The Zoe-dvxl is a universal zoom control for all mini-DV and HDVcamcorders. You can operate the Zoe-dvxl via the LanC input socket used by SONYand Canon, or with the CamRemote connection used on Panasonic DVX and HVX camcorders. At the bottom of the Zoe-dvxl is the selector switch for the respective camera types. L = LanC, X = Panasonic only. The rugged elbow plug gives you two advantages: The cable goes along the camera, therefore looking better than being at a 90° angle from the housing of the camera. If you pull the cable unintentionally, it will not bend the plug The coiled cable has a total length of 90 cm when it is pulled out, which is more than enough between pan arm and camera. If you pull the cable unintentionally, the coiled cable avoids damaging the plug into the camera. The shape of the housing protects the speed wheel and avoids accidental repositioning of the pre-adjustment. DVL-Mode : MSR ® Maximum zoom speed adjustment. With this function, you can limit the maximum speed of the zoom without losing the progressiveness of the rocker switch. It allows for pre-adjustment of the zoom speed and sensitivity. The On/Off button remotely operates the main switch on the camera. A green LED informs the user if the camera is switched on or off. DVX and DVL-Modes : The record button in the middle of Zoe-dvxl remotely controls the record function of the camera. When the camera is recording, the red LED is lit. The surface of this button is different than the other two, allowing the user to recognise it with finger tips. DVL-Mode : The focus functions are the same as on the previous version of Zoe: a double click switches between "manual" and "auto-focus". A single click changes the rocker to "zoom" and "focus". A continuous click activates the "push-auto function". The quick-release clamp facilitates attachment to standard tripod arms up to 34mm in diameter. Also you can fix the Zoe onto the camera handle. The ergonomically contoured shape of the rocker switch allows you to put your thumb at three different places: middle, right or left. In any position, you will find a position for your thumb where you can use the Zoe in a comfort and operating ease way. Zoe-dvxl is available for all SONY + CANON Camcorder with LanC connection and Panasonic AG-DVC30, AG-DVX80, AG-DVX100, AG-DVX100AE, AG-DVX100B + HVX200.
