ZC-LP Zoom Controller for LANC/Panasonic Video Camera Black

There are plenty of very similar looking devices at much lower cost. But also many reviews for those that complain that they only provide stepped zoom speeds. This one enables very smooth zooms from incredibly slow to fast. My one complaint that there is a large 'dead' area in the centre of the movement. i.e. the zoom rocker has to be rotated many degrees in either direction before it starts to do anything. So it is hard to go from a static shot into a very slow zoom. But the rocker on the camera itself has the same problem. So maybe this fault is with the camera design rather than this accessory.

Great product does what it should and makes shooting a lot smoother
