2.5mm-Type C USB Shutter Release Cable for Sony A7CII/A6700 - Remote

In this review the 2.5mm-Type C USB shutter release cable is evaluated as a simple, no-frills remote shutter solution for specific Sony mirrorless users. It is aimed at photographers who already own a shutter remote control with a 2.5mm jack and need a Type C connection for newer Sony bodies; the single biggest reason to buy is straightforward compatibility with select Sony cameras and reliable shutter-only operation without extra electronics or setup. The package includes two cable styles, so users get an immediate straight and a spring-style option for shooting flexibility.

Key Features

• Dual cable set: The kit includes one 13.8 in straight 2.5mm-Type C cable and one spring-style cable that straightens to 59 in, offering two length options for tabletop or distant tripod use.
• Simple shutter function: It performs focusing and photo-taking exactly like the camera body release button, which keeps operation intuitive and avoids unexpected additional features.
• Type C connector: The Type C end provides direct compatibility with supported Sony models without adapters, simplifying connections for newer camera bodies.
• Broad remote compatibility: The 2.5mm plug fits the common shutter jack found on many wired and wireless shutter remotes, making it useful across different remote controllers that use the 2.5mm standard.
• No setup required: The cable is plug-and-play so, after inserting into the shutter remote control, it is ready to use without extra configuration.
• Durable spring option: The coiled cable option reduces slack and tangle risk in active setups while providing reach when extended.

Who It's For

This accessory is best for photographers who own a compatible Sony body such as the A6700, A7CII, ZV-E1, or ZV-E10 M2 and who use a shutter remote with a 2.5mm jack. It also suits studio shooters, time-lapse creators, and event photographers who want a reliable wired trigger that mimics the camera's shutter button.

It is not for owners of first-generation A7C or original ZV-E10 bodies, nor for users whose remote controls require a 3.5mm plug or who need remote triggering beyond shutter and focus functions. Those needing intervalometer features or exposure control should look for a dedicated remote with those capabilities.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comes with two cable styles so users can choose length and flexibility for different shooting scenarios.
• Plug-and-play Type C to 2.5mm wiring provides straightforward shutter and focus control without fuss.

Cons

• Only provides shutter release and focus functions and no advanced remote features such as interval shooting or exposure control.
• Compatible only with specific Sony models listed; it will not work with A7C first-generation or non-Type C bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cable work with my remote that has a 3.5mm jack?
No. This cable uses a 2.5mm TRS plug; remotes with a 3.5mm jack require a different cable size or an adapter.

Does the cable provide interval shooting or remote exposure control?
No. The cable only provides the same focus and shutter release function as the camera body button and does not add intervalometer or exposure controls.

Is the cable plug-and-play?
Yes. After plugging the 2.5mm end into a compatible shutter remote control and the Type C into a supported camera, it works immediately for focus and photo-taking.
