DIY DVX100 Zoom Control with Record Start/stop

Has anyone seen this?

I found it here:

http://www.homebuiltstabilizers.com/greytipsDIY.htm

But it's on dvxuser.com! Why isn't it in the Articles section?

Did it get removed for some reason? I want to build one, but if it was found that this is a dangerous or harmful toy... Well, I don't think I have to finish that sentence.
Any thoughts? It looks great to me.

Wow! That's an old one, right Jarred?

Articles section is missing quite a few articles. That one, the Cavision 4x4 MB review and something else I can't remember right now... Fillters DVD? Probably more.

I already built that device by following the maker's instructions. Its works great! Make sure you properly insulate the wires though, especially at the mini plug portion so you don't get shorted.

Go ahead and build it! its a useful accessory, for me its better than using the infrared remote.

Sweet. I did it. It works great. I ended up using a 50k pot switch, but it works fine. (It's really sensitive, but for slow, steady zooms, it's perfect.) Just what I needed!
