FS7: LANC with IRIS/F-stop control?
- Thread starter jpham
- Start date
I assume you meant "a LANC controller". I posted a very similar question last week... zero answers so far. Also posted in the Sony forums, only crickets.
They sure do - the RM-30BP. I've been on a quest and still haven't found a single person in the US that owns one. Acebil makes the RM-S1 and RM-C1 which have dedicated iris knobs. They said "the RM-S1 will work flawlessly with the Sony's" but they're not sure about the C1. Anyway I'll believe it when I'll see it, trying to get an eval unit from them.
While the RM-30BP can be mounted on a tripod handle, it may be overkill for what you seek.
The Varizoom VZROCK can control iris "with certain compatible cameras", but Varizoom told me that the FS5/7 are not. I still hope it was just misinformation, was hoping to track down an owner to find out.
Finally, most people just mount the handgrip, since it's a great remote control that's fully compatible. I don't have an FS7 with me, but I believe you can easily map one of the user buttons to the iris and then adjust it with the joystick. Others should be able to chime in on that.
