long exposure—in one unit. It makes particular sense for tripod work, repeating sequences, and situations where touching the camera isn’t ideal.

However, it may not be the best choice if you need guaranteed compatibility with a camera model that isn’t clearly listed, or if you only ever shoot single, instant shutter presses and never use timed sequences. In those cases, a simpler remote (or even relying on your camera’s built-in options, if available) could be less hassle.

Worth considering if you like having control over timing down to fine increments (as described), and if you’re building a workflow around repeatable exposures.

Mini FAQ

How far does the wireless connection reach? The listing states up to 60 m using 2.4 GHz wireless transmission, though real conditions can vary.

Does it work as both a timer and a remote? Yes, the description says it includes a timer and a receiver and can function as both remote trigger and timing controller.

What shutter modes are mentioned? S (single), C (continuous), B (bulb), and 2S (2-second delay) are listed.

Do I need HDR features to benefit from it? No—HDR-related BKLN behaviour is one of the listed timer/shutter options, but the remote also covers delay, interval, and long exposure modes.

What’s the biggest thing to double-check? Compatibility with your exact camera model, since the listing provides a defined set of Sony and Konica Minolta models.
