This is a 7.3# camera. Most of the heads in that range are single handled. Including the one I have. In the Bogen catalog, none of the heads for this weight are dual handled. One may have the second handle as an option.

Few if any of the people I wanted to ask will visit this forum. I know I don't. I'm not really interested in the what someone renting a $1500/day setup for a month is using. I more interested in what someone who chose buying an HD100 over say a HVX200 because of cost is doing.

I've also amended the original post to reflect some questions I left out about remote control functions. At least one, and probably two of which are NOT remote lens control functions but are related to remote control of the HD100.

For the people I was trying to reach I WAS in the right forum.

Also note, this lens does not take a JVC focus unit ("An HZ-FM13 cannot be used with a Th16×5.5BRMU or S14×7.3B12/U zoom lens.") and Bogen and Bebob doen't have focus units either. They do have single handle solutions for the HVX200 though.
