Magnus VC-400-SC Overview

Trigger the start/stop functions on your camera and control zoom, focus, and iris settings with this Wireless LANC Controller for Sony, Canon & Select Panasonic Cameras from Magnus. Boasting a pressure-sensitive rocker that facilitates stable video capture while performing smooth zooming to achieve dynamic telephoto and wide-angle shots, the controller easily mounts on your pan handle or tripod via its integrated clamp.

The included 2.4 GHz wireless receiver inserts into your camera's remote or LANC port for reliable wireless connectivity, and the unit comes with a 3.3' long LANC remote cable with a 2.5mm connector as a wired option. It features an OLED display for quick verification of recording time, battery life, and connectivity status, and two separately available AAA batteries power it.

Note: The controller is only compatible with Panasonic cameras that use the LANC protocol.

Pressure-Sensitive Zoom Rocker
Enhance your video recording with this pressure-sensitive zoom control. With three speeds, you can zoom slow or fast and even reverse the direction of the toggle.
Focus & Iris Control
There are individual controls for your camcorder's focus and iris. You can set up to three speeds for focus, two increment options for the iris, and a toggle for auto or manual modes. These settings allow you to customize your shooting needs based on the scenes you're capturing.
Wireless Receiver
Insert the 2.4 GHz receiver into your camcorder's remote or LANC port, and you'll have a wireless connection. You can control your zoom, iris, and focus without extra wires to fumble over.
Wired Operation
Plug the included 2.5mm LANC cable into the remote and your camcorder, and you have a dedicated connection without any wireless interference.
Record & Review
Start and stop recording with the press of a button and without removing your hand from the pan handle. After capturing your clip, press the review button to ensure you got the right shot.
OLED Display
A bright OLED display shows your video recording time, battery life, and wireless or wired connection status. The easy-to-read screen makes for quick navigation through all the menu settings.
Built-In Clamp
Attach the remote to your pan handle, tripod, or any tubing up to 1.3" wide. Clamping the remote to the pan handle allows you to toggle the zoom and control the pan together for a dynamic, moving shot.
Sleep Timer
This remote runs off two separately available AAA batteries, and there's a sleep timer to help save battery power. Choose between ten minutes, one hour, or four hours of inactivity. This way, if you're working and put the remote down for a break, it will automatically go to sleep.
USB-C Port
Use the USB-C port to update to the latest firmware when available.

Magnus VC-400-SC Reviews

Worked perfectly right out of box and continues to do so. Good quality plastic

Remote that works with Panasonic HC-X1500

By Don

I've been looking for a remote that works with the Panasonic HC-X1500 camcorder. Panasonic doesn't make one and I wasn't thrilled with the features or cost of the meager 2nd party options they recommend. Uncertain if this would work, I ordered the Magnus LANC controller and thus far have been really happy with the results. The only thing missing is the ability to power on the camera (sespecially since the camera defaults to fairly rapid power off. I changed that default and have been pleased with the results. Great features at an affordable cost.

Does it work on the Canon AX 75 or the Panasonic HC-X2?
Asked by: Sand Bay
As the Canon XA75 UHD 4K30 Camcorder with Dual-Pixel Autofocus and the Panasonic HC-X2 4K Camcorder have sub-mini 2.5mm remote ports that support LANC, the Magnus Wireless LANC Controller for Sony, Canon & Select Panasonic Cameras should be compatible.
