Sony A6700 Shutter Release Connection Cable 3.5mm-Type C - Remote

In this review of the Sony A6700 Shutter Release Connection Cable, the bottom line is simple: photographers who need a reliable, no-frills physical shutter release for compatible Sony cameras will appreciate this accessory. The package contains two cables - one 13.8in straight 3.5mm-to-Type C and one 59in spring-style cable when straightened - and both perform the single task they were designed for: remote shutter release with half-press focusing. It is not a multi-function cable, but for those who want a straightforward wired remote connection to trigger focus and capture, this set delivers consistent results.

Key Features

• Dual cable set: Includes a 13.8in straight 3.5mm-to-Type C cable and a spring wire that stretches to about 59in when straightened, giving two length options for different shooting setups.
• Simple shutter function: Performs half-press focusing and full-press shutter release just like the camera body, which is useful for tethered shooting or eliminating camera shake.
• Wide remote compatibility: The 3.5mm plug is the same size as a common headphone plug and fits most shutter remotes and jacks that use a 3.5mm TRS connection.
• Type C camera end: The cable terminates in a Type C plug to connect directly to supported Sony camera models without adapters.
• Compact and portable: The straight cable is short for minimal bulk, while the spring-style cable offers reach without tangling when stored.

Who It's For

This cable set suits hobbyists and event photographers who shoot on supported Sony bodies such as A6700, a7cII, ZV-E1, and ZV-E10 II and who prefer a wired, dependable shutter trigger for long exposures, macro work, or group shots. It is also handy for photographers who already own shutter remotes with 3.5mm jacks and need a Type C connection to newer camera bodies.

It is not for users who need remote control over video recording start/stop, menu navigation, or camera power; the cable only triggers focus and capture. Also confirm your remote jack size before buying, since some remotes use 2.5mm jacks and those will not fit this 3.5mm plug.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Two cable styles provide flexibility with a compact straight cable and a longer spring cable that extends when needed.
• Reliable shutter release behavior with half-press focus and full-press capture, matching the camera's shutter button action.
• Universal 3.5mm plug fits most shutter remotes and is easy to measure and verify before purchase.

Cons

• Limited to shutter release only and does not support additional remote functions like video record control.
• Compatibility is limited to certain Sony Type C models; this will not work with cameras that require a different connector or the older A7C variant.
