What's wrong with the one that is already provided in the camera's firmware?

You can get any remote shutter that works with your Sony.

Sony RMT-P1BT Wireless Remote Commander
Sony RM-VPR1 Remote Commander with Multi-Terminal Cable

Thanks Gene
Never having used one before (the Canon remote 4 times in 3 yrs) I'm unfamiliar with them ,but this years challenge to myself is learning long exposure and night shooting and using a tripod more often (currently about 2% of my photos use a tripod)
I was also looking for thing to put under the tree from Santa !

Although my camera has 1 built into it I purchased the Vello Shutter Boss 2 from B&H. If you want to change any settings , its easier/quicker to do so than going into the camera menu.

I've used several generic intervalometers for different cameras, and they all worked fine. I've paid anywhere from $5.00 - $35.00. Look at the features, and make sure you get what you need.

I like Neewer's intervalometer for Sony:
https://www.amazon.ca/Neewer-Intervalometer-Photography-Multi-Terminal-DSC-RX100III/dp/B00NSE1F6I/ref=sr_1_4

I have two of them. They work well.

I have never had much luck with wireless intervalometers and always use a wired unit.
