    But unfortunately it does not solve the problem, because the one and only MULTI-connector is already occupied by the remote control.
    Would be fine, if it had a female MULTI-connector in order to attach the remote control in addition to the battery, but I don't see such a connector in the picture.

    Meanwhile I did my own research with following results:
    - MULTI-connector is unfortunately different to micro-USB. It has one more row of "pins" deeper inside the connector, while the outer part is similar to micro-USB, thus allowing power and data connection with a regular micro-USB, while a longer special MULTI-connector reaches the extra 10 pieces of "pins" in the bottom.
    see: https://www.studio1productions.com/A...ony-pinout.htm for excellent description.
    - that same company and some chinese shops in ebay sell the connector. So one solution is to buy such a connector + a regular female micro-USB connector and do it myself.
    - However, if somebody knows where to find a ready-made cable, it would be an easier solution.

    The coupler replaces the battery leaving the multi connector free for your intervalometer.

    OK, I understand.
    Would work, but leave the battery compartment open. When the battery compartment is open, it covers the tripod screw so, that I can not fix the camera. NO GOOD, unfortunately.

    The RX100 II that I have and use as a camera trap and as a timelapse camera has a little hole in the battery door that the power wire runs through so you can close the battery door upon insertion of the adapter. The hole in the door has a rubber plug that you move out of the way to make room for the wire. Yours should have the same.

    Than you, Jeff. Now I found the hole when you pointed it out to me.
    So this alternative looks viable. FINE
