Good Value Overall But Read the Battery Instructions!
This is a pretty decent collection of stuff. I bought it on behalf of our local town museum that has just started an oral/video history project and is on a tight budget. The SR11 took a pretty big bite so there wasn't a lot left over for extras.
Now understand that most of the package is aftermarket product, not "Sony" but not bad either.
I was a bit incensed at first when I plugged in the battery after charging it with the supplied charger and got a "cannot use this battery" message from the camera. Well, turns out that it isn't designed to have the same contacts as the Sony batteries do(but it does snap in place OK) and has a jumper wire and port that bridges the battery output to the DC input of the camera, a fact that I missed when I skimmed over the instructions. I subsequently connected it properly with the jumper and the camera worked just fine. There is also a second port on the back of the battery that can be connected to the Sony AC Adapter to charge the battery in place. I can't speak to the issue of battery life yet because I'm only a day into it.
I felt bad about prematurely sending a "Howler" to the vendor, but also felt it important to point the battery situation out to both potential buyers and existing buyers that might have suffered the same confusion that I did. It really is a decent deal and I did receive the merchandise in good condition and on time.
Technical issues with the product
The product is absolutely wrong for you if you are buying it for Sony HDR SR10. The product's battery doesn't work with the camera. It doesn't also charge in parallel to the camera battery. There is only one adaptor for the entire set of lenses and the filter lenses don't work with the camera.
The tripod worked well with the camera. I haven't tried a lot of other accessories especially the car charger, but do not hava high hopes for that.
I did get a good service from the seller but am very very unsatisfied with the product.
Think Twice about all the items in this box and the one that you really need
For the money its worth it, "on the other hand you may not use all of them that are packed in this". So you may want to take a step back and buy only the things that you want to buy, also if you are ordering this after buying a camcorder, then wait for your camcorder to arrive, you get a sony's 15% discount coupon along with it.
