video button solution for A7/R/S

This guy got sick of waiting for Sony to fix a very obvious flaw

Nice attempt but I think Sony is gg to change the design. Lol

Cool idea! But US$25 is a tough sell, even if it were an official Sony accessory. To be fair, it looks quite nicely made (as far as I can tell from the fuzzy pics).

They've stuck with the same position even though they had a chance to move it or reassign the function in the newer body of the A7 mark II. You can count on the A7r II and A7sII to have the same body.

Allowing the shutter button to act as the REC button when its on 'V' Mode (like those AV, TV dials) would solve all the problems.

Don't even need a redesign.

GH4 has it and yes, GH4 + GH3 has crappy video REC button too so i always use the shutter button to start and stop.

Canon has the most user friendly DSLR/M43 Video Rec button so far. I wonder why they need to over complicate and reimagine something that works perfectly.
