Even at the "slow" setting it was WAY TO FAST. When you are trying to do a nice slow zoom into something it looks very bad. I would not recommend buying this, don't waste your money!
I have other varizoom products and think they are terrific, but the VZ Pro-L is the most comfortable tripod zoom. It is very intuitive to use. It is a great design but personally I would like the speed dial to be a rocker like the zoom. I would recommend this zoom commander to any professal videographer.
