Verizoom rockers?

[Macfionn]

Does anyone know with certainty if the verizoom rockers (ROCK-DVX-ZFI) shown on panasonics HMC40 accessory page actually works with the HMC40?

I only ask, because other sites show this item and the cameras that it works for, and the HMC40 isn't on anyone's list.

I'm thinking of getting one to mount on a Halo rig (a "FigRig" knockoff).

Here is a link to the HMC40 accessory page

Here is a quick link to the rocker

Well, I have a set of Varizoom rockers (same thing you see there in two pieces, one for zoom and start/stop record, and one for focus/iris) made by the same company, and they work just fine.

Incidentally, they cost less than that (for both), and if using a fig rig, you might want separate controllers on each hand...or not... up to you. I just scooped up the functionality at a lower price.

Thanks for the insight, V3. My 'figrig' will be loaded!
Adding a 7" TFT LCD monitor to it as well!

I think I blew my $2000 budget all to hell! I don't recall who said a few weeks back that buying this camera was akin to opening Pandora's Box as you will suddenly want every add-on available, but DAMN they weren't kidding!!

I have more Mics being eyeballed, these verizoom rockers, a good light source...
If my GF ever sees how much I spent in 'reality', I may have to pawn the damn thing for a new place to live!!

as a collector of fine hobbies in all fields... Any hobby will cost you a minimum of $2000 to pursue.

If you want to take up origami, I promise that somehow, somewhere, it will set you back two grand (at least), no matter how cheap it looks on the surface.

I found that pair on Ebay for 159 as a set...I don't have the listing because they turned out to be from a local business, and I walked in to save shipping.

If you're in greater Austin, TX, it was Omega Video.

Ain't that the truth... and it never stops! Love to see some pics of the loaded rig when you get it done...
