I have purchased several of these now for my Cannon and Sony Camcorders. They work and accomplish what I need when working remote.

Will this work with a Canon XF605?
Asked by: RetroTech 1
Just bought this for a Canon XF605. This cannot connect to the Remote B port. The connection is too large on the VZ-RockC. Was looking forward to this working since LANC controllers have been extremely buggy for me with the Canon XF605.

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.
