Magnus VR-SO Overview

More than just a pan handle-mounted zoom control, the Magnus Pan Handle Video Remote for Select Sony Cameras and Camcorders provides access to camera functions such as photo and video start/stop, grid lines, zoom control, shutter lock, and your camera's sleep mode. Mounting the remote to your tripod's pan handle allows you to access these features while panning or tilting the camera/camcorder on your tripod.

The included pan handle allows you to attach the remote to select Magnus tripods, for easier operation of your camera's advanced focus without having to use a second hand to manipulate the camera while operating from a tripod, which can result in shaky or blown shots. The included 31.5" long cable that connects the remote to your camera enables you to operate the remote off of a pan handle if desired and the included lanyard allows you to hang the remote from a stand or other support.

Compatibility
  • The remote is compatible with most Sony cameras that have a multiterminal port, such as the SOHDRCX405, as well as Select Sony cameras and lenses with electronic zoom capabilities like the ZV-1.
  • The handle is compatible with the Magnus VT-100, VT-200, VT-300, and VT-350.
Control in the Palm of your Hand
  • The Pan Handle Video Remote gives you camera access to functions such as triggering photos and video, zoom in or out (with a powered zoom lens), grid lines for framing, and your camera's sleep mode—all while panning/tilting your tripod.
  • Take advantage of the lockable shutter release to keep the shutter open for long exposures or to enable continuous shooting.
  • The tactile-control layout of the remote is comfortable and easy to use.
  • Zoom Control
  • The remote allows you to adjust your camera's zoom on the fly and quickly switch from wide-angle to telephoto with Sony's compatible power-zoom-equipped cameras and camcorders.
  • The slow-zoom feature allows you to gradually zoom no matter how hard you press on the zoom control, creating a slow, smooth, cinematic zoom without worrying about accidentally zooming too fast.
  • Detachable Remote
  • Mount the remote on the included pan arm to attach the system to your compatible Magnus head, or detach the remote and control the zoom and other camera functions with the remote up to 31.5" away from the camera.
  • When you need to have direct control while panning your camera, just slide the remote back onto the pan arm.

    I recently purchased the JVC GY-HM170U and use the Magnus VT-300 tripod. Is this controller compatible?
    Asked by: Randall
    The Magnus Pan Handle Video Remote for Select Sony Cameras and Camcorders is not compatible with the JVC GY-HM170U. For use, take a look at Magnus VC-20-SCP Zoom Controller for Canon, Panasonic, Sony (B&H # MAVC20SCP MFR # VC-20-SCP).
