Need long remote cable for HMC150 on 12' crane?

[david_p]

hi,

im about ready to get the 12' Kessler crane and im wondering what people use to control the camera from operating position. i currently have the Varizoom thumb controller for zooming, start & stopping. is there an extenter cable for my existing controller or anything else that will work? ill eventually get the Oracle motorized head as well.

any suggestions?

thanks
david

If you have the Varizoom PZFI, you want this:

-or this:

There is a 50 foot version as well. Those'll give you the capabilities you need!

No problemo! We use the 10' one for our crane at work with the Varizoom VZRockPZFI + HVX200.... it's the same model that's compatible with your HMC150, so it should work just as well, which is to say it works reliably!

Happy shooting,
Jason
