==Remote Camera Cables==
 
 
 
Using a remote camera lets you explore creativity and expand photographic coverage in unique ways. On location, remote cameras can be where you physically can't. Get shots no one else can by firing a remote camera at the same time you fire your main body. Two images, two perspectives, one photographer! In the studio, get out from behind the lens and really connect with your subjects.
 
  
Sony cameras’ multi/micro USB (sometimes called multi-terminal, multi-interface, multiport or VPR1) connection can be used to trigger the camera, supply power to the camera and power on and off the camera. We have created 3 cables to connect Sony cameras to PocketWizard radios that support different remote functions.

Note: Due to the specialized connection, not all functions are available with all PocketWizard radios. Please see compatibility for each product below the description.
