Oil Pressure Control Switch

They are used on Sony DSR PD170 camcorders. The switch is pressure sensitive which allows you to manually control the zoom. I really cant say anything negative. They are exactly what we needed for a reasonable price.

I bought this hazer as an Upgrade from a Martin JEM Hazer Pro.  That unit was so cloudy, wouldnt spread thin, and looked more like fog than haze.  So.... I made the switch to this unit. I was ready for the switch oil based haze, but I was stoked to find out this unit would use water OR oil based Antari fluids.  This machine is awesome. No more clouds, no more thickness... and it hangs FOREVER!  My favorite part, is you can hardly see it at all when normal house lights are on... but man does it illuminate beams and spots! It is super quiet, and my favorite part... NO WARM UP TIME!  I do have 2 complaint....but they are minor.  1.) The DMX control has no volume adjustment. It is either on... or off.  2.) The output nozzle shoots directly up... not out or to the side... so be ready to have your fan setup on standby.

These were the best things I found to organize my wire from my light to my pressure switch, would highly recommend these.

The remote pressure switch works very well and looks great! B&H is great to work with and delivered promptly.

OIL the ring so you can get it off ..!

Works very well. The variable pressure zoom is perfect, and it has a switch for s - Sony and p - Panasonic, which are the 2 video cameras I have, and the switch works as expected. The record button works fine, but you do need to push it for a millisecond. If you hit it for a short time, it may not start recording. This may be the camera though, just something to be aware of. Overall, really great for simple remote zoom and great cost.

When you switch lenses under pressure, you don't want to waste time trying to also switch the filters from the old lens to the new one. This is even more important if you drop the filter, smudge the filter, sneeze on the filter, etc, etc. You can save a lot of grief by investing in enough of the Tiffen 812 filters to avoid this possible mini-disaster. I bought a couple of these filters when I was choosing the lenses I would use for a wedding shoot. It was wise to choose the industry standard in a warming filter. The Tiffen 812 is amazing in flattering flesh tones.

I find the earcups very comfortable with even pressure all the way around -- especially making good contact below the ear. The sound quality is excellent for listening to acoustic and acappella music. There's no audio delay like you get with Bluetooth. The volume roller is so much easier and faster to use than buttons and is located exactly where my hand expects to find it. The on/off switch has just the right amount of delay -- long enough so I don't accidentally switch it, and fast enough so it's not annoying. Works out of the box on Windows 10. They even include instructions for how to remove the battery for recyling (which -- more importantly -- means I can replace the battery!) My only complaint so far is that I can't turn off the LEDs without installing their gHub software. But once they're out of warranty I may just fix that with a soldering iron... I'll be using these for all of my daily on-line meetings, and for listening to music.

I have used this unit 2 times to record 2 ice skating shows. It screwed into my Manfrotto tripod with ease. Plugged it into my Sony HXR-NX3 the lights came on and in a few seconds it was ready to use. The speed adjustment for the zoom control on the unit works very well. Using a little pressure on the thumb control a slow zoom or more pressure a faster zoom. It didn't take long to feel comfortable using this control. I really like it for this fast pasted video work.

The Intuos provides infinitely more control than a trackpad or mouse during retouching in Photoshop. The additional pressure sensitivity levels of this updated model are noticeable, and the updated, refined design and solid construction are pleasures.
