Focus ring for VX-2100

I am looking for a focus ring - an extra ring that attaches on the lens and helps you change the focus betwwen two dif spots - I don't know if it sounds confusing, can't explain in it any better.
If any body has an idea of where can I find something like this, I would appreciate the help.

Anthony

The VX2100's focus control is motorized, and the focus ring on the camera controls the focus motor, and does not adjust the lens directly like on a manual-focus camera.

Troy's right, and if you turn the focus and zoom ring slow enough, nothing happens - you don't generate enough electricity to feed the circuits. So the idea of having an attached lever with end stops wouldn't work - and you can test this out simply by using a chinagraph pencil on the focus ring and doing some focus pull experiments at different speeds.
