SONY FX6 | Long-Range remote control for M600 drone

If you are a drone user, wildlife photographer or professional cinematographer, for sure you needed a long-range remote control for your camera many times. No matter, if your camera is mounted on a drone, cinema crane, cable cam, or on the buggy for wildlife photography. AIR Commander Entire is a device you are finding for. Piece of very smart electronics, which is able to control almost any current camera. For Sony FX6 we have implemented LANC control enhanced with Grip simulation. So, Entire uses two connections at once. Grip simulation brings you remote control above customizable buttons C4 C5 C6 and also ND filters.

LANC Control can be used also for other Sony proffesional cameras with LANC!

Option 1

Remote control of SONY FX6 at DJI M600 drone via AIR Commander Link v2

The most universal solution is based on AIR Commander Entire as camera remote controller and AIR Commander Link v2 as a long-range wireless link. AIR Commander Link v2 will just transfer your commands from the place where you or your camera operator stands and remote location (drone, crane, cable cam or etc.). AIR Commander Link v2 Receiver just accepts these commands and forward them to the Entire, which will execute them on your SONY FX6 camera. Interconnection between AIR Commander Link v2 Receiver and the Entire is very simple, just one cable which includes also power for the Receiver. Interconnection cables (LANC + FX6 grip) needs to be ordered at our store. Basic operation scheme you can see in the next picture.

Option 2

Remote control of SONY FX6 at DJI M600 drone via DJI Expansion Kit (Light Bridge 2)

You can also use DJI Lightbridge 2 wireless link from your DJI M600 drone as a control channel. For this solution, you will need DJI Expansion Kit for your DJI Transmitter. This kit enables you to transmit custom commands via Lightbridge to F-Ports of your drone. Because DJI A3 F-ports are only PWM you need to mix them up by PWM->SBUS converter. SBUS input is then executed at the Sony FX6 camera by the Entire via LANC or FX6 Grip cable.
This option is slightly less comfort for user, but offers full control range of the LightBridge2.
The basic scheme is in the next picture.
Full range of drone control
With this option you will get full range of the DJI M600 remote control system.
Connection necessary
For this option you need wired connection between A3 unit and camera position.
Fixed to one remote
DJI Expansion KIT is mounted to one DJI Controller and can not be controlled from other place.
