Would this cable work to trigger a Z cam E2-S6, as they both use the LANC connection?
Asked by: Brian
The SmallRig USB-C to Panasonic LANC Control Cable for Top Handle would not be compatible with the Z Cam E2-S6. The cable that would be compatible would the SmallRig Control Cable for Panasonic DC-BGH1 & Z CAM E2/M4/S6 (BH #SM3325).

Do you think this would trigger start stop on a FX6 with a DJI RS2?
Asked by: John
I believe that is only for the USB-C to USB-C trigger. This cable converts USB-C into a LANC port which is a universal standard. Maybe I'll just order it and find out.
