Hello
I need some help to connect my camera, a Sony a6000, with the dropcontroler. Is there somebody who has solved this problem and can tell me how to do it?

The easiest way would be to buy a cheap shutter release and repurpose it.

Something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Remote-Shutter-Release-Control-Shoot-RM-VPR1-for-Sony-Alpha-A7r-A7-A6000-SLT-A58-/152363236459?hash=item23798e7c6b:g:5NkAAOSwH6lXRXL-

For the actual connector, have a look at http://www.doc-diy.net/photo/remote_pinout/#sony

If you google a bit, you should be able to find just the leads, no switch.

Thanks for your quick reply Martyn. I ordered now a cheap shutter release by Ali.

Hi Leo
I’ve also ordered and are on my way. I have A7ii, when you fixed your cable you can be kind and put some pictures how you’ve done.
Thanks
