With this app you dont have the exposure stops like the exposure multi meter in the camera. But to nail exposure you have zebras, false color and waveform. these 3 tools help to expose correctly better than the M.M. indicator in the camera
Great video! To confirm for your viewers, the A7 although it has PC remote doesn’t work with the monitor+ app. However, I can confirm that the A7RII and A7SII works with the app! I used an iPhone as the monitor. Hopefully, this helps whoever needs this information.
@@RmsPaintStudio I have an iPhone and I used the original cable from the Sony camera and the usb-a adapter for the iPhone. I installed and ran the monitor + app and then connected the adapter cable to the phone and it recognized the camera model. Please, if you have more specific questions, let me know! I hope this helps.👍🏾
Hey bro , if I have a7s3 , and I want to use iPhone 13 Pro , for monitor with monitor+ app , what cables I need ? I can use the usbc ? Or it’s only work with hdmi , and multi port …
@@חנןבוזגלו-מ2ק Okay so for starters, the a7siii is capable of connecting wirelessly. I would not recommend you to buy a usb A to lighting dongle for the iphone to connect the camera via multiport as the app can connect wirelesly to the camera. The quality of the transmission is 1024x576 at its best, so is just for monitoring dont expect using your phone as external recorder. The camera wont connect with a usb c cable it has to be the multiport with the micro usb.
wow, you saved my life. I was trying many times and couldn't make it ... after your video it works :) it was bcs of the settings in the menu, the PC Remote etc. vs. Connect to Smartphone. Thank you.
Hello Erick, do you know if there is an option to buy a microUSB "B multiport" USB-C cable, to avoid a damage of phone USB port with using a USB-A USB-C reduction? I have A7II and phone with USB-C, so cable is probably the only way how to use Monitor+ app. There are many microUSB USB-C cables available, but IMHO they will not work, because of camera multiport version .. Thanks!
Well, if the cable IS multi then it should work. But its very hard to find micro usb with multi protocol… gimbals do offer this cables in their included packages a true Multi Micro USB to USB C Maybe this one from DJI a.co/d/hbEhbgZ its designed for sony cameras so it should be MULTI
Hey, I was trying to connect my iPhone 13 to Sony A7iii with an original iPhone usb-c charger. The the app can’t seem to find the camera for some reason. Do you know what could be the reason?

@@erick.gazbel I'm using the usb-c port on my sony a7iii, seems to be working fine for around 5 minutes and then the screen on monitor+ freezes. Any idea why?
@@FedericoBragee to what device are you connecting it? it seems to me that the connection its getting interrupted some how and i bet its some kind of restriction with the device, not the camera
in my case with the a6600 is not possible. I have to go to the menu options and force the camera to show only in the viewfinder the image. That way the screen's off and saves some battery and i see only the image in the app with the phone
On my sony a7IV it is possible. I only turn on the camera with the screen turned inward (it turns off automatically) and having already connected the cable to my phone. You have to turn it on with the screen that way and having connected the cable to the phone previously, if you do it in another order it doesn't work.
At the beggining didn't work with my A7s mk2 every control was there but "no signal" sign too, so, what i did was to move the camera dial to photo mode and i got the signal, then go back to movie mode and signal was there so it is working now. I'm talking about an iphone 13 pro max and a aliexpress cable.
im use sony a6600 when connecting to the app it works but steady shot feature was working both camera body and lens. its showing that not able enable this option pls suggest me a way to get ois
Did not nothice this with my a6600, it is possible that the IBIS and or the steady shot from the lens get disabled when using this connection. I would recommned using the HDMI port instead with a dedicated monitor device.
I have 1 question. How can i use it when using with gimbal? Because the multi port is allready taken. Is there some way to use it like that, maybe via the micro hdmi port or something?
its a very good question. But why you have connected your gimbal to the camera? i used the zhiyun weebill-s the crane m3 and the dji rs3 and rs4 and personlly never connected to the camera, and I think i dont miss much functionality. I only find compatible to start and stop recoring and there is so much more you can do with that port. But if you need to have your camera connected to the gimbal via de multi port, you can use the micro hdmi but its going to be other solution like using a dedicated monitor with hdmi input, or using a wireless transmitter also connected to the hdmi port. But i have read all the documentation from monitor+ and did't find any information about using the hdmi port instead of the usb, sadly.
yes, if you set slog with PP in camera the image in the phone will show with the picture profile, even slog 2 and slog 3. Also if you turn on gamma assist in the camera image feed on the phone wont be affected,

Hello, I have Sony 6300 and I connected the camera with the same adapter with my iPad, but I can get video signal. I can change ISO, etc, but no image. Can you help me please?
How can I exit this application? I installed it, everything works, but I can't go to the main screen of the phone. there are no return or exit keys to the home screen. I have to restart my phone. Android version, but it doesn't matter.
I suspect is a bug for any current version android app is now running, when I tested it in my outdated note 8 I had no issue returning to the phone Home Screen. I would try deleting the app and installing it back… this sounds very odd, exiting the app its a very basic functionality. 😥
If I don’t have the original Sony cable what can I do? I have followed every step, and got an adaptor from mini HDMI to lightning cable (not the Apple one) and it wouldn’t work. I have the A6400
Hi on android it should be easy to track the media folder of the app, in iphone its stored as app information. Sadly i dont think its possible to access the information outside the app unless you export it
HELP. I did everything the same as you. But when connecting, the phone screen only shows "no signal" and the remaining parameters such as ISO, shutter speed,... can still be controlled, but only the screen is no signal. Thank you
It worked with my Sony a7IV and iPhone 14 Pro. I used the adapter (SUNTRSI USB Camera Adapter, USB Female OTG Adapter for iPhone) from Amazon, and the cable that came with my camera (USB C to USB A).
Me da gusto que sea de utilidad, lo acabo de ver nuevamente y me revuelvo mucho con las velocidades, los bits y bytes 😂😅 me disculpo por las posibles confusiones. Gracias por dejar un mensaje.
Im sorry, I doubt wired or wireless connection is possible with the a5000, its a entire different protocol and its not in the compatibility list of app according to developers. You can always try
Thanks for the great video🙂👍 The app on the A6600 is functional, but only for simple focusing. Focus tracking does not work. Is there anything else that needs to be set up? I have the paid version. Thanks for the RE 🙂
Just as the continuous eye tracking gets disabled when connecting the HDMI it's the same when streaming over the USB protocol, I believe Sony does this on purpose :( no way around it Thanks for watching!
I dont think this camera supports the video transfer protocol, only via HDMI with an external monitor. that model you mention is not on the supported model list of the app.
@@pyper.films7 that's so cool, im just starting too and i cant afford to giveaway any of my equipment at this time, good luck sir and keep the creativity flowing
the zve10 is compatible the only limitation is you cant be able to access the camera files from the monitor+ app. (review content) the zve10 does support wireless connection. and the iphone 14 pro max is compatible, thats the model im using.
In the video I use the Micro USB Multi to USB A that is included in the box with the camera. Its different from other Micro USB, the multi does have more pin connections vs the normal micro usb.

Are you setting the usb connection to PC remote in camera before connecting the phone? Also which phone are you using? Some android phones have the function to decide what kind of connection it’s done, may be there the issue.

@@BreezeA yes connect everything make sure to follow his settings, keep the camera off and turn it on in video and then change the mode and then back, I’ve noticed a direct usb c to multi doesn’t work you need a micro usb to usb A converted to usb C for the phone

@@IttisakR. mmm not sure if the usb-c to multi micro adapter would work. The less the better. I would recommend a Lightning adapter to connect a usb a to micro usb multi. I think a usb-c cable won’t work, but you can always try. The usb a to micro usb multi is the recommended cable.
@@ruancarlodop it work well for me now i’m not sure about how to fix it but, for me i use IPHONE right? , i use OBD usb to lightning when you use you have to set a camera to manual mode first (mode M) now u change back to video and it work well!!!😊
If you mean chaning for example from recording 4k 30 to 4k60, some models only allows control of shutter speed, iso and aperture, other parameters are still needed to be modified in the camera.
The a6600 does not have a USB c port, it's only micro. It might work using a USB c to micro USB adapter, but still... I only recommend using the USB A to Micro USB Multi cable included in the box. Other cables might not support the connection.
If you have downloaded the app to that phone it should be compatible. Just to make sure, the Redmi port is USB C, and you are connecting your camera via de multi micro usb por with the original sony cable to a usb a to usb c to your phone. Saddly this app is very sensitive with cable selection, also USB connection settings is very important
@@erick.gazbel I connected the phone to usb C OTG - and to the a6100 micro usb cable. Xiaomi shows that it has detected the connection but there is a message. "unable to connect to you device, either PC remote in not turned on or the device in not supported"
This app is, as far as I know, specifically designed for Sony cameras and only some models with specific image transfer protocols. But I’m positive each camera brand have their own app or a 3rd party app like this Monitor + for Sony.
Works with my a7sii, this is help me a lot when filming myself by mounting my phone to the hot shoe of the camera, now i can see myself and adjust the setting directly in the monitor😂
@@alebelmonte9312 depends on camera model and type of connection some models allows that level of control on both wirelessly and wired connection some like the a6600 only wired
@@alebelmonte9312 go to the monitor plus web page. And find the camera capability and compatibility list. But let me inform you that sadly the a6400 does not support wireless connection.
It makes no sense lag happened to me but when connecting wireless. Wired connection has always performed very steady. Cable quality and battery life may affect when connected wired.
very odd situation, which multi micro usb cable are you using? is the Sony's original that came with your a6400? Also verify te connection settings in the camera. The a6400 does have the same wired compatibility as the a6600, you shouldn't be having any trouble.
Mine says “PC remote is not turned on or device is not supported”. I checked multiple times that it is connected. I have the sony a7iv and the iphone 14 pro max
Have you try wirelessly? monitorplus.cc/docs/general/connecting-to-your-camera/wireless-connection/ Also, are you using the micro usb port or the usb c in the a7iv?
@@erick.gazbel I’m trying to do it with a cable connection (wired) like you showed in the video with the iphone. Wirelessly works perfect for me. For the wired connection I tried both micro usb and usb c. No luck. I keep getting that error message
@@sebasfilmedit thats weird, which adapter for the iphone to usb r u using? is it the original or an MFI? its known that lightning adapters are tricky to get to work.

Just tried with airplane mode and no luck. I wouldn’t want to do a hard reset if that means all my settings and customizations will be reset :( I just tried a usb C to usb C connection to my ipad pro and it works perfectly. But my iphone 14 pro max keeps giving me that error
@@sebasfilmedit i would't reset either hahaha, its a pain reconfigure all over again Maybe the usb drivers of the adepter does not have enough bandwith… i would try a original apple adapter just to discard that from the ecuation. Before thinking its the camera You can always return the adapter if it does not work Still find this very strange the a6600 its 2 years older than the a7iv and didt have any trouble with the usb connection. Maybe other setting we're missing in the iv
Sorry for the delay in my response, could you make it work? Check the cable, are u using the one included in the box of your camera? Also the second and most common thing fails is the otg USB adapter to connect the USB A to the phone connector. Hope this helps, thanks for watching
Unfortunately the a6000 is not supported, wired or wireless according to the developers compatibility list. But if the camera have hdmi port you can always get a cheap monitor if a bigger screen and some video tools is what you’re looking for.
Does Monitor+ show exposure stops ? So I can check from a distance that the exposure is set correctly ?
With this app you dont have the exposure stops like the exposure multi meter in the camera. But to nail exposure you have zebras, false color and waveform. these 3 tools help to expose correctly better than the M.M. indicator in the camera

Can I connect it to dslrbooth?
Does this work with a6000?
I don't have a body to make tests but at least in the support page of the app developer it does not show a6000 support :(
hai bro i can't connect a7iii with iphone 15
How can I exit this application? I installed it, everything works, but I can't go to the main screen of the phone. there are no return or exit keys to the home screen. I have to restart my phone. Android version, but it doesn't matter.
I suspect is a bug for any current version android app is now running, when I tested it in my outdated note 8 I had no issue returning to the phone Home Screen.
I would try deleting the app and installing it back… this sounds very odd, exiting the app its a very basic functionality. 😥
If I don’t have the original Sony cable what can I do? I have followed every step, and got an adaptor from mini HDMI to lightning cable (not the Apple one) and it wouldn’t work. I have the A6400
Hello, do you know where the photos are stored on a mobile device without having to view them through the monitor+ app? Thank you.
Hi on android it should be easy to track the media folder of the app, in iphone its stored as app information. Sadly i dont think its possible to access the information outside the app unless you export it
HELP. I did everything the same as you. But when connecting, the phone screen only shows "no signal" and the remaining parameters such as ISO, shutter speed,... can still be controlled, but only the screen is no signal. Thank you
Sorry for the late response hope you could make it work, maybe the cable is not fully supporting image transfer
It worked with my Sony a7IV and iPhone 14 Pro. I used the adapter (SUNTRSI USB Camera Adapter, USB Female OTG Adapter for iPhone) from Amazon, and the cable that came with my camera (USB C to USB A).
Me da gusto que sea de utilidad, lo acabo de ver nuevamente y me revuelvo mucho con las velocidades, los bits y bytes 😂😅 me disculpo por las posibles confusiones. Gracias por dejar un mensaje.
Do you know if it's work with the sony a6400 ?
Yes, the a6400 is compatible only wired connection with some limitations.
How about Sony a5000?Can I connect wireless?
Im sorry, I doubt wired or wireless connection is possible with the a5000, its a entire different protocol and its not in the compatibility list of app according to developers. You can always try
Can I ask you if the app works with sony a6000? Thanks
Unfortunately in the compatibility list provided by the developer, the a6000 won’t work with this app. :(
Does this works with a Sony a7iii and iPhone 12 Pro Max?
It does should work with the A7iii + iPhone 12
Thanks for the great video🙂👍 The app on the A6600 is functional, but only for simple focusing. Focus tracking does not work. Is there anything else that needs to be set up? I have the paid version. Thanks for the RE 🙂
Just as the continuous eye tracking gets disabled when connecting the HDMI it's the same when streaming over the USB protocol, I believe Sony does this on purpose :( no way around it
Thanks for watching!
Can this work on my friends Sony alpha a33 camera ?
I dont think this camera supports the video transfer protocol, only via HDMI with an external monitor.
that model you mention is not on the supported model list of the app.
@@erick.gazbel thank you gazbel!! 👍❤️
@@erick.gazbelhi Gazbel can you gift me any of your cameras that you use less😭🙏 I’m into film making also 👍

@@erick.gazbel okay boss❤️🤍🤍🎥
Good day ....what port are you using on your camera?
Its the micro usb port, the first from top to bottom in the side port door.
@@erick.gazbel thank u 👍🏼
@@erick.gazbel Which port brings the best image quality?
Hey ! Good content!
Do you know if it's working with an iPhone instead of a android?
I tried both OS in the video iOS and Android with an iPhone 14 and a Samsung note 8, both performed correctly. 😁👍🏼
And does it work with zv e10 and i phone 14 pro max
the zve10 is compatible the only limitation is you cant be able to access the camera files from the monitor+ app. (review content) the zve10 does support wireless connection. and the iphone 14 pro max is compatible, thats the model im using.
Hello, what cable do you use?
In the video I use the Micro USB Multi to USB A that is included in the box with the camera. Its different from other Micro USB, the multi does have more pin connections vs the normal micro usb.
I have a Sony 7iii and a Iphone 13 pro, which is the solution to pair that with monitor+? I couldn´t find it
It shoul work using the Micro USB Multi + USB A, connected to the iphone using the camera adapter. And also configure the camera with the required settings. monitorplus.cc/docs/general/connecting-to-your-camera/wired-connection-ios/
Hi, i tried connecting on my a6400 but it says the usb connection can't be changed from "mass storage". but i saw some comment said it works for them just fine. can you please help. (there's no PC remote option) and (yes im using the provided sony cable)
Are you setting the usb connection to PC remote in camera before connecting the phone?
Also which phone are you using? Some android phones have the function to decide what kind of connection it’s done, may be there the issue.
I am having the same issue when i turn Connect with smartphone to on and then try to change the setting in USB Mode it becomes inactive and defaults to Mass storage. If you find a solution kindly help
Does it not work for USB to the USB connection to the camera?
I have the a6600 the original USB cable, the Samsung OTG adapter (as shown in your video), and an Infinix android smartphone. I did everything and was able to see my a6600 in the monitor+ app. BUT each time I tried to start the connection, it fails telling me my PC connect was not set to ON or my device is not compatible.
I'm so frustrated. Tried different cables, different OTG adapters, same problem. is it the Infinix smartphone causing it?
I have a solution for you, switch the mode. right dial to manual or auto and then switch back to video
Should everything be connected and attt to connect before switching modes? @@abstractwars
@@abstractwarsShould everything be connected before switching modes to Auto and back to video? Tried it and still didn't work
@@BreezeA yes connect everything make sure to follow his settings, keep the camera off and turn it on in video and then change the mode and then back, I’ve noticed a direct usb c to multi doesn’t work you need a micro usb to usb A converted to usb C for the phone
Same thing with the Sony 6100 it’s not working
oke, does it support focus peaking ? i have few manual lens, and i feel focus peaking is important for this lens.
Edit : yes just need 5 minutes to test and edit this comment, disable control via Smartphone, and voila, it works with A6400 manual lens. Focus peaking only for premium ( purchase ).
Thanks for the tutorial especially the iPhone used🙌
Does this work on iphone?
Yes it does, iPhone and iPad on iOS 13 or higher
Been trying to figure this out! Thank you!
Does it works with a6500? If it works i’m gonna so happy
It sure does with its limitations but wired connectivity is possible.
Thanks for watching!
Will this work on A7ii?
Good question,Iam stil trying this till today,didnt accomplished till now !
I’ve tried with a a7ii body and couldn’t make it work. The website does not show the a7ii as compatible either. :(
@@smmarketingspeculationsgeneva I can confirm after testing with iphone 13 pro max and an A7II, no matter what adapter, it just doesn't work
any info about a7ii ?
Not compatible, saddly since the a7ii as well as the a7rii where released before the a7sii the firmware does not support this functionality.
@@erick.gazbel I can confirm after testing with iphone 13 pro max and an A7II, no matter what adapter, it just doesn't work
Why its keep crashing with my sony a6500
Hi, it starts lagging a lot when I actually start recording, almost unusable. It's responsive while not recording. Does it happen to you too? I have an A6400. Thanks for the video anyway.
Mine doesn’t even work on the a6400 😅
Ever figured it out? It’s been doing the same on my a7iii
@@Yaj-Gnidblod nah, I think it's just the way it is, once you start recording, there's probably just too much data flowing and the wire or the app or whatever can't keep up... just my uneducated guess...
Hello When I try to set camera USB Connection option is unable and shows Mass Storage. Anyone know how to sort it? Thanks
Hi! Try doing it before connecting the cable from the camera to the phone. setting is not changeable when already connected.
guys enable OTG USB connection on your android settings first otherwise it will not work
not working in A7ii
Outstanding!
I have been doing the hdmi to capture card to iPad thing with my RX100 vii but this seems to be better for latency.
It work with A7sii?
Yes a7sii is supported with wired connection
@@erick.gazbel so if i use my lightning to typec and use adapter from type c to multi it should be work to right?
@@IttisakR. mmm not sure if the usb-c to multi micro adapter would work.
The less the better.
I would recommend a Lightning adapter to connect a usb a to micro usb multi.
I think a usb-c cable won’t work, but you can always try.
The usb a to micro usb multi is the recommended cable.
@@IttisakR. I'm trying to make this work on my a7s ii for a long time. Never get it workin.
@@ruancarlodop it work well for me now i’m not sure about how to fix it but, for me i use IPHONE right? , i use OBD usb to lightning when you use you have to set a camera to manual mode first (mode M) now u change back to video and it work well!!!😊
will this work for the sony a7r does anyone know?
The R models supported are from the III to the V, A7R and A7RII are not supported.
How to change fps on my iPhone 6:42
If you mean chaning for example from recording 4k 30 to 4k60, some models only allows control of shutter speed, iso and aperture, other parameters are still needed to be modified in the camera.
why didn’t you just use the new iphone chargers instead of the adapter? USB-C to lightening
@@dmnk.pkl11 so the only solution is to get an adapter?
The a6600 does not have a USB c port, it's only micro.
It might work using a USB c to micro USB adapter, but still... I only recommend using the USB A to Micro USB Multi cable included in the box. Other cables might not support the connection.
Worked with my RX100 M7. Thank you!
Woa! No idea it worked on the RX100 mK7 model! Thanks for your comment!
Help. My a6100 digital camera won't connect to my xiaomi redmi note 8 pro phone. I received a "not supported" message
If you have downloaded the app to that phone it should be compatible. Just to make sure, the Redmi port is USB C, and you are connecting your camera via de multi micro usb por with the original sony cable to a usb a to usb c to your phone. Saddly this app is very sensitive with cable selection, also USB connection settings is very important
@@erick.gazbel I connected the phone to usb C OTG - and to the a6100 micro usb cable. Xiaomi shows that it has detected the connection but there is a message. "unable to connect to you device, either PC remote in not turned on or the device in not supported"
can you show a link to the cable you are using??

Thank you, it´s working muchas gracias amigo prrrrrrreee
I’m using the wire connection not via WiFi and still no video signal
Same don't know how to fix
Can i Connect Canon r6 ?
This app is, as far as I know, specifically designed for Sony cameras and only some models with specific image transfer protocols. But I’m positive each camera brand have their own app or a 3rd party app like this Monitor + for Sony.
There's no way to make the camera charge the iphone? I can always use a dummy for the camera, but I see no solution for the phone
Unfortunately, I doubt any Sony camera offers reverse charging I don’t think thats possible
it does not work with a6300
Works with my a7sii, this is help me a lot when filming myself by mounting my phone to the hot shoe of the camera, now i can see myself and adjust the setting directly in the monitor😂
I think is the most basic thing to do yet SUPER HELPFUL for filming yourself, thanks for watching!
@@erick.gazbel Can you choose video mode and record from your cell phone?
@@alebelmonte9312 depends on camera model and type of connection some models allows that level of control on both wirelessly and wired connection some like the a6600 only wired
@@erick.gazbel where do you look at that
? i want the sony a6400 but need the wireless connection :/
@@alebelmonte9312 go to the monitor plus web page. And find the camera capability and compatibility list.
But let me inform you that sadly the a6400 does not support wireless connection.
Im wondering why it is laggy on my phone like it responds every 10 seconds and freezes
It makes no sense lag happened to me but when connecting wireless. Wired connection has always performed very steady.
Cable quality and battery life may affect when connected wired.
how about sony a6000?
I'm sorry, but the a6000 does not appear in the compatibility list. You can always try but app may not support that camera
Thanks it Worked A7Riii
It works for A7iii and iPad Pro
mine starts connecting then says “check the connected device” does anyone know how to fix this. I’m using a6400 with the official apple adapter
very odd situation, which multi micro usb cable are you using? is the Sony's original that came with your a6400? Also verify te connection settings in the camera. The a6400 does have the same wired compatibility as the a6600, you shouldn't be having any trouble.
I’m having the same issue with my a6300
@@jeremyshannon3946 turns out the micro usb cable I was using wasn’t working. I bought a playstation controller charger and that did the trick

Welcome!
Mine says “PC remote is not turned on or device is not supported”. I checked multiple times that it is connected. I have the sony a7iv and the iphone 14 pro max
Have you try wirelessly?
monitorplus.cc/docs/general/connecting-to-your-camera/wireless-connection/
Also, are you using the micro usb port or the usb c in the a7iv?
@@erick.gazbel I’m trying to do it with a cable connection (wired) like you showed in the video with the iphone. Wirelessly works perfect for me. For the wired connection I tried both micro usb and usb c. No luck. I keep getting that error message
@@sebasfilmedit thats weird, which adapter for the iphone to usb r u using? is it the original or an MFI? its known that lightning adapters are tricky to get to work.
Also the error you mention is more related to the camera config... have you tried a hard reset on the a7iv... also i'd give it a try to set the airplane mode on...that function helps my a6600 with many things that strangely are blocked when airplane mode if off
@@erick.gazbel I just used 2 different 3rd party lightning to Camera usb and no luck. It detects the camera on Monitor app and it says to enter but, when I click enter it loads for about 5 seconds and then gives me the “Unable to connect to your device, either PC Remote is not turned on or the device is not supported”. Just tried with airplane mode and no luck. I wouldn’t want to do a hard reset if that means all my settings and customizations will be reset :( I just tried a usb C to usb C connection to my ipad pro and it works perfectly. But my iphone 14 pro max keeps giving me that error
@@sebasfilmedit i would't reset either hahaha, its a pain reconfigure all over again
Maybe the usb drivers of the adepter does not have enough bandwith… i would try a original apple adapter just to discard that from the ecuation. Before thinking its the camera
You can always return the adapter if it does not work
Still find this very strange the a6600 its 2 years older than the a7iv and didt have any trouble with the usb connection. Maybe other setting we're missing in the iv
Type c to lighting no connect so you have to use usb A to micro usb
Best vid on this, cheers mate
Didn’t work on my a6600
HELP PLEASE
Sorry for the delay in my response, could you make it work?
Check the cable, are u using the one included in the box of your camera?
Also the second and most common thing fails is the otg USB adapter to connect the USB A to the phone connector.
Hope this helps, thanks for watching
I tried it on Sony a6000 but it doesn't work.😢
Unfortunately the a6000 is not supported, wired or wireless according to the developers compatibility list.
But if the camera have hdmi port you can always get a cheap monitor if a bigger screen and some video tools is what you’re looking for.
😮not working with a6000
according to the developers compatibility list the a6000 is out. Wireless or wired 😞 it’s sad such a nice tool being limited by the cameras firmware
Thanks, great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
