HMC 40 Remote?

[Chad N]

Hey all, i'm looking for a camera remote that would allow me to zoom, focus, etc without having to touch the actual camera.

Just looking for any suggestions. A decent one that doesn't cost too much. Just a somewhat ambitious You Tube video maker, nothing pro here.

I use this with my HMC40 to control zoom and start/stop.

Any remote that says it's compatible with the DVX100B, HVX200, HPX170, or HMC150 will work...

Yeah- I picked one up off of the bay for about half price...

That Libec is great (I have one), but it doesn't control focus.

The Bebob Zoe or one of the Varizooms will; or you could use two controllers, one for focus and one for zoom, which some people like. Manfrotto have a standalone focus/iris remote for Panasonics. You can then mount zoom on one pan handle on the tripod, and add a second pan handle for focus/iris if you like.
