VariZoom VZ-Rock Reviews

Good remote for Panasonic VX3

By Terrence
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-21

This remote works well with my Panasonic HC-VX3 4K camcorder. Zoom works very nicely, the Focus and Iris works too though I wish the these controls were a rotating knob vs rocker switch. Overall, this is a good remote for your VX3!

Good, but not great

It's ok for what it does. The zoom works, the exposure control can use better range. I can make the image darker, but not brighter. Some features don't work for the Canon XF cameras. The Manfrotto unit has much better control..

Does this work on the Canon Cn20x50 50-1000?
Asked by: Bobby
According to Varizoom yes it works with the CN zooms. Also - the wheel on the side is a speed limit wheel NOT focus - though they borrowed the knob from their focus enabled zoom controls.

Will this work with a Canon C70?
Asked by: Paul
Yes it can depending on what you need it to do. It can start/stop record and control focus but it will not be able to zoom in or out unless you are using one of Canon's Cine-zoom lenses that feature a motorized zoom ring.

question

i have a sony ax 100 will this work with this camera?
Asked by: lowell
If you get two adapter cables, yes, you can use the VZRock or any LANC zoom control to control the zoom on the AX-100. While this is awkward, it is the one workaround available. Here are the two cables. Manfrotto AV-R to LANC Cable (7.8 ) B&H # MA522AV. Sony VMC-AVM1 A/V R Adapter Cable B&H # SOVMCAVM1.

question

Does this work with JVC GY-HM170UA 4KCAM Compact Professional Camcorder
Asked by: JOHNSY T.
This controller is not compatible with the HM170UA. Instead you would want to look at B&H numbers JVHZHM600VZR and VAVZRL100, which are VariZoom controllers that are compatible with the HM170UA.
