Varizoom lens control

After trying different zoom controllers from Manfrotto and Fujinon for my HPX370,
I decided to try Varizoom. I could not be more pleased. IMHO the Varizoom zoom
controller allows smoother more accurate control, I was so impressed with the zoom
controller I ordered the Rear Focusing Control and I was not disappointed. Now I can
control the zoom and focus from behind the camera. I have found that I eliminated
camera shake when I focus or zoom the lens, this is especially noticeable zoomed way out.

Nice setup. I recently got a Libec ZC-9Pro as I needed something more compact and less expensive than the Varizoom, and it works very well.

Scott,

Please post the model number of the FOCUS CONTROLLER that fit that stock lens.

Thanks,
Bill
 
Bill, I was unsure which lens controller to use also. I called Varizoom they were very helpful. Turns out it depends on the
location of the threaded screw hole in your lens. Have your lens handy and give the good people at Varizoom a call
and they will answer your question in no time. I wish I could remember the differences but I've slept since then.
Varizoom's number: 1.888.826.3399 or 1.512.219.7722, 8:00 to 4:30 CDT. Hope this helps. Scott
