FYI I played today with the Manfrotto remote I have for my XL2 (just for curiosity) and it works most of the function with the HX-A1. All except turn on/off display, and Search in/out Rec. Actually two functions I never used by remote. You do can turn on/off, start/stop rec, Zoom in/out and focus +/- . Not bad.

Hi Alexis,

I am actually thinking of getting one for my A1 can you please tell me which model you have?

Thanks

I need to double check tomorrow but I think is this one:

It's a great tool for the XL2.
I believe you want to wait a bit, I heard Manfrotto is comming out with a new version for newer cams. Remember that this model does not control all functions.

Verified! The model I have is 522c not the one of the link. Also the Focus Manual/Auto does not respond by remote with A1 (no big deal for me). I couldn't find it at BH, maybe its discontinued already and the new version works well.

I'll also be buying a newer one for the A1, in the meantime I'll stick with this one.

There is another forum dealing with these questions, Remote Lens Controllers (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=123). The LANC controllers for the A1 have already been discussed there, in particular in this post (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=83779).

Oops Sorry when I did my search I didn't noticed I had settings to be sorted by last 2 weeks, No wonder I just saw only 3 posts there.

You can close this one if you feel to.
