HPX250: Remote Controllers for HPX250

I use the http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/290856-REG/Manfrotto_522P_522P_Camera_Remote_Control.html Manfrotto 522P zoom controller, which for me is the best of the bunch. It is great in manual mode, but it has an electronic preset mode that limits speed ranges. The Bebob controller is OK, but the varizoom is jerky and hard to control.
Also the Manfrotto 521pfi is great for focus/ irus. It has an auto/manual focus switch that eliminates the need for the on camera switch, which some folks find hard to use.

Thanks,

I'll take a look at those.
 
If the HPX250 has a servo-driven zoom it is doubtful that you can get a slower zoom speed than what can be set on the cam. In other words you could not get a slower speed with a controller. At least that was the case on the HPX170.
 
I have both bebob controllers. One of the reasons I switched from HVX to HPX. They both work fine for me. The bebob zoom can be controlled by the rocker and you can go very slow.....slow enough for me.
