I've got my Kodak Zx1, extra batteries, tripod-monopod-tablepod...But where the #*~~ is the remote control?I asked the highly eminent "Kodak Digital Team" on May 22, 2009: "Where is the remote and what is the price?".As of June 9, 2009 I have NO reply.

Seriously.......a remote would be great. But you're calling company headquarters? Who has this kind of time?Wow.
1129633
I'm frustrated about this too.I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

I got the same run-around, and the same "non-answer" answers. I own a LOT of Kodak products, but I'm really disappointed here. I've always trusted Kodak, but no more. If I can't rely on straight talk on this, how can I trust them on anything else. You would think in hard econonic times they would be trying hard to at least maintain their existing customer satisfaction! It wasn't the remote, in and of itself, as much as it is the way Kodak has treated me since I bought the Zx1.

Keep looking for it, don't be in a hurry.. I will try again soon as I get a chance. I think they may sell it under the Promaster name. Amazon had the one that the column tilts forward, which is much easier for what you want, and it was $149 when I wrote before . The price can change from minute to minute. They are all made by Zykkor but sold under different names. i talked to the people at Promaster when I bought mine I remember now. You might call them and get the model number etc. for the one with the column titling a few degrees forward.

That sounds like circuit problem, as though when the off button is pushed it just stays on and drains the batteries down to nothing in no time. As the Kodak company is out of business, finding a fix might be a problem. If this is a recent purchase from Amazon you might be able to return it, check with them. Next thing is to just Google the model number and problem, the answer will be found there, fix or no fix. Good luck.

Jane:Thank you for taking the time to give us your response from Kodak. That has been very helpful to me as I am thinking about getting the z712is, as it has just about everything I want, and I too was wondering about rechargeable batteries. You are a good person to go to the trouble to reprint Kodak's reply. Thanks again.

I don't have one. No manual. My kodak zd15 broke. I would never buy another one.

Well, it looks like mine and has the same model number--BUT mine is definitely not remote controlled in anyway. I read the reviews on the Sony site, but none of them mention remote control. Can't really be sure, but I think it is a typo. Sony does have a wired remote control that might be compatible with this tripod, but can't swear to it. If you are interested in finding out, I would try to contact them by phone or live chat.

Contact Kodak Customer Service on the web. They should be able to mail one to you.

Buy another brand! My flash quit on me within weeks after the one year warranty was up. Kodak told me to fix it for about $140.00, or give them back the camera for 15% off a purchase ONLY at their Kodak Store. Looks liek another reviewer had the same issue about 1 year to the day! Sorry I could not be more helpful about the repalcement of the bulb in your inquiry, but you are not alone!

I have a plug in wired accessory made by Sony that has controls for record and zoom connected to a mini tripod and colapsable carrying handle. The handle's attachment is plastic and can't handle even a light led light accessory without titlting against the weight, and wouldn't recommend it for the price.Remote or not, this has been a great quality little camcorder if you can find it used or for a good price.Hope you find the solution you are looking for.I am assuming a similar wired remote that has some length has to be out there too, I don't know about a wireless remote option but there could be one.

I have the same Kodak Pocket Video Digital Remote for my Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera and it works great! I also have a Kodak Eastshare Max Z990 Digital Camera and the remote works with it also! The package for the remote say it will work with the following cameras:Kodak ZxD Pocket Video Camera,Kodak Zx1 Pocket Video Camera,Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera,Kodak Playsport Video Camera,Kodak Playtouch Video Camera and Kodak Easyshare M580 Digital Camera. I looked up all the info I could on the Z981 and could not find any info saying it would work with the Kodak Pocket Video Remote.

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

Yes it is the same remote control. Here is one, see under "specifications", it works with all the pocket video cameras: http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/Remote_Control/baseProductID.145068600/productID.145068700

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...!

Not that I am aware of----you could go to Kodaks website and check it should be on there if there is.

Seems the Kodak site has changed, it now says "Available in May", so the May 15 release date is looking likely. Too late for me, I guess I'll have to look for a different option. :-(

I was just wondering the same thing! I purchased ours for around $658 from J&R; on here back in January. Now it's more than double that. Why have they stopped production? This is an amazing camcorder.

First, I have to admit that I don't have a remote and am not certain how well they would work. I do intend to find out. The answer to your question is yes, for approx $30, there is a remote available for the Olympus SZ series. One example is: http://www.amazon.com/Easygoby-RW-221-Wireless-Remote-OLYMPUS/dp/B00GWWRBKC/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1387551194&sr=1-11&keywords=wireless+shutter+remote+for+Olympus+SZ. This is one example. Do a search "Olympus SZ series remote shutter control" if you want to see what more is out there. Because there are so many variations for different cameras, make certain it is for Olympus SZ. The difference between remotes is the adapter cable at the camera port. The example above is for the SZ30. The SZ31 is just an upgrade with nearly identical features. Let us know how it works out for you. I and other SZ owners would welcome your input. Now that you know you can, The SZ31 is an outstanding camera--go for it!!!
