Are theri options for control (zoom rocker/Rec) at DVinfo.net

For the FS700 - I'm wondering if there are options for a seperate control to trigger the recording on the camera, say if its on a rig and the current button placement isn't ideal. A bonus would be if I can still control the zoom rocker, but I'm thinking that is likely more proprietary.

Thanks.

There is quite a bit of slack on the cable which connects the zoom rocker handle to the camera body. I purchased a handle extension for my 700 from Olaf at Westside AV so mine sits forward about 6" from standard. If you wanted to extend even further perhaps on a jib, I'm pretty sure you can buy inexpensive extensions as the cable is not proprietary.
