rocker, ideal for tripod use) Our newest controller utilizes a wide
Shuttle Search Control! Surf through your tape with the new Frame
Forward (F+) and Frame Reverse (F-) shuttle buttons. Press this button once and it surfs
through your tape one frame at a time. Or, jog through your tape by pressing and holding
the button down.
And Finally, Push Auto Focus (A) Turn your focus control from auto
focus to manual and back again with the VZ-Rock! (This feature not available on
certain camera models)
VariZoom's new VZ-Rock. Small in size but big in performance! Stylish and lightweight body built with VariZoom's proprietary TAL technology and the highest degree of craftsmanship. This high quality yet economical alternative to VariZoom's Pro-L and PG-L professional line of controls. The VZ-Rock series and VZ-Stealth series are the "must have control" for all videographers when low price and/or small size is a factor. The Rock and Stealth series controls will fit on nearly any tripod, camera support, or stabilizer. The VZ-Rock is packed with these extra features:
VariZoom is the world's largest manufacturer of lens controls with the widest variety of controls offered anywhere. Our controls are used by CNN, CSPAN, National Geographic Society, Nickelodeon and many other professionals. Get a VariZoom on your handle, you'll be glad you did!
Our intuitive rocker focus control provides you with smooth ergonomic control. Place your thumb in center of the rocker and move thumb forward to focus near or shift your thumb back to focus far. This is the only rocker control of it's kind that DOES NOT! share the rocker for both zoom and focus. Seperate controls for zoom and focus is essential for quick active response times. No time will be lost switching back and forth with a shared control.
Features
And finally, the Wake up from standby button ("ON") Your camera manufacturer wisely created this safety feature to protect your camera. VariZoom controls respects this feature and utilizes it to the videographers greatest advantage. The purpose of this critical safety feature is to prevent damage to your cameras tape heads and the tape itself. When a camera is in pause mode the tape is still engaged with the spinning recording heads of the camera. Because the tape is not moving when in pause mode the heads will be spinning in place on the tape. The standby safety mode activates the tape transport to disengage the tape from the recording heads. This of course eliminates wear and tear on your camera and your tape. When National Geographic uses our VariZoom's on their wildlife shoots, they sometimes wait for hours with the camera in standby mode. When they get ready to shoot again they press our "wake up from stand-by button" and then the tape re-engages the recording heads and remains in pause until the record button is pushed.
