zoom controller
Hi,
Does anybody know what zoom controller will work with the Z7 & S270u? Is it a 8 pin cable or lanc controlled. Thanks, Mark |
I've been using a standard lanc - Varizoom Stealth's in particular. I know there's the multipin in the front but don't need that for my uses.

I have been using lanc VZ Rock Varizoom...works fine except the focus switch and auto focus button do not work with this camera. Not that I use them anyway, but...
the zoom and power buttons work just fine. |
The Bebob Zoe works fine too - all the buttons.

Sony
I got a Sony remote zoom control for my 270 (LANC) but cant get the remote focus working yet. Everything else works .There is a multi pin socket on the camera body at the front for other lenses than the standard Zeiss ( but at the moment I think only Fuji make a wide angle lens for 1/3 inch chip cameras and its a touch expensive) I wish Canon would get their act together and build a replacement for the YJ 12(or 13) which I had before for my DSR 570!

I bought 1 of the Beebob Zoe controllers at NAB. It will get its first official test this weekend. I also picked up a 16x9 WA lens that will be put through the paces as well.

Which w/a lens did you buy Chad?

I don't have the lens in front of me, but it was a 16x9 brand .75x WA angle. Its zoom through and really nice. I just wish it wasn't so heavy.
|
Quality glass is almost always heavy for whatever reason. Just something I've noticed through the years.
|
I presume it is a lens adaptor you have that fits to the front of the 270 lens?
|
Yep. It screws directly onto the Z7U. I had to remove the hood in order to make it fit, but I haven't found a replacement yet. 16x9 does sell one, but its $280 for a piece of plastic/rubber (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...rch&Q=*&bhs=t).
I called BH and they really didn't have anything else. I might buy some black construction paper and double-sided tape ;) |
