Dear members of the Sony Community,
We have the following issue: We have two portable Sony video cameras, bought back in 2012 and 2013 approximately. Then, because my wife is a left-hander, we bought a Sony active tripod model GP-AVT1, which is mighty useful for a number of reasons, not only that is useful for left-handers. It provides stability of holding, angle of shooting adjustable, still positioning of the camera, etc. The thing is that the cable of the tripod started disconnecting due to the intensive use and storage together with the cameras. Then, we decided to buy a new one, it appeared these tripods were no longer in produce and sale, and furthermore, Sony have replaced the type of plug these tripods / cameras use to get connected, so all the new tripods are equipped with the new type of plug. Nowhere in the internet we can found to buy the old tripod type. I am unable to find also a cable adapter so that we buy a new tripod and adapt its plug to the plug available in the old cameras. I only see cable adapting old tripod to a new camera, but not vice versa. In the same time we love our old cameras, they work perfectly, the one I use is high-end 3D camera with GPS, video-light, manual focus camera worth 1500 euro, when it was first issue and I just do want to replace it with a new one. Can you help me finding a working solution, either by finding a cable adapter, so we can buy a new tripod and adapt it to our old cameras, or buy an old fashion new tripod. Or by any other ideas?
Thank you in advance!
