Hello, I have a Jib Crane that's 14ft long. The brand is called ProAim. I was having trouble finding out if there's any Jib Crane Controllers I can buy to replace my current one. The one I have at the moment only allows me to maneuver the camera, but doesn't allow me to zoom in or out.

Does anyone have any suggestions or anything to point me in a good direction?

Thank you.

What camera are you using?
 
Yeah, you're talking two different things - the panning isn't a camera function, the zooming is.

I have a big Panasonic camera and use the manfrotto controller for focus/iris and a home made zoom and trigger box, works fine, just got an extension cable and an 8' HDMI for moinitoring.

For DSLRs, you pretty much have to work it all from the business end, though some cameras like the NX1 have phone apps to control the camera.

For a very basic controller for you camera, inexpensive and probably easy to find used on ebay or maybe here in the for sale section. Did you buy the Pro Aim with the pan tilt head? The VariZoom above is a much better controller but more expensive but if you are going to be doing compound moves along with zooms it might be the best choice.
