I think I would’ve preferred some sort of right angle type connector for strain relief and compactness.
You shouldn't need a wake up on the iq4 as on the iq3 you just set zero latency on the back. just have to wait for P1 to add this option to the firmware and a cable...I think I would’ve preferred some sort of right angle type connector for strain relief and compactness.
Also, is there any chance of a release integrated with the wakeup? Or like I posted in the other thread, a release with camera control (for ES)
I was thinking a couple little wheels would be nice for shutter/aperture/iso. So if I'm hand holding a tech cam, I could have a release and camera controls without doing it on the back.
And so the Hahnel trigger plugs into the XF? Via which port? The 12 pin? Also, is there a wireless trigger?
Well, you know what I meant, ISO/shutter for ES.How is any ‘little wheel’ going to change the aperture when shooting on a tech cam?
As Doug pointed out, this is a prototype cable, but we are hoping for delivery soon. Whether it is a right angle or straight, we're not sure yet.I think I would’ve preferred some sort of right angle type connector for strain relief and compactness.

Interesting, so if I’m understanding -As Doug pointed out, this is a prototype cable, but we are hoping for delivery soon. Whether it is a right angle or straight, we're not sure yet.
At this point the wake-up signal is now done through the shutter release button on the IQ4 (with no 4 second limit), so there isn't necessarily a need for a wake-up cable. Will Phase release one alongside? Not sure.

You now have as long as you need to square yourself for capture, yes. It seems a smoother way of shooting to do everything through the back, but we'll see if a new wake-up cable is made available as well.Interesting, so if I’m understanding -
Rather than have the button wake the sensor up for 4 seconds - We now press the shutter button on the screen to wake the back indefinitely until the shutter is triggered? That works for me, though sounds a bit slower and inherently fiddlier(depending on shooting conditions) than the physical button on the wakeup cable. Small price to pay for not needing a flimsy, wildly overpriced cable, that has a short life under regular usage.
It really needs to be right angle, like all Alpa cables have been. Crazy to have it sticking 8/10 cm (3-4") out from back like that.As Doug pointed out, this is a prototype cable, but we are hoping for delivery soon. Whether it is a right angle or straight, we're not sure yet.

****in’ amenIt really needs to be right angle, like all Alpa cables have been. Crazy to have it sticking 8/10 cm (3-4") out from back like that.
I left my old 8pin Alpa right angle cable attached to IQ3/ FPS all the time, (i.e. for 3 years!) can't do that with this.
I heard Phase are not releasing the right angle 12 pin connectors as yet, nor the tech specs for cabling, which quite frankly is shitty of them. Very disappointing attitude. I say hack a prototype using Hahnel plug, then go to Alvin's Cables in Shenzen and get a bunch made, with a right angle. I'll be first in line for a working one.
Thanks!If it helps, I actually made a cable a while ago for my XF to interface to a Pluto remote release and if all you want to do is fire off the camera then I would assume that the following might help as it covers the wiring of the Hanhnel release (whose cable for XF I modified). I bought the Phase One / Hahnel release which comes with the XF plug and just spliced the cable.
connector pins:
Pin 1 - S1 – half press (focus)
Pin 2 - S2 – full press (shutter)
Pin 3 – GND
Sorry, my cables are shrink wrapped and I got and did this back in 2016. It was pretty simple to check with a voltmeter though.Thanks!
There's White, Yellow and Red in the Hahnel, so do you recall which color is which at all?.
