Martin Highstream Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi all, i need some advice on zoom/ focus controllers (steadicam mounted) what do you use? does it work well? Around here most of the operators use(d) bebob zoe, wich i intended to buy, but, as you might know they bebob stopped making them, and i cant find any at all for sale. I've heard that G-Zoom makes good quality zoom/focus units but i've been hesitant to buy one since they cost about 3x as much as the zoe did, want to hear your thoughts!

Randy Gomez Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I have used the Stanton Zoom/Focus controller for many years and it’s very popular in the LIVE TV world. Comes with a Canon gear only. Fuji and Cine gear sold separately. They also sell a rod mounted motor with inserts that works with this system. https://www.jimmyjib.com/product/EA-112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
