(Just for clarification: socket = female, plug = male) Canon 1Dx, 50D & 70D: Micro-USB socket to mini-USB plug.Canon 7D Mk II, 90D, 200 II, 250D & 850D: Micro-USB socket to micro-USB plug (i.e.Canon EOS R, RP, R5, R6 & 1Dx Mk III: Micro-USB socket to USB-C plug.Depending on your camera, you’ll additionally need the following USB adapter cable: Canon EOS R5 and R6 need a Micro HDMI (HDMI type D) (plug) to Mini HDMI (socket) adapter. On all Canon cameras, except the EOS R5 and R6, you’ll need a Mini-HMDI (HDMI type C) extension. List of adaptersįor every Canon camera that is not yet officially compatible, we recommend using the Unleashed C1, since it has more space between its HDMI and USB plug than the Unleashed C2 does. Well, now you can! Read on to find out exactly which adapters you’ll need. Want to shoot day-to-night “Holy Grail” time lapses with your new EOS R5? Geotag with the 7D Mark II, shoot long exposures with the 70D? Wirelessly start video recording with multiple 90Ds on tripods? But if you’re after the feature-set and don’t mind the cables, this allows you to use the Unleashed and all its features. Of course, you’ll lose the conveniently small design of the Unleashed, which normally blends seamlessly into the camera’s design. In fact, the Unleashed’s firmware (and therefore all of its functionality) is absolutely compatible with these cameras! The only thing necessary are two adapters or extensions depending on the camera.
The good news is that just because they don’t fit the camera body directly, that doesn’t mean the Unleashed won’t work on them. All of these cameras are more or less unique in their socket arrangement, so we would have to develop and produce a new Unleashed model for each of these camera models, which is not feasible – at least at this point. As a result, the Unleashed is physically not compatible. These cameras either have a new USB-C socket or the arrangement of the USB and HDMI socket is different from all their other cameras. Unfortunately, for both of us, Canon decided to mix things up a little. Another favorite is the 70D, and the same goes for the 200 II, 250D, 50D, 90D, 850D, 7D Mark II and the 1DX. Of course, we’ve also received quite a few requests regarding the compatibility of certain Canon cameras that are not (yet) on the compatibility list, most of all the Canon EOS R line.
Since then we’ve also implemented improvements, new features and have published many app and firmware updates. In the last year we’ve shipped out many Unleasheds to customers all over the world and the feedback has been great. The article below applies to the Unleashed ’18 only.
