to do what it is designed to do, the camcorder needs to initially have NightShot mode. You already know the CX150 does not have NightShot mode. Do not expect the Sony HVL-LRM to extend a feature that does not exist in that camcorder.
Even though the sony cx150 doesn't have sony nightshot will it work with an external ir illumimator?
