Does anyone know if there is any "extender" for the cord length of this. I plan to use this to take "selfies" with my NEX3, but the cord is so short.

You can use a radio trigger for the NEX3... does not work with the a7r as due to sonys not willing to ad a Multi-Terminal adapter-cable with an 2.5mm Jack to remote-trigger the camera with everything on the market. Vice-Versa; remote triggering external studio flashes. But I guess the NEX3 has the other plug of these images,is that right? I know there is an option out there to use a radio trigger. These always work instantly. as a cable would be added.

I have wondered if it is possible for a technician to change to a longer cable. Also my Lightening Bug doesn't have a cable to fit Sony and wondered if a technician could change an end.

I tried it on my mini Nikon DSLR. Yes, it could work; however I would not recommend it. It is hard to hold it steady because the DSLR are heavier than a regular camera. I think that it would be even harder to hold if you have a regular DSLR. You'll find it more of an inconvenient. The extender is meant for small regular cameras. I've received a LOT of compliments using it on our recent trip :)

The power cable for the camera is pretty long, I have my camera mounted right where the ceiling and wall meet and the power cable that came with my camera reaches all the way to the outlet with room to spare...if I had to guess, my cable is at least 8 feet long, 10 feet max?...should be no problem unless you have really tall ceilings and want to mount it really high so no one can touch it. If that's not long enough just use an extension cord, I tested the camera to see if it would still work with an extension cord and it worked fine for me.

The Pocket model XShot camera extender measures only 6.5" when collapsed - small enough to fit in your pocket or purse. Extends to a length of about 30". Great for selfies or hard to get to areas.

The cord is short because the end with the 3.5mm connector is usually connected to the transmitter pack which is worn on a belt around your waist. If you need it to be longer then you would have to order an extension cord with a male and female 3.5mm connecter on each end. You should be able to pick one up from either the radio shack store or online or from Amazon.com.

I'm having trouble finding a replacement cable, let alone a longer one (maybe proprietary). If you really want to extend the length you have a couple options: 1. use the mini xlr adapter end and get another mini xlr cable to extend it (you'll also probably need an adapter to connect the mini xlr into... anything else), or 2. use the device as intended - connected to a belt pack wireless transmitter. Also, keep in mind this is a condenser mic and requires its own power (provided by the belt pack transmitter or phantom power via XLR). If you try to use it as a simple computer, or dynamic, mic, it will not work.

Hi shaan, every camera has its extensión. I only had to buy more cable for once camera that was installed outside of my house.

I have the same camera and the right angle of the cord points forward, not down. Also, be sure that you are opening the connections closest to the front of the camera, as there are two sets of ports on that side. If that doesn't work they may have sent you the wrong one.

Yes I did. I believe my shots are in the customer photos. I did not use an extender, just maxed out at 400mm though I didn't calibrate the sweet spot for the aperture for maximum clarity. I shot both handheld and tripod and I was very amazed by the handheld quality. I was very happy with the results.

I would say about 15ft as long as the cord that comes with the camera also I would think you could add your own extension cord if your over 15ft from your outlet

I bought an adaptor and extended one of the shorter cables (75ft?) with a 100 ft cable and it wouldnt power. I found a 6ft cable to extend it instead (total approx 81 ft) and it did work so i would guess that 200ft would introduce to much loss to power the camera. Hope that helps...as a side note the cameras come with all cat5 cables. My 100ft and 6ft cables i used to extend are both cat6.

No it will not. I am pretty sure it does not extend high enough if you attached it to the bottom of the battery grip. You can however change the regular battery when it is on the camera. Looks like you might be stuck gluing something to your cam. i really wanted to avoid that.

I use it with a Sony NEX5 with 18-200 mm lens attached. From the back of the camera to the front of the lens it measures 5 3/4". It fits into the bag with 1/4" to spare, without the nose extension being used. With the nose extended there is an additional 2 3/4" of depth available. The NEX5 is a pretty small camera, the body is 2 5/8" tall x 4 3/4" wide (with a leather protector I keep on it). In the bag there is an additional 1" tall and 1" wide available space around my camera. In general this has been an excellent bag. I like it very much and would not hesitate to recommend it, if your camera will fit in it.

I bought this separate, so I guess the answer is "no" to "Does this come with the extension."Mine is just over 16 inches overall.I am using it with my camera, so there is not need for an extension.My camera cables are 3 conductor plus ground shield; audio, video and power.This audio pickup has 3 connections; power in (from existing cable), power out (to the camera) and audio (back to computer on existing cable audio).So this means it connects in-line with the existing camera cable to get power and uses the existing audio line to return the audio to your computer (or other device).I hope that helps.

I have the viewfinder. After using it a couple of times on NEX-3, it magnetized the autofocus motor. I stopped using it immidiately. For few weeks I could not use the camera with autofocus because the AF motor was unstable and oscillating. If you could demagnetized and just attach it with the bottom screw then you might have it working well.

Sure. You can extend it. Extended it is like 2.5 feet long. Plus, the handle can be moved up and down. This is great because it gives you more flexibility when adjusting to your needs. I do recommend buying the arm support strap, because a DSLR+Stabilizer can kill your back/arm after an hour. Hope this helps!

I bought the long extender cord first but it would not charge. I returned and bought the shorter version and it has worked for over a year now. ??? Not sure why. Sorry can't help more
