When using a third party accessory sometimes all the features don't work. On this product with my Canon C80 everything works seamlessly.

Awesome Product!

Will this work on a Panasonic CX350? I want zoom, focus and iris. Do not need auto anything.
Asked by: Dave
The CX350 has a LANC input. This is a LANC controller, it should work well with the CX350.

question

Will this device work with the Sony A7s via adapter? Will all functions work?
Asked by: Noah L.
To get this device to connect to the A7s you would need 2 adapters. First an adapter to go from Lanc to A/V R and then one to go from A/V R to Multi Terminal. Even after connecting those 2 adapter I cannot confirm that all or any of the functions will work for you. The Sony RM-VPR1 is a cleaner solution that will not require any adapters.

question

Is this compatible with the Sony FDR-AX53
Asked by: Philip S.
I'm afraid not. The AX53 has a Multi-Terminal Input, not a LANC Connection. This controller will not work with it. However you could look at the Revo Video & Photo Remote for Select Sony Cameras, B&H # REVRSMULTI. It has a Multi-Terminal Connection and is designed to work with cameras like the AX53.https://bhpho.to/2xaMOAu

question

Will all functions work on a Canon XF 105?
Asked by: Geoffrey W.
While neither the manufacturer nor B&H has tested this combination, we both feel very confident that all functions will work. If you chose to buy, do know that you have a 30 day policy with B&H if you find the unit unsatisfactory.

Will this work on Sony HDR-CX900, HXR-MC88, and HDRFX1000?
Asked by: Jayson
This is a LANC controller, the camcorder will need to have a LANC connection for this to work with it. The HDR-FX1000 and HXR-MC88 both have LANC connections and will work. However the CX900 does not have a LANC Connection though, it will not work with this controller.
