Which MIOPS cable do I need?

Are you using a MIOPS trigger or accessory and do you want to know which cable fits your camera? You are in the right place. The correct MIOPS cable depends on your camera brand and your exact camera model. Even within the same brand, the connection can differ per model series.

That is why we created a handy MIOPS cable selector. Choose your camera brand, select your model and you will immediately see which cable you need.

Why do you need a MIOPS cable?

A MIOPS cable connects your MIOPS device to your camera. This is useful for high-speed photography, lightning photography, water drop photography, timelapse shots and creative long exposures.

The cable sends the signal from the MIOPS trigger to your camera. This way, your camera knows exactly when to take the shot. Without the right cable, this communication will not work correctly or the connector simply will not fit your camera.

The right MIOPS cable depends on your camera model

Many photographers start by searching for the brand, such as “MIOPS cable Canon” or “MIOPS cable Nikon”. That is a good start, but it is not always enough. Not every camera from the same brand uses the same connection.

For example, a Canon EOS R does not automatically need the same cable as an older Canon DSLR. Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus and Fujifilm also use different connections depending on the series or model.

Always use your exact camera model as the starting point. This helps you avoid choosing a cable that does not fit.

Which MIOPS cable types are available?

Our selector includes several MIOPS cable types. The cable name usually consists of “Cable” followed by a code. Examples include:

• Cable-C1
• Cable-C2
• Cable-F1
• Cable-N1
• Cable-N3
• Cable-O1
• Cable-P1
• Cable-S1
• Cable-S2

These codes refer to the type of connection that fits certain camera models. The letter often gives an indication of the camera family or connection type, but do not rely on the name alone. Always check your exact camera model in the selector.

Which camera brands are included in the selector?

The MIOPS cable selector contains a large overview of camera brands and models. You will find models from brands such as:

• Canon
• Nikon
• Sony
• Panasonic
• Fujifilm
• Olympus
• Pentax
• Hasselblad
• Leica
• Kodak
• Minolta
• Konica Minolta
• Contax
• Sigma
• Lytro

In total, the selector includes hundreds of camera models and multiple cable types. This makes it much faster to find the correct cable than checking every product page manually.

What should you check when choosing a MIOPS cable?

Always check the full model name of your camera. You can usually find it on the front of the camera, in the menu or on the bottom of the camera body. Pay special attention to additions such as Mark II, Mark IV, Z, X, M, D or other model codes.

Do not use only the brand as your guide. Two cameras from the same brand can still have different connections. The wrong cable may look almost the same, but it might not fit or it may not send the signal correctly.

Are you unsure between two very similar models? Check the exact model indication of your camera before ordering.

My camera is not listed. What now?

If your camera is not listed in the selector, that does not always mean there is no suitable cable. Sometimes a new or less common camera model uses the same connection as another model.

In that case, contact us and include your camera brand and exact model name. We will gladly help you find the MIOPS cable that fits best.
