Is it possiible to lock the zoom and focus settings

[mentatDUKE]

Hi guys. I have my zoom and focus settings set to where i like them. However, when i move around, they often inadvertently change. Is there a way to lock these settings so that bumping the camera during run and gun shooting wont change things? Thanks

yes....its called gaffers tape......thats the only way I know of

Yes, tape works surprisingly well. Turn the servo off and tape down the two rings. The mini35 has a shroud around the focus ring, but, unfortunately, not everyone can afford a mini35.

Off? Actually, to stop the zoom from getting bumped after I set it, I turn the servo *on*.

Doh. I was hoping nobody would mention tape. i hate the sticky residue tape leaves on electronic equipment. makes me feel.... dirty. but alas, perhaps tape it is. thanks for the answers

Use gaffer's tape...no/low residue. If you can't get it, try painter's masking tape (probably blue). Also low residue.
