TC-R/S Breakout for Sony FX3 / FX30 / A7S III
In another worlds first...the Mutiny TC-R/S for Sony FX3, FX30 and A7S III (with latest firmware) camera, feeds Timecode IN and R/S (remote triggering) via the multi-terminal (Multiport). Works with every FIZ wireless follow focus system (Preston, Arri, C-Motion, Nucleus, Heden, etc) as well as every timecode generator (Tentacle, Deity, Deneke, Ambient, etc). TC-R/S should trigger most sony mirrorless cameras in video mode but timecode will not work for A7S series (except mark III with latest firmware) , A9 series, A7R series etc. Â Â

Does what it says, only a minor complaint. I have 5pin timecode connecters that are specifically made to have a 90º turn so they can fit on an ARRI Alexa Mini. When I try to use them so I don’t have long straight 5pin sticking out the side of my FX3, the 90º part comes across the R/S connecter blocking it. It might be nice to have it clocked in a different direction (or maybe I should just live with the straight one and shut my pie hole :)
