The variable speed Rocker Zoom thumb control allows you to maintain the slowest crawl or gradually increase and decrease speed in one smooth, seamless motion. You can zoom in and out without removing your thumb from the control, ensuring quick response times and smooth actions.
Having separate controls for zoom and focus is essential for quick active response times. It eliminates the need to switch back and forth between shared controls, allowing for smoother operation and better control over your footage.

The VZ-Rock introduces Shuttle Search Control, which allows you to 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 lets you turn your on-screen data in your viewfinder on and off. Lastly, the Auto Focus feature lets you switch your focus control from auto focus to manual and back again.

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.

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.
