The VariZoom VZPGC 8-Pin Canon Zoom Control is a top-of-the-line remote zoom controller engineered for demanding broadcast, studio, and field production environments. Featuring a dual-variable control system, the VZPGC allows operators to set a maximum zoom speed using the speed dial, then vary the zoom smoothly from a slow crawl to full speed using the pressure-sensitive rocker.
Housed in a beautifully machined aluminum body, the VZPGC is both durable and lightweight. Its ergonomic pistol-grip design supports left- or right-handed operation, making it ideal for tripod, jib, crane, and stabilizer setups. The offset articulated swivel clamp allows precise angle adjustment and securely mounts to tripod handles or support bars up to 1.25″ diameter.
Additional professional features include a record/pause button and a video return button, which plays back the last five seconds of recorded footage and cues the tape to the correct timecode position—ensuring seamless operation in broadcast workflows.
