Cheap solution to missing LANC

Posted on 5/23/2007 4:09:00 AM

LANC controller allows you to wired remote control the camera. With a little DIY, you can create your own LANC controller using the remote control comes with your camera.

I read some posts about using a TOSLink optical cable to "route" the remote control signal to the front of the camera. Since most consumer camcorders do not have a LANC port. With a little DIY, you can fake one easily. I ordered a 3" TOSlink cable for $2.5, mounted the remote control to the tripod handle, wired the cable around the center pole, taped the other end to the front of the tripod. IT WORKS!!!!

See the discussion of this hack.

Posted by Scott on 10/11/2009 7:51:00 PM What kind of tripod and head is that?
thanks

Replied by LA Color Shop It is a SLIK tripod. Don't remember the model number. I would not recommend such tripod for HV30. The quick release plate blocks the battery release tab of the camera.

Posted by simon craggs on 8/2/2010 8:32:00 PM Whats a TOSlink cable? Could you link to one on Amazon for me please???? Sounds like an awesome (cheap) workaround!!

Replied by LA Color Shop TOSlink cable is also called Optical Cable. Just google or search it in amazon. There're plenty for sale.
