LANC Adapter for Sony Video Cameras

We are Now Offering Two Different Models of Lanc Adapters
and they are for Sony video cameras only.

Studio 1 Productions is making two special LANC adapter cables that converts the 2.5mm jack over to the Sony proprietary 10 pin "D"
connector that is found on the newer Sony consumer video cameras.

Most of the Newer Sony consumer video cameras don't have the standard 2.5mm LANC jack. The LANC controls is part of the 10 pin A/V jack or AV/R jack as shown to the Right.    See Note Below for Sony EX1, EX1R and EX3

Sony Lanc Adapter AV/R

The cable is approximately 12" from end to end.
Please see note below.

The one model offers a Lanc Jack, plus video and stereo audio outputs.
Our Lanc adapters do NOT influence or alter the LANC protocol.  The Lanc signal is passed through from the Lanc controller to the Sony video camera.

Special Note About the Lanc and Audio/Video Cable:

This cable will NOT work with any of the video cameras listed below due to a change Sony made to these specific camcorders:

2011 USA Models International PAL Models

HDR-CX130
HDR-CX160
HDR-XR160
HDR-CX180
HDR-CX360
HDR-CX560
HDR-CX700

PAL Camcorders

HDR-XR260VE
HDR-PJ260VE

NOTE:  Sony 2013 Camcorders require a special cable from Sony.   The part number is  VMC-AVM1
This is needed to connect the LANC adapter cables to the 2013 model of Sony Camcorders listed below.
HDR-CX220
HDR-CX230
HDR-CX290
HDR-CX380
HDR-CX430
HDR-PJ230
HDR-PJ380
HDR-PJ430
HDR-PJ790
 

Only the models listed above are affected.  If your video camera is NOT listed, then it will work with no problems.

This is what Sony did to these models:
ONLY the 2011 video cameras listed above, so when you plug in a cable with a LANC connector, it disables the composite video output.  You can still using the HDMI jack to get video out.  You can thank Sony for this ridiculous change to the AV/R jack on only the 2011.

On the 2013 models, Sony changed the LANC port to a new design.   We are working on a new cable for the 2013 video cameras.  We will post it here as soon as it is ready. Until then you will need to purchase the VMC-AVM1 adapter cable from Sony.

So if you video camera is NOT listed above, you have nothing to worry about.

A few people have asked, why didn't we use a right angle 10 pin connector on our LANC Adapter.  The reason is, on some cameras, if you plug in a right angle 10 pin connector, it will cover some of the buttons/function switches on the video camera.

NOTE:
We do NOT make custom cables. Sorry.

The above cable will work will all Sony Video cameras with the AV/R jack, except the Sony Pro EX1, EX1R and EX3.


NOTE:  Sony 2013 Camcorders require a special cable from Sony.   The part number is  VMC-AVM1
This is needed to connect the LANC adapter cables to the 2013 model of Sony Camcorders listed below.

On the 2013 models, Sony changed port to a new design.   So until we can come up with a new LANC adapter cable with the new style connector Sony is using, you will need to order the VMC-AVM1 from Sony.

Note About the Sony EX1, EX1R and EX3:  The Sony EX1, EX1r, EX3 video cameras are from Sony's Pro/Broadcast division.  Even though they have an A/V jack, these video cameras do NOT use Lanc Controls.  It takes a special Lens Controller to control the zoom and record/pause.   This adapter will NOT work on the EX1, EX1r EX3 and other video cameras from the Pro/Broadcast division.

I would highly recommend them because of their high quality products and their great customer service. Looking forward to continuing to be your customer."  Mike Yoneda, High Angle Video

"I built my own End Zone Camera shooting High School football games.  All I needed was a way to get the video and Lanc out of my Sony CX260 video camera.  After searching on the web, I found your Lanc adapter cable with the A/V outputs.  Just what I was looking for.  I ordered and it arrived in a few days.  It works perfectly!!!  I now have Video/Audio output and LANC control for my End Zone Camera.  Great stuff."  Danny Moore, Chicago, Ill.


Customer Comments:


"Just want to let you know after trying several other LANC only adapters, I finally found one that has a tight 2.5mm jack and that is yours.  I was beginning to think the 2.5mm jack was going to be a problem for me, but with you LANC adapter, once I plug in the 2.5mm plug, your adapter it the only one I found to hold it in place tightly.  Great work guys."  Brad Connor, Internet Email.
