In my usual world of HDV cameras the Lanc port is no big deal, it's there and does what it's supposed to.
I've just added a nifty little (really little) camera to my arsenal, namely a Sony HDR-CX550v which is quite phenomenal. Beautiful hand held footage (looks nearly as smooth as though a tripod was used).
I have a gig coming up which I bought this camera for (stills / Blu-ray and DVD simultaneously) and I definitely need to use a tripod. There is no Lanc port other than the a/v port which fortunately can do a lanc as well.
Two outfits make a cable which does lanc + composite but for the life of me I can't find a 10 pin sony camcorder cable that does lanc + s-video + audio.
I know s-video is there and if I was able, I'd make the cable myself, alas I don't have the skill.
Any-One know of a pre-made cable or a person who could solder one up? There must be a need beyond my requirements.
Thanks

Reason: Correct typo of model from CV550 to the correct CX550
