    Hey FFers,

    What are people using to remotely trigger their Sony A7 series cameras for video recording? We can manage shutter release using a Gentles via QuadroShutter on our Movis from our Movi Controllers, but can't figure out how to initiate a video record.

    Gentles multi uses a 3 way switch to handle one for shutter, and one for video start stop

    We are familiar with the Gentles cables and have a number in stock - are you suggesting you got them to work for video start / stop? We haven't succeeded and would be curious to hear your approach.

    Ive seen it beung used. It dies work, but after you adjust your appeture for example you have to take a picture to exit the menu system. To order it looks a little confusing. I emailed them on questions and did not get a response back. Let me know how you come out.

    I'm using AIR Commander to control whole camera functions remotely. It can trigger Shutter or Video, chage Crop/Fullframe mode, White Balance, ISO!, Exposure compensation, you can browse and change all functions in MENU of camera. You can browse and play all recorded material. Zoom to photos on memorycard to check if they are sharp. All remotely at fly!
