Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted September 30, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 The full pinout for the 12 pin Hirose on video camera bodies can be found in this thread, for reference http://www.steadicamforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=151 Looks like the Sony/Panasonic cable doesn't work as according to Mitch's post, VTR and ground are the other way round on pins 2 & 3. Does anyone have any clarification on this connector and what pinouts there are out there for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it makes sense that the connections are reversed. I'll finish the soldering today. I won't be able to test it until I get to Mexico and the camera package. By the way...... Hakko soldering stations ROCK! Ramon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll be rewiring the new one and selling it as an HD START/STOP Cable if anybody needs one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
