VMC-LM7 LANC adapter for PC-10?

Recommended Posts

I'm assuming there's a VMC-LM7 LANC adapter for the PC-10, but I couldn't find a place to get one online. Anyone know where I could score one and how much they run? I went ahead and got the CamEye II on my FF2.

I have one for my PC7, I needed it to hack the camera and enable DVin-but thats another story>:(.

These wee adaptors are not really suited to jumping, however if you really MUST have it...try

They should be able to hook you up with one.
NB they are out of stock right now but will set you back about $70.

You will need to give our FF2 some grinder love to fit it. Its about the size of a book of matches, and maybe twice as thick. It plugs into your power adaptor socket, so will stick out a fair bit. All in all, its a pretty frail adaptor. I wouldn't recommend jumping it, unless you epoxy it onto the camera. Then epoxy your cameye into it, even then it will stick out the housing and probably won't last very long.
There are workarounds available for a PC10 (you can make a LED repeater, or buy a ready made cam-on indicator) from various places, but none will give you the functionality of the cameye.
Sorry man, maybe time to retire the 10 and get a newer model, or just live with switching the cam on in the traditional way.
Let me know if you need a picture of what his wee thing looks like and I'll try and post some pics, but I'd advise you to forget about trying to make it work with your current setup.
