I have a similar issue: when a hot shoe adapter is used on a Sony a6000 camera, to mark an event on a GNSS reciver (EMLID REACH); It is able to mark events on all shutter velocity (1/60; 1/1000; 1/2500, etc...).

This fact is known according to some forum research.... I do not have a Sony camera.

I use a Samsung NX300 camera, and the events are only marked up to 1/250 shutter velocity (1/60...1/250).

I wonder if it is possible to 'break' this limitation with some eletronic or software implementation.

Thank's

Fabio, I know this is old.  But I want to trigger an event in the Emlid M2 (or M+)  but do so with the signal from the Micro SD card.  I have ordered some extension ribbons so that I can extend the necessary wires from the ribbon to the Emlid.  Do you happen know if this is in fact possible and what the setup would need to be?

Thanks,

Tim
