Amazon.com Built to last a lifetime, the Pro-L is VariZoom's most durable and reliable lens control. The unit is distinguished by an aluminum housing, isolated circuit board, and industrial components, making it extremely durable. The patented design also employs a rocker and speed dial for "ramping," or presetting, zoom speeds with flawless, full-range precision. And photographers can rest assured that they're getting a reliable product, as VariZoom has been refining and improving the Pro-L for several production generations (it's the company's longest produced LANC control). Wielded by such organizations as CNN, C-SPAN, the National Geographic Society, and Nickelodeon, VariZoom's lens controls offer the widest array of functions in the industry.

A true variable speed and manual focus controller, the VZ-Pro-L utilizes the Control-L (LANC) remote jack to control almost any DV camcorder including the Canon XL1, Sony VX-1000 and many others. Now for the first time, owners of these camcorders can use jib arms and tripods, having the same type of remote lens control found on professional broadcast cameras costing thousands more. The combination zoom rocker and speed control dial allows you to vary speeds in a single movement -- smoothly from a slow crawl to fast and then slow again. Also features manual focus control, a "wake-up from standby" switch, a recording light indicator, and a universal tripod/crane mounting clamp.What it's for...The newly redesigned VZ-Pro-L is the original industrial grade workhorse designed specifically for the popular LANC-ready "prosumer" one piece DV camcorders, including the Sony DSR-200A, VX-1000, VX-2000, TRV-900, PD-150, PD-100A; and Canon's XL1, GL1, Optura and Elura (with docking station).How it works...The VZ-Pro-L sends zoom, focus and other commands through the camcorder's built-in LANC protocol, which is standard in most every DV camcorder on the market today.Where it connects...Just plug the controller cable into your camcorder's Control-L (LANC) jack.
