Remote for EX1

[Lor]

I need a remote to control the record/zoom/focus on my EX1. What are some of better ones out there?

I like the look of this one. I'm not sure if this one will work on the EX1. In addition, it looks quite pricy for me. Does anyone has this control? Is it too bulky?

Has anyone use this one?

I have used this remote (Manfrotto) and it works very well - have one on my tripod and also one mounted to my shoulder mount rig. Has a much smoother zoom than the camera. None of these remotes will focus however. It can't be done with this type of remote.

Are you referring to this one:

Yep! Carl

PS: There's a round female pin connector in the handle of the grip designed for Sony's expensive professional remote controllers -- some of the guys on this site should know the model names that work with the EX-!

Thanks, Carl.

Glad to announce that I just put an order for this lens remote control. I hope I will not regret it.

Let me know how it works, ARF! -- gromet

I have heard raves about the Libec ZC-9EX Zoom Control. It's supposed to get a very slow & controlled zoom without stuttering like the bogen stuff does: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/539465-REG/Libec_ZC_9EX_ZC_9EX_Zoom_Control_PMW_EX1.html

Here's the thread that talks about it:

Halfway down the first page there is a video example embedded into the thread.
