Q: 6. Will this work with my Sony HXR-MC2500U ? If so, does it come with the LANC cable, or do I need to purchase that separately. ?

A: Marius U, I am not familiar with the Sony camera you identified, but if it has a LANC input I am sure the Varizoom will work for you. It has a cable with a mini plug in, and if Sony say's it will connect it will. The product is fantastic and I use them on all four of my cameras. I use it to start and stop recording,and to zoom in and out of a shot. I also use it on my crane. Good luck you will love it.
