VariZoom Mini 8-Pin Compact Rocker Zoom Controller for Canon Video Cameras

Explore the power and precision of VariZoom's VZ-Rock, a Mini 8-Pin Compact Rocker Zoom Controller designed specifically for Canon video cameras. Despite its compact and lightweight design, this controller delivers exceptional performance, making it an essential tool for videographers and photographers alike.

Constructed with VariZoom's proprietary TAL technology, this controller exemplifies the highest degree of craftsmanship. It offers a high-quality, economical alternative to VariZoom's Pro-L and PG-L professional line of controls. Whether you're a professional filmmaker or a photography enthusiast, the VZ-Rock series and VZ-Stealth series are indispensable when affordability and compact size are key considerations.

Designed to fit almost any tripod, camera support, or stabilizer, the VZ-Rock is equipped with a range of extra features. These include a Data Control Button, Jog Forward/Backward Buttons, and an Auto Focus Button.

One of its unique features is a variable speed rocker control. This allows users to maintain the slowest crawl or gradually increase and decrease speed in one smooth motion. With your thumb always on the speed control, you can quickly and smoothly zoom in or out. Simply push to the right to zoom in (telephoto) and push to the left to zoom out (wide).

The controller also features a low-profile record button ("R") to prevent accidental activation, and a Wake Up from Standby button ("ON"). This respects your camera's safety feature, designed to protect your camera's tape heads and tape. When in pause mode, the tape is still engaged with the spinning recording heads of the camera. The standby safety mode activates the tape transport to disengage the tape from the recording heads, preventing wear and tear on your camera and tape.

Used by National Geographic on their wildlife shoots, the VZ-Rock is a testament to its reliability and performance. With the press of the "wake up from stand-by button", the tape re-engages the recording heads and remains in pause until the record button is pushed.

Experience the convenience, versatility, and durability of the VariZoom's VZ-Rock, the Mini 8-Pin Compact Rocker Zoom Controller for Canon video cameras.
