I have a Sony A7 II and want to know if the Visico 4 300W studio flash will work with it. Do I need any extra accessories to trigger the light and control basic functions?

You would need to place a compatible transmitter, such as the Visico VC-801TX, on your camera's hot shoe. The transmitter would allow you to trigger the flash when your camera's shutter fires, to set manual power, and turn the modeling lamp on and off.

Yes—your Sony A7 II can use the Visico 4 300W, but you’ll need a compatible trigger/transmitter on the camera’s hot shoe. A transmitter such as the Visico VC-801TX lets the camera fire the flash when you take a shot, and can also provide basic control like manual power adjustment and turning the modeling lamp on or off. In short, the light is usable with the A7 II as long as you add the correct compatible transmitter.
