LANC/Remote Compatible Camcorders
(for Electronic AquaCam Housings) 

LANC is a wired remote communication interface developed by the Sony Corporation and is found primarily on Sony camcorders and some Canon camcorders. LANC (or Remote) compatible camcorders have one of the following two interface connectors:
1. An older, 2.5mm mini-plug jack generally marked as LANC, REMOTE, L, or Control-L.
2. A newer, multi-function 10-pin terminal marked as A/V Remote (A/V R) or sometimes A/V or A/V Out.
Both interfaces are supported and available in our Electronic AquaCam HDX Video Housings. Refer to your camcorder user's manual for LANC/Remote compatibility.

If you are looking at current Sony camcorder specifications (at SonyStyle.com or in your user's manual), look for "A/V Remote Terminal" under Connections and/or "Remote" in the list of Functions on that A/V terminal. Unfortunately, Sony is not consistent in listing the "Remote" Function under the "A/V Remote terminal," but the designation of "Remote" in the terminal name generally means the Remote Function is present. Please don't hesitate to contact us regarding your camcorder's compatibility with the Electronic AquaCam HDX. We are willing to determine Electronic Compatibility for you! You can also refer to the data and guide listing below.

Below is a guide listing of LANC/Remote Compatible Camcorder Models (HD/SD Digital and Analog) compiled from data gathered off the Internet. The very latest models may not be listed yet and the list may not show all compatible model numbers. This listing is sorted in alpha-numeric order and Sony camcorders are grouped by Series (i.e. DCR and HDR series).

HD & SD Digital Camcorders with LANC, Remote, or A/V Remote
Some larger camcorders are not included in the list because they are too large for the AquaCam HDX Standard and Custom Housings. Please contact Aquatix if you need assistance.

Note: Camcorders with the A/V-Remote terminal are listed below in Blue, and those with a 2.5mm LANC/Remote jack are listed in Black.

Old-Analog Hi8 and 8mm Camcorders with LANC jacks

Most 8mm and older-model Hi8 camcorders manufactured by the following will likely have a standard LANC jack: Sony, Canon, Nikon, Ricoh, Hitachi, Yashika, Sanyo, Olympus, Blaupunkt, Grundig, Fujix, Kyocera, Siemens, Fisher, and possibly other makes.
Note: the most recent Hi8 camcorder models (manufactured until a few years ago) generally do not have a LANC jack.

You should further verify if a particular 8mm or older-model Hi8 camcorder actually has a LANC jack (most do - some don't).

LANC Interface Connectors Note: Both LANC Interface connector types are available on our AquaCam HDX Electronic Video Housings - either a standard 2.5mm LANC plug or a newer 10-pin A/V -Remote plug, according to your camcorder. If you require compatibility with Both types of connectors, there are LANC Adapter Cables available that will adapt a standard 2.5mm LANC mini-plug to the newer A/V-Remote 10-pin connector. They are available from studio1productions.com for about $29 USD (LANC Only) and $50 USD (LANC with AV output connectors).
