Here's a sneak peak of where our Sony development is at. What's being shown here is a rigged up USB/Multi cable connected to a Sony A7S2 with a G-Master 16-35/f2.8 lens. The video is showing half press for focus, digital zoom control, start/stop recording, and taking a photo. These are the functions that are being worked on and working for now. Don't ask when it's going to be available because we can't answer that for now. The only thing we can say at this moment is we're working out the bugs and won't release it until we feel it's stable. I didn't have to post this but I wanted you guys to know what's happening in development.

There is one question. In the above movie, the focus ring is used as a digital zoom. Is there any plan to use it for follow-focus later?
Yes, zoom is not as usable as focus. If DJI cracks the focus on Sony, I'll be one happy camper!

Fantastic news! Thanks for posting this. Can't wait for you guys to finish your work... any news on time lapse and motion lapse with the Sony?
Can you elaborate more on the timelapse and motionlapse? The IR cable can trigger to Sony camera to capture photo so it should be able to work.
Manual focus control with a7M3/a7RM3 cameras must be "possible" in some way since it is possible with Sony´s "Imaging Edge" PC app to be seen here (didn´t try it myself yet): https://support.d-imaging.sony.c ... 4_3_panels.php#cnt4
This way won´t be "absolute", but having it at least "relative" in different speeds depending how fast one´s turning the focus wheel would be a benefit instead of having nothing this time.
Couldn´t you "listen/sniff" to what is happening on the USB port (Win internally using the Imaging Edge app and an USB sniffer) to figure out what to do?
In incorporating the Sony Support for the Ronin S can anyone comment on whether this is going to be with the use of the USB-C cable instead of the IR Cable?

Going to be an actual cable. I'm waiting for them to release it.
This is great to see! I was wondering if the focus wheel would be able to work with clear image zoom on video. I can't wait for this to be polished a little more and released. I'm curious if this will require a new cable or if one of the included ones will still work.
Any update on the Sony camera control progress? DJI will you be offering your Sony owners a free cable?
Ps can we have the Focus wheel control focus rather than Digital Zoom? Would be great to have the choice. Focus pulling on the A7iii would be a lot more useful for us!
