This is a quick look at the Cameo Lanc cable.
This cable was provided for review by AbelCine in NYC.
No connection exists between myself and AbelCine.

The Cameo LANC Cables convert closed circuit trigger signals from a handgrip or video lens to a LANC record/stop signal and a second user-assignable function (on compatible cameras). In this video, I use it with a ENG B4-mount lens on a JVC LS300 Super35mm video camera to start and stop recording, as well as to toggle whatever I assign to user function #4 by pressing the RET(URN) button on the lens' grip.

This makes it possible to use this large sensor 4K camcorder in a typical "ENG-style" operation with an on-shoulder brace.

The LANC circuitry is protected in a housing that about the size of an AA battery and is powered from the LANC port.

Compatible cameras include:
Sony cameras including FS7, FS700, FS100
Canon cameras including C100, C300, C500, XF-105
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema, Cinema, Production 4K, and URSA cameras
JVC cameras including JVC GY-HM170, GY-HM200, GY-HM300, GY-HM600, GY-HM650, GY-HM850, GY-HM890, and the GY-LS300
