Shop VariZoom VZ-Rock for smooth zoom, focus control. Durable build, LANC/Panasonic DVX compatibility. Includes cable & case. Order yours today!

If you're seeking superior control over your DV camcorder, the VZ-Rock Miniature Full-Featured Variable Rocker Control with LANC Jack is your ultimate solution. This unique device, complete with a VariZoom 20" Cable for LANC and Panasonic DVX Controllers, offers unparalleled precision and responsiveness. The VZ-Rock's standout feature is its variable speed Rocker Zoom thumb control. This innovative design allows you to maintain the slowest crawl or gradually increase and decrease speed in one smooth, seamless motion. Your thumb never leaves the speed control, ensuring quick response times and smooth actions for zooming in and out. Simply push to the left of the rocker to zoom out (wide) or to the right to zoom in (telephoto), eliminating any camera shaking or time lost fumbling for the right button. The device also features a low-profile record button ("R") to avoid accidental activation, and a separate, intuitive rocker focus control for smooth, ergonomic operation. You can easily move your thumb forward to focus near or shift it back to focus far. This unique design ensures that the rocker control does not share zoom and focus functions, providing quicker response times and eliminating the need to switch back and forth between shared controls. The VZ-Rock also respects your camera's safety features, including the Wake up from standby button ("ON"). This feature prevents damage to your camera's tape heads and the tape itself by disengaging the tape from the spinning recording heads when the camera is in pause mode. The VZ-Rock also introduces new extra features, including Shuttle Search Control. With the Frame Forward (F+) and Frame Reverse (F-) shuttle buttons, you can surf through your tape one frame at a time or jog through your tape by pressing and holding the button down. The On-Screen Data Control allows you to turn your on-screen data in your viewfinder on and off, much like your camcorder's "display" button. Lastly, the Auto Focus (A) feature lets you switch your focus control from auto focus to manual and back again with ease. In summary, the VZ-Rock Miniature Full-Featured Variable Rocker Control for DV Camcorders with LANC Jack, complete with a VariZoom 20" Cable for LANC and Panasonic DVX Controllers, offers unparalleled control, precision, and safety features for your videography needs.

Great addition to tripod mounted AG-CS350

VariZoom VZ-Rock Miniature Full-Featured Variable Rocker Control

We set things up for our church to have services via the internet while in quarantine and needed something better than using the onboard camera zoom as it was a bit jerky and difficult to control. This was recommended by a friend and it works fantastic. Will definitely buy again if we need another control.

VariZoom VZ-Rock Miniature works great

Easy to control, with all you need in your finger.

Nice control

The VariZoom VZ Rock is perhaps the best LANC controller on the market for the price.  Yes, it may seem a little expensive at first in comparison to other companies/models, but this is one of the few in this price range with a true variable speed zoom control.  If you are already used to using the variable control on your camera, the VZ Rock will feel right at home to you.  There is virtually no difference between this control and the one on your camera.  Also, this would be a great addition for cameras like the Canon GL1 or other prosumer cameras that have small rocker switches that don't allow for much variable control.

In my particular case, I use the VZ Rock on a camera crane - primarily for live production.  The two things I love about having the VZ Rock is it gives me the ability to vary the speed of the zoom even during a shot.  Also, it makes it much easier to quickly zoom in or zoom out to set your next shot.  With many LANC controllers, you have a set speed, and it can be really difficult to reset shots and then get your speed reset - especially in live production.  With the VZ Rock, you can change shot composition in literally seconds.

Also, the VZ Rock fits nicely on a tripod handle, and it would work great if used for a studio zoom controller, or any other situation where the camera person cannot comfortably access the on-camera controls.  

Finally, the biggest bonus on the VZ Rock is the additional controls beyond the zoom.  The auto focus toggle is one of the best features I have seen on a LANC controller allowing you to quickly and easily change your camera from auto to manual focus.  The focus rocker switch allows for mid-range rack focuses, and the addition of the record button and tape search buttons are just extras that make the VZ Rock a bargain.

Great Product for the Price

This is a great product.  I use it for my Sony A1u and Sony PD150/170s.  I also own a sony version with a built in handle.
This product is very usable and can attach to just about anything...ie tripod handle or shoulder mounted unit.
