| The ProZoom™
2
Digital Zoom Controller is a professional zoom controller
(also known as a LANC Controller or LANC Controls), that has been
professionally engineered and microprocessor built to provide you with a precision
(zoom controller) camera remote
and the ability to achieve super smooth zoom speeds every time. No more
having to reach around your camera to zoom in or out, or to change the focus
or to stop or start the video taping. Simply plug the zoom controller
into the LANC jack that is found on most Canon and Sony video cameras and
you are ready to take control of you camera.
The ProZoom™ 2
zoom controller offers you a
numeric zoom speed indicator,
so you don't have to guess at what zoom speed you are set for. Since you'll
know precisely what zoom speed you are set for, it's easy to remember
your favorite speed settings. If you are using a shot log, the ProZoom™ digital zoom controller gives you the zoom speed readout to record
for that shot.
The zoom controller features silent push button controls are laid out
in a logically manner, with the most commonly used zoom in/out buttons placed
closest to your thumb.
With the ProZoom™ 2 zoom
controller you'll have the ability to control the zoom
in/out function, the zoom speed, the camera's focus, record/pause and you'll
have the ability to power the camera up or down, allowing you to save on
battery power. Plus, we provide two LED's so you'll know
the status of your camera at all times. One LED indicates if the
camera is powered on and the other to indicate when you are recording.
The ProZoom™ 2
Digital Zoom Controller can be securely mounted
to your tripod arm,
jib arm or most
camera shoulder braces.
Installation is simple, just plug the
ProZoom™ 2 zoom controller into the LANC or Control-L jack on your video
camera and you're ready to use
your digital zoom controller.
Unlike others, we
didn't skimp on quality when building our zoom controller. Our zoom controller
is built using only professional grade
components, along with heavy duty switches, to give you years of
reliability.

Customer Comments:
"Having been using the
ProZoom zoom controller for the last few months and I had to write to
tell you what a great product this is. I am working on a
documentary shooting with the Sony Z1U and need a rock solid zoom
controller. After looking around I went with your zoom controller
and have been very pleased. I really like the sloped panel design,
it allows easy access to the controls. I am looking forward to
doing business with you again in the near future."
Tony Sutherland, Seattle WA
"Anyone who wants real professional controls for
their camera needs to get the Digital Zoom Controller. I just
finished writing an article for a e-zine about camera accessories and I
want to thank you for having the design intelligence as to put the zoom
buttons as the first buttons your thumb hits. The way you adjust
the zoom speed, with the speed indicator is absolutely brilliant. The
push buttons controls are quiet and solid. I really am impressed
with the zoom controller. I will be sure to recommend it to others."
Martin T Beal, Austin, Tx
"I was shopping around for a zoom controller and I ended
up buying a cheap zoom controller, boy was I disappointed. Then I
saw your Digital Zoom Controller in Videomaker magazine and decide to
give it a try. Your zoom controller is prefect! I really
like the numbered zoom speed switch and how with a push of a button I
can go from the slowest speed to the fastest zoom speed if I need to.
I have found this feature indispensable. I also like how the zoom
speed locks in, so you can't accidentally change the speed. while you
are zooming. The push buttons have a good solid feel to them and
it mounts solidly on the tripod arm. As a side note, I just got in
your Mini-DV Shoulder Brace and XLR-BP Pro. The zoom controller
fits nicely on the shoulder brace and it a nice addition. After
testing out the XLR-BP Pro, I am equally pleased with it. It is
well made, with the placement of the controls and switches are
well thought out. The sound quality is great, with no noise.
I highly recommend your products to anyone who is serious about
videography." Warren Butler, Internet Email
"I love the Digital Zoom Controller! It makes
shooting from a tripod so much easier. I really like being able to
power up and down the camera when I need to, as this saves wear and tear on
the video heads, tape and it saves on the battery life. I like the
sloped panel design and the button size and layout couldn't be better.
Thanks for a great product." Michelle Lipco, Dallas, TX
"I am very impressed with your Digital Zoom Controller.
I own a Sony VX-2000 and a Canon GL-1 and it works great with both
cameras. I found that having the controls on a slope makes it so
much easier to reach the control buttons. Another thing I want to
thank you for is using buttons that are just the right size. I've
tried another brand controller and the buttons are so small that is makes
it hard to operate. Once again, thanks for a fine product."
Donald C Williams, Seattle, Wa.
"The Digital Zoom
Controller is an AWESOME product!! We are using it in replace of a
more expensive controller that we have. The controls are better
placed and easier to operate. I really like the fact that the zoom
speeds are fixed. We had too many problems with other controller, we
found it was too easy to accidentally bump the controls and change the
zoom speed in the middle of a shot. Thanks for a great zoom
controller and at a great price too." Michael Stanfield, Los
Angeles, CA "Now that I own 3 of your Digital Zoom
Controllers, I wanted to let you know how please I am with them. I
am using them on two Canon XL-1s and a GL-1, they work perfectly. It
was nice to see that they are well built and the button placement if
perfect. " TJ Sutter, Internet
"This past week we have been
working on a documentary for PBS. We shot it using 4 of the Sony
PD-150's and we used two of your DZC controllers to control the cameras
that were mounted on a tripod and a jib arm. The controllers
mounted nicely on our tripods and jib. We found the controls where
easy to reach with our thumbs and they were comfortable to use. With
that said, I would like to order 2 more DZC Zoom controllers. I
will definitely recommend your zoom controller to others." Paul
Whiting, GBC Inc.
"Just dropping you a line and letting you know that I am
very pleased with my Zoom Controller. I have it mounted the Mini DV
Shoulder brace that I got from you. It makes the camera so much
easier to operate. I've also used it to operate a remote camera.
You were correct, there was no problem running 100 ft of LANC cable with
your Zoom Controller. I will be contacting you shortly to get
another one, so I can leave it permanently mounted on the shoulder brace.
Keep up the great work." Jose Martinez, Miami, FL |
