I’m using a Sony NEX-5T and the remotes I’ve tried only trigger a single exposure. I’d like to shoot a bracketed sequence remotely rather than pressing the shutter on the camera. Is there a remote that supports this on the NEX-5T?

The Sony RMTDSLR2 remote states in the description (bolding mine):

Features

Video record start/stop.

Remote shutter release control.

Single Shot, Burst, 2 Second Self Timer control.

Slideshow Playback Control.

In the compatible models it lists the NEX 5T:

Limited functionality of remote with the following models:

From your problem description it seems this remote would do what you want. If it works, please let us know by accepting this answer.

Yes—Sony’s RMT-DSLR2 is listed as compatible with the NEX-5T and offers remote shutter modes including single shot, burst, and 2-second self-timer. Based on the community answer, it appears to be the Sony remote most likely to support what you want.

That said, a remote generally triggers the shutter mode the camera is already set to. So for bracketing, you would typically enable the camera’s bracketing/continuous shooting mode first, then use the remote to fire the sequence. If your current remotes only ever produce one frame, they may not support the needed shooting modes on the NEX-5T.

So the practical answer is: try a Sony RMT-DSLR2 with the camera configured for bracketing.
