Description
Zoom Control – The RL100 Lanc lens camera zoom control offers a smooth wide-sweep rocker for excellent control over variable-speed zoom on any camera equipped with a LANC Remote port. The ability to zoom from the tripod handle improves the operator’s ability to seamlessly and smoothly capture images, and the RL100 offers reliable, precise control for a great price. The RL100 also features a record button and LED indicator light that glows when your camera is in record mode and flashes when your battery is low. It fits on just about any tripod handle, shoulder rig, or jib and it can be extended with our 10, 20, 50 or 100 foot cables.
This is one of our most popular controls due to its simplicity, great price and reliable reputation. The VZRL100 benefits from our 20 years of experience building zoom controls and cuts no corners in quality, as it contains the same basic electronic structure as our more expensive units, but at a much lower price. The VZRL100 is also available as a kit with our popular VZTK75A tripod. Whether you’re mounting the controller to a tripod, shoulder support, jib, camera tower, or other device, the RL100 gives you the freedom to remotely control the camera when it is out of reach. Includes VariZoom’s no-hassle 2 year warranty and the peace of mind that comes with owning a controller from the industry leader.
Question
Gordon –
Does this work with any of the canon consumer video cameras like the VIXIA HF R700? I know it has a port but I’m not sure it is capable of taking zoom controls through it

Hi Gordon,
Canon does not include the necessary remote port on the HF R700 to allow connection with our controller.
Thanks,
Tom

Will this work with a Panasonic G9?

The G9 does not appear to have to necessary port for our zoom controls. The 2.5mm port on the G9 seems to be only for shutter release in still mode – DMW-RSL1 is the shutter release model.
Thanks,
Tom

Will this work with the Panasonic 4K Ultra HD Video Camera Camcorder HC-VX981K?

Tom Smith –
Unfortunately it will not work, as the HC-VX981K does not have the necessary remote port. I don’t believe there is a remote zoom control available for this camera.
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Chris,
I did some web hunting and I couldn’t really find any useful info. Even in the user manual it doesn’t tell you much. By any chance does your camera have a LANC port to test the controller? Also, when you plug it into the Atomos unit, does the LED light blink or do anything?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Nick,
Unfortunately it is not compatible. In order to use our controllers, the camera must have the 2.5mm remote jack.
Thanks,
Tom

Bob Bailey, President, Trans Global Productions, Inc. (verified owner) –
The on board pressure switch on the Sony HXR NX5’s lens is smooth but difficult to “feel” the start point when trying to slow-zoom. The VariZoom is much easier to detect the start or activation point of which the zoom begins allowing for a very smooth, dampened start to each zoom at any speed. And having the control on the handle of the tripod seems to be more natural than reaching to the far side of the camera for the on board control.

The RL 100 worked great. It’s exactly what I needed for smoother zooms.
