About VariZoom Stealth Zoom

Take your videography skills to the next level with the Stealth Zoom Lens Control for all Mini DV Camcorders with a LANC Jack. This compact and high-quality device offers a unique variable speed zoom thumb control, allowing you to execute the slowest crawl or ramp up speed, all in one smooth, seamless motion.

Designed for easy use, this versatile tool ensures your thumb never leaves the speed control, providing quick response time and smooth actions to zoom in or out. Simply push forward to zoom in (telephoto) and pull back to zoom out (wide), eliminating camera shake or time lost fumbling to find the right button.

The Stealth Zoom Lens Control also features an intuitive rocker focus control, offering smooth ergonomic control. Place your thumb in the center of the rocker and move it forward to focus near or shift it back to focus far.

One of the standout features of this durable lens control is the 'Wake up from Standby' button. This respects the safety feature created by your camera manufacturer to protect your camera and tape from damage. When your camera is in pause mode, the tape is still engaged with the spinning recording heads. The standby safety mode disengages the tape from the recording heads, preventing wear and tear on your camera and tape.

Used by professionals like National Geographic on their wildlife shoots, this lens control allows you to wait for hours with the camera in standby mode. When you're ready to shoot again, simply press the 'wake up from stand-by button', and the tape re-engages the recording heads, remaining in pause until the record button is pushed.

Experience the difference in your videography with the Stealth Zoom Lens Control for all Mini DV Camcorders with a LANC Jack, the perfect tool for capturing high-quality, precise shots.
