LANC Shepherd Pro

Wired Remote for Stereo Flash Photography with Twin Sony Digital Cameras

Introduction: The LANC Shepherd Pro has all the features of the LANC Shepherd, and adds microprocessor control of an external flash, for highly synchronized photography with Sony digital cameras and an external flash unit. The LANC Shepherd Pro controls a pair of digital cameras, and coordinates timing for an external flash. The LANC Shepherd Pro also protects the cameras from the potentially damaging high trigger voltage present with some electronic flash units.

Compatible Cameras: Sony Mavica MVC-CD500, and the Cybershot DSC-S75, DSC-S85, DSC-V1, DSC-V3, DSC-F717, and DSC-F828 (manual zoom only on the F828). We recommend the DSC-V3, DSC-R1 or DSC-V1 as the best combination of light weight and image quality. The LANC Shepherd Pro cannot be used with any other brand of digital still camera.

Compatible Flash Units: The LANC Shepherd Pro can be used with a Sony HVL-F32X or Sony HVL-F1000 flash unit. One of the two flash jacks on the LANC Shepherd Pro is dedicated to Sony flash units. We recommend the HVL-F32X as the most versatile Sony flash unit, as it supports fully automatic, TTL, and manual flash modes. The Sony HVL-F1000 is only fully automatic, but is smaller, lighter, less expensive, easiest to use, and works very well also.

The LANC Shepherd Pro also has a second dedicated flash jack for a generic flash or flash triggering system. There are hundreds of generic flash units (for example Vivitar and Sunpak) and flash triggering systems that will work well with the LANC Shepherd Pro as well. The LANC Shepherd Pro provides protection (the LANC Shepherd Pro is rated to 400 volts) from the high trigger voltages found on some older flash units.  See below or the user manual for the cords that you will need.

Flash Cords for Lanc Pro or Lanc SLR

These are for use with a non-Sony flash and your Lanc Shepherd Pro.  If you would like to trigger a non-Sony flash with your Lanc Shepherd Pro these are the cords you will need.

(these are custom so may add a few days to your order).

If you already have a PC cable for your flash and some way to mount the flash, you can use a “PC Female to Lanc Adapter”, plug the PC cable into the adapter, then plug the adapter into the LANC Shepherd Pro or LANC SLR generic flash jack.
