Which zoom control for my 100bs?

[Ian Slessor]

Hey gang,

I'm hoping you all can help me out.

I'm ordering two DVX 100b Pannys this weekend and I can't decide between the Varizoom VZ-Rock-PZFI with the rocker controller or the Varizoom Stealth with the throttle type controller.

I'm hoping somebody on this board has had experience with both and can assist me in deciding which gives better, smoother zooming.

Anyone?

Thanks.

sincerely,

ian

I've heard good things about the libec and for $100 its a steal... then run focus and iris control from varizoom on another stick and u've got full control in both hands for $300

I have the Stealth PZFI and I LOVE it. I stick the zoom nub under my thumb knuckle and can reach the focus and iris controls with the tip of my thumb. I tried the rock and it was uncomfortable having to move from zoom to the other controls. Also, the forward/back of the stealth works well for me. If you can, try them both and see what feels best.

Well, I went with the rocker as opposed to the throttle zoom.

I'm liking it.

Good control and on a tripod I have no problem panning, tilting, zooming and controlling iris and focus with my left hand .

sincerely,
