CAM eye LANC to half-moon conversion

[Danteb 0]

Hi Guys got a cam eye with a regular LANC connector but I just bought a HC52 witch has the half moon remote connector so I thot I could splice a half moon connector to the came eye but for the life of me I can't find witch wires connect to witch. would any one know how to do this or if it's even possible. I've attached pix of the half moon cable & the came eye wires
tx much apreciated

These pages should do it for you. First, the LANC pinout:

Next, the pinout for the Sony 10-pin connector (the half-moon connector):

You'll need to wire pins 2, 3, and 4 from the half-moon connector to pins 1, 3, and 2 of the 2.5 mm jack.

P.S. If this helps, I could sure use a photo of the LED end of the CamEye, as mentioned in this thread:

Thanks!

P.P.S. Looking at the 10-pin connector pinout, I just realized you may also need to pull pin 7 to ground through a 100k resistor, in order to activate the LANC interface.

P.P.P.S. I also just realized your half-moon connector has only 6 wires coming from it. I'm guessing they might be breaking out only the A/V pins (i.e. everything but the 4 LANC-related pins). If this is the case, the connector you have isn't going to cut it. It might be best to purchase an adaptor cable like this one:

yup I think I cut my wires to soon, think I'll have to get one of the converter cables, only have internet at work but I'll try to take a pic of the led end
