Bulb mode on A7R

[sonyplayer]

Hi all, I know how to activate the bulb mode in A7R (through the mode dial to Manual mode and changing the shutter speed), but I have to hold the shutter for the duration of the exposure. Is there any way where I can click the shutter button to open the shutter and click another to finish the exposure, without any use of smartphone apps? Thanks!

Just buy a cheap Chinese remote (if I remember correctly I paid 2€ for mine). Using it, the first time you press the shutter button onto the remote it will start the exposure, and the second time you'll press it it will end the pose. Basically it will turn the B pose into a T pose.

I bought mine on ebay. I didn't specifically buy from this seller, but the remote is the same model of mine: ebay n. 111736210964.

I'm pretty sure that you can find it even on Amazon etc., just look for the same (or a similar) model.
