The LANC Zoom Controller for Sony, Canon (LANC), Panasonic Cameras from Acebil is a multi-speed zoom rocker and camera start/stop unit. It allows you to bypass your camera's built-in zoom control and REC start/stop switch so you can operate the camera remotely. This enables you to opearate your camera on a tripod and control your start/stop and zoom without removing your hand from the panhandle.
The controller connects to your camera via the 2.5mm stereo mini jack and features a push button for starting and stopping video recording. The zoom lever can be used to control the wide angle and telephoto functions, as well as the zoom speed.
Operating the zoom lever on your camera when it is mounted on a tripod can lead to unsatisfactory results, especially when trying to zoom, pan, and tilt at the same time. With this hardwired controller, you don't have to take your hand from the panhandle to start/stop your camera or to zoom.
The controller features two 2.5mm connectors, and includes one removable cable. One connector provides LANC control protocol for use with Sony or Canon, while the other port provides Panasonic protocol
Clamps to items 0.39 - 1.18" in width
