Need remote focus and monitor...

[GND]

As the thread title says,
I'm in need of a remote focus/iris controller and wireless monitor for use with the HVX200,

The camera will be high on a jib and other spots an operator would not be able to get to focus manually, also we would not be able to see the LCD on camera, so we'd need another monitor for use 10 feet or so down below.

battery powered / non-wired monitor is ideal, so the director could be close to the actors with it, while the camera operator is yards away doing the "zoom all the way in to get shallower DOF" with the stock HVX lens.

thanks!

edit > found something called a foxi line, and then this: http://www.varizoom.com/controlsindex.html
but not sure where to rent (or buy...though preferably rent, since only need it for a couple days).

Would any portable CRT monitor work with the HVX (Like these: http://www.budgetvideo.com/catalog.php?sub=44a85442be4dc)

i have both the bebob foxi (focus+iris) and the zoe dvxl (zoom) and i like them fine. i have those and a long LONG extension cable with jacks for each.

i think zacuto sells them. as may fullcompass, spec-comm, or abel cinetech

as far as monitors go. if all youre concerned with is framing and focus, you can use just about any cheapo consumer HDTV.
but if you care about color accuracy then you will need to drop about a grand minimum.
at right at $1000 the smallHD dp1 is a pretty good option. i have one i use with my jib and it competes well with models costing much more.

Thanks, I'll look into the bebob foxi...
As for the monitor, it is just needed for composition and focus. How would a cheap prosumer HDTV connect to the HVX without the use of extension cables?

Would any monitor from the link on budget video's site fit the bill?


EDIT > looked up the bebob foxi, looks good however a tad expensive to purchase it for what we need it for (only a day or two) - places that are in toronto, or that ship worldwide would be ideal. I've seen a couple places but they were states only.
Or....would this "Panasonic AJ-EC3 Paintbox" work? I've seen them for rent, though through my research I can't find out of they work on the HVX, I see other
panasonic camera models listed only.
