Zoom & Focus Control for HMC150

[HakkiOcal]

I checked out the web sites of almost all video-photo stores and manufacturers for a zoom and focus control attachment. There are nice models out there... But none is marked as compatible with AG-HMC150, per-se!

When it comes to such things, what Panasonic model is HMC150 considered compatible with?

Thanks

The HMC has the same protocol as the DVX, HVX, and HPX. I'm using my Zoe zoom control from my old DVX on my HMC with no issues

you can set min and max focus points for rack focusing, and controll the iris

So brace yourselves!

The varizoom controller is pretty nice and cheap. Focus and zoom built in. Seperate units are nice, but you'll spend quite a bit more.

Which one do you have in mind:

And, thanks for the response.

This is the one I have. Works pretty well and you can feather your zooms nicely

Does it help with rack focus?

The "wheel" (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...aging_521PFI_521PFI_Focus_Remote_Control.html) as in the old systems seems better to me. I need to know how these two systems compare?

Thanks.
