Canon ZSG-C10 Zoom Grip for COMPACT-SERVO Lens
Key Features
  • Zoom Rocker
  • VTR Start/Stop Button
  • ONE-SHOT AF Button
  • Can be Used Detached from Lens
Designed specifically for use with CN-E COMPACT-SERVO lenses, the Canon ZSG-C10 Zoom Grip adds an ENG-style operation to your camera setup. It has an ergonomic form factor for comfortable operation and features a seesaw rocker for zoom control, as well as REC start/stop and ONE-SHOT AF buttons. Because the grip provides electronic control for the drive unit, rather than mechanically driving the lens itself, you can choose to mount it directly to the side of the lens (using an included screw-on rosette) or mount it to an ARRI standard rosette elsewhere on your shoulder rig, as long as the 20-pin cable is still connected to the lens drive unit.

Works as intended

I had hoped to be able to use this grip with the lens, but when I'd mounted it on my Canon C300 Mk III I'd found that it came so close to the C300's own grip that it made both impossible to use and I'd removed it and replaced it with a VariZoom controller.

Poorly conceived grip.

The grip-whose construction does not match the quality of the lens itself-when attached to the CN-E70--200mm lens and C300 Mk III comes within a millimeter of the camera's own grip, making both grips unusable. I have removed the grip from the lens and will not be using it. It is a shame that Canon hadn't taken this issue into consideration since the zoom rocker allows for modulated zooms that the lens controls cannot match. The only solution is to remove the camera's own grip, or the lens grip, and since the cameras grip has greater overall function it is the lens grip that will be discarded.

what is not to like about the FREE $495 Zoom Grip?

The grip provides extra stability for run and gun users and the best part is that it comes FREE as a bundle add on when you buy the 18-80mm or the 70-200mm COMPACT-SERVO lens. Make sure you also purchase the Zacuto right angle extension cable (B&H #ZAZC18RC) as part of the excellent bundle package. The regular lens cable attaches to the bottom of the lens making it impossible to set the camera down on the ground or a table without risking the chance of the cable snapping off or worse breaking off inside the lens mount. Zacuto makes great stuff and this cable adapter is almost a must.

Adds an extension for easily working the zoom from a tripod.

The build-in Servo Zoom buttons on the lens work just fine for most handheld use and I would have to remove the built-in button unit to attach this device. The built-in buttons are hard to reach when the camera is attached to a tripod. This Zoom Grip can be plugged into the Canon 18-80 T4.4 lens and operated from the tripod's location.

cheap feeling

as a professional videographer I expect my gear to be professional and this isnt whaen used on the 18-80 on the 100 mark ii and the c200 its gets in the way of the other hand grip making it worthless as is also its very cheap and "plasticky" feeling I got this free with my 18-80 so its ok but I would not recommend buying this...plus if you put your camera on a tripod you have to disconnect and reconnect it everytime.

Good Zoom grip with caveats

With the grip mounted to the lens it actually touches the camera mounted grip on my Canon C300 Mk III, making both grips unusable. I therefore cannot use the lens grip and have replaced its zoom rocker function with a VariZoom rocker.

Functional zoom grip for intended lenses

By Ronald

This grip had come with the Canon CN-E 70-200mm Servo Zoom, and it works well for its intended purpose. However, with the lens and grip mounted on a Canon C300 Mk III the grip cannot be used in concert with the camera's own grip since it abuts the camera's grip making both grips useless. I have since relegated the lens grip to the box that it had arrived in. The lens/grip combo might work well on a different camera, but it is a no-go for the C300 MK III.

question

Will I need this grip if I'm using the 18-80mm Lens on the Canon C200 or can the C200's Handgrip sort of replicate the functions of this grip?
Asked by: Robert
You would not need the ZSG-C10 Zoom Grip, as B&H # CAE1880EF does have a basic zoom controller on it. However the C200 grip does not have a Zoom Rocker, so it is not a full replacement for ZSG-C10.

Isn't the drive cable built into the servo unit? I don't understand how the alternate Zacuto right angle cable works, if the cable it is supposed to replace is already built into the servo unit
Asked by: Aaron
The Right-Angle Extension Cable for Canon 18-80 Lens from Zacuto enables extending the lens grip a further 6" from the lens. It is useful when you want to retain control, but don't want the handgrip close to the lens.

On the EOS C100 Mark II - Can the ZSG-C10 be mounted on the side of the camera, to replace the pistol grip? I plan on upgrading my stock lens to the CN-E 18-80 mm T4.4 to have manual iris control on the lens.
Asked by: Chris
No this can ONLY be mounted on the lens.

question

Can CSG-Z10 be mounted on tripod arm similar to micro force controller or mounted on Zacuto arm in front of camera (off lens)?
Asked by: Joe
This controller can be used off the lens. The cable is approximately 10 /25cm. This should be adequate for use on the front right grip of a shoulder rig. However, it would be short for a tripod pan handle mount. At this time there are no custom lengths of extension cables for tripod use. There are cables for use on cranes but those are too long and expensive. Such as: Canon 20-Pin Zoom/Focus Servo Cable (14') B&H # CAZFSEC20P or the more affordable and longer VariZoom Extension Cable for VZPGC20, VZROCKC20, and Canon ZSG-C10 Zoom Controllers (25') B&H # VAVZEXT2025.

question

is the zoom servo motor powered through the EF mount or is it powered externally?
Asked by: Resti B.
Normally it is powered through a Canon EF mount. There is a 12VDC sleeve jack on the rear of the lens. At this time there is no Canon approved 12VDC power supply for it.
