This Deluxe Zoom Controller and Electronic Focus Controller Bundle for Select Sony Camcorders from VariZoom is comprised of a zoom controller, wired focus controller, and baseplate with 15mm LWS rods. The zoom controller mounts onto your pan handle and features an 8-pin connector for connecting to and controlling the zoom on Sony EX cameras. This connector is specific to the EX cameras which include the EX1, EX3, PMW-160/200/300 and the zoom control only works with those cameras.
The grip features a pressure sensitive zoom rocker, manual speed control dial, and REC/Pause button. The RET button functions as expected and will allow you to review the last five seconds of your last shot. The wired focus controller features a motor that mounts onto 15 or 19mm rods, and it comes with three interchangeable drive gears. Included in this bundle is a baseplate and rod system. The included 7" LED monitor features 1024 x 600 resolution and supports 1080p video up to 60 fps. The monitor kit itself includes a sunhood, Sony L-series battery plate, 47Wh battery, charger, remote zoom button, swivel shoe mount, HDMI cable locks, and hard carrying case for the monitor kit.
VariZoom's Wired Electronic Focus Control for Canon, Fujinon, and Cine Lenses mounts on either 15 or 19mm rods and allows you to remotely pull focus with virtually any lens with Canon, Fujinon, or cine-style lens gears. Suitable for use with cameras on various moving camera platforms including remote heads, jib arms, and dollies. It features a focus knob and an LCD info screen for setup and control. It is a powered focus control unit, which can be used for focus, iris, or zoom by directly driving a geared lens ring.
The included adjustable cine-style gear lens gear can mount onto a lens without a lens gear to enable focus pulling. Likewise, the included 0.6 MOD lens gear can be used on select Sony camcorders. The included interchangeable motor drive gears are compatible with Canon, Fujinon, and cine-style focus gears. Also included is a 0.8 MOD gear (32 DP) and a fourth gear (64 DP) for pulling the iris. The unit requires manual calibration, and this allows you to set five programmable focus points to rapidly change focus between five points bypassing the focus knob.
The Rock-EXD Zoom Lens Control from VariZoom provides variable speed zoom control for Sony's PMW-200, PMW-300, PMW-160, PMW-EX3, and PMW-EX1 camcorders. It is an upgraded version of the Rock-EX model and features a large diameter, pressure-sensitive zoom rocker and a speed dial for precise zoom speed control. The speed dial allows the operator to set and mark the maximum desired speed for accurate and repeatable zooms. It also features a record/pause button and a video return button that plays back the last 5 second of recorded material.
The rubber-lined clamp provides a no-slip attachment to any bar up to 1.25" in diameter, allowing your to attach it to tripod handles, stabilizers, jibs, and shoulder mounts.
The Varizoom VZ-DVRODS high-quality rods system for DV/HDV cameras enables you to attach matteboxes, focus control systems, wireless adapters, and other accessories. Ideal for use with the VZ-FCU and EFCU focus controls on the Sony EX1 and EX3, the DV Rods system will also work with most other cameras. Modular and expandable, this is a versatile tool for elevating your creative capabilities.
The VZM7 Monitor Deluxe Kit from VariZoom features the VZM7 7" HDMI on-camera monitor and a variety of power and operation accessories.
The kit includes an L-Series battery plate and 6600mAh high-capacity L-Series battery, as well as a portable charger and an AC adapter for continuous in-studio power. Two HDMI cables are supplied along with two HDMI safety locks for securing the cables from accidental pullouts. A zoom button remote is also included that allows you to access Pixel-to-Pixel and Peaking modes remotely for more accurate focusing. You also get a sunhood for outdoor shots, swivel shoe camera mount, and a soft carrying case that will fit the monitor and many of the accessories.
The VZM7 is an easy-to-use monitor with an HDMI input and output. The monitor has a native resolution of 1024 x 600 and supports input signals of up to Full HD 1080p, which get downscaled to 1024 x 600. It has a 700:1 contrast ratio and 250 cd/m² brightness.
On the side of the monitor is a 3.5mm input jack built in to support the included zoom button remote control. This remote control can be attached on your tripod pan handle and pretty much anywhere else. One press of the "zoom" button on the remote control activates Pixel-to-Pixel mode on the monitor. This feature magnifies an area of the image and allows you to move to other areas so you can see the image in more detail for more accurate focusing. A second press of the zoom button takes you to Peaking mode where white outlines around objects in your image provide for additional focusing accuracy.
The VZM7 offers a headphone jack for audio monitoring, and has 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes on the top and bottom, as well as M6 holes on the sides.
