I have tried everything I could think of to make ASIAIR work with my Sony 7RM5 to no avail. Camera settings triple checked, used a shutter release cable. Results either in „Exposure Failure“ or something like „may sure that the shutter release cable is properly connected“. Could anyone with an 7RM5 could get it to work?

Sorry for the trouble, this is a known problem on A7M4, we are working on this, if there is any updates i will tell you.
Currently you can reset the firmware to back to the last version as a temporary solution.

w1r3 I found a solution but this only works with Android devices.
-Open the ASIAIR app and install the old version.
-Then you reset the ASIAIR and switch it off.
-Then delete the app and go to the Play Store and deactivate automatic updates.
-Open this page and download this file and install it. https://apkpure.com/de/asiair/com.zwoasi.asiair/download/2.1
-It must be version 2.1-10.74 (Mar 3, 2023)
-If you haven't set up your Sony A74 then this video here will help you. https://youtu.be/5KsZ-79CsxA?si=iOp3ny7tVtD4GE4m
-You also need a SNAP cable for your camera and ASIAIR.
-Once you have everything connected, turn on your ASIAIR and leave the camera off.
-When the beep came, connect your Android device to the ASI Air and then turn on your camera.
-If the Sony A74 has connection problems, simply turn the camera off and then turn it back on.
I was able to connect my A74 and can use everything without any problems.
I hope I was able to help you and wish you clear nights.

Can anyone report on connecting the a6500? I see it is still “untested,” and I haven’t been able to find any reports online. Does anyone on this forum have that camera and is willing to try it out? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if A7IV still has issues with Asiair? Or has it been fixed?

It still has issues. Tried it the other day. Basically, in my case, unusable.
I understand that this is sort of backwards engineered for sony… but it used to work and now it doesn’t. Kind of very disappointed. And I just can’t believe this is taking so long to fix.

I am trying to use my Sony A6600 with an ASIair Mini - with no success at all. Has anyone managed to do this?
I've done it, it works on Sony A7R5 
I've just done everything like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KsZ-79CsxA
Besides, you have to use shutter release cable for Sony with micro USB! If not you can not use BULB but max 30 seconds. So without shutter release cable for Sony you can take max 30 seconds picture
All, I was able to control the Sony a1 with the ASIAir Plus using a Sony S2 to 2.5mm jack cable and operate the camera (in BULB Mode) at 60s, 120s, 300s and 1000s. I've posted a blog w/ details and caveats. Note also that the a1 can be operated in APS-C Mode for the added 1.5X magnification. https://jerrycabinet.blogspot.com/2025/02/sony-a1-asiair-plus-works-04-feb-2025.html

J-Ingram Gonna add a +1 to this request! Would love to get A7CR support or I'm happy to help write whatever driver is needed to make this happen if you all would be open to it!
