The LANC remote controller is designed to help cameraman control START/STOP function in the distance for some of SONY (withe LANC or remote) label, Panasonic(ENG camera), and Blackmagic cameras which comes with 2.5mm LANC control.It has two parts the transmitter and receiver. Using the 2.5mm LANC cable to connect the receiver to the camera body, the receiver can draw power from the camera directly. Since the two parts are paired before shipping, so you can use the transmitter to trigger the camera after plugging the cable. We use 2.4G to communicate between the transmitter and receiver, the wireless control range is up to 30M in open environment. On the back of the two parts, there is a 1/4”-20 standard thread.
