Just used this for the first time a week ago, and it was perfect for my needs and look forward to using it more. All of the features that this has will cover all of my needs now and into the future. The price is just right.

This has been a game changer for me, being new to self filming hunts this was the one thing that made life easier filming in the woods and not getting "busted" item came as described and works like a charm. Thanks B&H

Great little zoom controller

I bought this controller for my Canon 70-200 MM Compact Servo Zoom lens. While the lens comes with a grip and zoom lever, it cannot be used with the Canon C300 Mk III when its own grip is attached. Enter the VariZoom. It is a smooth operator that I keep attached to the panning handle of my fluid video head.

Amazing

We purchased 3 of these for our Canon XA15. All the functions work, the zoom is smooth and the focus is super helpful.

Too many failures

I have had to replace this once for each of my 2 cameras. In other words, this is the 4th one I have had to purchase for 2 cameras. I love the functionality; I just wish it was more reliable.

Excellent alternative to a zoom grip

I bought the VariZoom for a Canon CN-E 70-200mm Lens, that when mounted to my C300 Mk III did not allow the use of the included zoom grip. It works as well if not better than the OEM zoom rocker and can be conveniently mounted wherever one finds it most accessible.

Precision zoom controller for the Panasonic DVX200

The Varicam RockDVX is a precision zoom controller (super slow to extremely fast) for the Panasonic DVX200. Wonderful for live events. Best controller I have used.

Controller for Panasonic Camcorder

I have owned many of these units and all work very well. We put a lot of stress on our equipment and at times maybe even a little rougher than most in handling and need to replace units, this is all on us, but always choose the VZ-ROCK-PZFI because they simply work well at a very good price.

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.

Does it work with the Panasonic DVX - 200?
Asked by: greg
It does not. The DVX200 uses the two plug system for a controller. Instead you would need BH #VAVZROCKPZFI which has the proper connections for the DVX200 and will allow you to control the Zoom, Focus, Iris and Start/Stop Recording. https://bhpho.to/2VkMiLj
