Sony AV-R to LANC?
I purchased a small Sony tripod with the newer AV-R controller on the handle bar, but I'm using it with an older Sony camcorder that can only be controlled using LANC controller.
I see adapter cables all over the place for using an older, LANC controller with newer AV-R equipped cameras... but is there an adapter the other way around: AV-R controller to LANC plug? Thank you, |
Re: Sony AV-R to LANC?
i don't know of any, but it should be possible to modify your AV/R unit if you have some basic soldering skills and access to a Radio Shack for a plug. The big challenge was getting an older 1/8" plug to work in the AV jack, the other way around should be pretty simple.
There are a couple schematics floating around the internet, and I have my notes about the pinouts here if you need to know what pins need to go to what lugs. Just out of curiousity, what model camera? |

Dave,
Thanks for the offer; yes I would appreciate if you post or email me the pinout. The tripod is a Sony VCT-60AV and I will be using it with a Sony PD150 oldie/goodie. Thank you, |

I just tried Google with Sony LANC pinout and got a whole heap of hits.
