Has someone experience with an a6400 and a6000?

Limited experience, but interesting. I tested a rig with a couple of 6400 (from our club member). The synch between the cameras (picture and movie) is possible with an ordinary cable between them. You can buy two such cables and connect the 2.5 mm ends together:

The synch is possible by setting the sleep timer to 10 seconds on both cameras. You just have to switch the cameras off and on and then wait for these 10 first seconds that both go to sleep and then wake them up by gently pressing the trigger on one of the cameras. After that the cameras are ready for synch shooting (video as well when the main button is assigned to video as well), since after that you don't have to switch them off and on again (just to wake them from sleep).

I found it by chance (the "sleep" stuff) when measuring synch between the cameras (have made some electronics which on-line measures the synch). Really interesting.
