Q: 5. Will this work on Panasonic DVX200?

A: No, this will not.

Q: 6. I am using this w/ Panasonic AG-AC130AP. The problem: uncommanded zoom. That is, when I zoom in from zero to 50, then stop, the controller continues to zoom in until 99 or I keep slight zoom out pressure on the rocker. Has anyone else experienced this and what was the fix?

A: Hey Andy, et al.... I found a fix that restores the rocker to proper function and it takes all of three minutes. This is a known issue to Vari-Zoom and they have posted a video on YouTube. Search for Instructional VZ-ROCK Control How to Recalibrate. You will need a 2mm (or 5/64 ) hex wrench and a small flat head screw driver. Do it and be rewarded by more aggravating zoom creep!

Q: 7. Will this work with the sigma cine zooms 18-35mm and 55-100mm?

A: Sorry, but the requisite hole is not present on these lenses. Indeed there appears not any room on the zoom ring for one. You might consider these classic solutions. They work like a charm. ikan Elements Plus Zoom Control Lever (15mm) B&H # IKELEPZCL or Chrosziel AC-102-13 DSLR Fluid Zoom Drive B&H # CHFZD.

Q: 8. operating distance?

A: We were not able to confirm, but it is our opinion that this high quality unit should be able to do about 300' line of sight. Any interference cuts that distance of course. In most production settings, the camera assistant doesn't want to be too far away from the camera anyway. So in common movie set situations, we think it should work very well, even around walls, say 10-30 feet from the camera. This should work whether the camera is on a tripod, dolly, Steadicam, crane or even a really big drone.

Q: 9. Anyone know if this works on Sony FS700 with stock lens (18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 PZ OSS)?

A: Sorry, but the FS700 cannot use any remote zoom controls. The only zoom control options are the control on the lens or the rocker switch on the right side of the camera body.

Q: 10. Doess it compatible with Canon can -e 15.5-60 t/2.6 lens and lomo 37-120 f/3.5 lens

A: All zoom sticks like this have a M5 thread and they fit all professional cine zooms that that have zoom stick threads. That includes the Canon CN-E 14.5-60mm T2.6 L S Cinema Zoom Lens with EF Mount B&H # CAE14560EF and the LOMO FOTON-A ANAMORPHIC ZOOM 37-140mm f/3.5 Lens.
