4. Setup Instructions

  1. Attach Receiver to Camera: Connect the spring cable from the receiver unit to the LANC port (usually a 2.5mm jack) on your Blackmagic or Z Cam camera.
  2. Mount Receiver (Optional): The receiver unit is compact and can be left dangling or secured to your camera rig using appropriate mounting accessories if desired.
  3. Power On: Ensure your camera is powered on. The remote control (transmitter) is typically battery-powered and will activate when a button is pressed or may have a power switch (not explicitly shown, assume auto-on or internal battery).
  4. Pairing (if necessary): Most wireless remotes automatically pair. If the remote does not respond, refer to the Troubleshooting section or check for a pairing button/sequence (not specified in product info).

5. Operating Instructions

Once the receiver is connected and the system is powered on, operating the Lanparte LANC-02 is straightforward:

  • Start Recording: Press the red "REC" button on the wireless remote control (transmitter) once to start recording.
  • Stop Recording: Press the red "REC" button on the wireless remote control (transmitter) again to stop recording.

5.1 One-to-Many Control

The Lanparte LANC-02 system supports controlling multiple cameras simultaneously with a single transmitter. To utilize this feature, you will need to purchase additional receiver units (LANC-02 receivers) for each camera you wish to control. Connect each receiver to its respective camera's LANC port. The single transmitter will then broadcast the record command to all paired receivers within range.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote and receiver units. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Battery: While specific battery type is not provided, wireless remotes typically use small coin-cell or AAA batteries. Replace batteries when the remote's range or responsiveness decreases. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
  • Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the spring cable to prevent damage.
