Questions & Answers▲
What type of camera connection does the VZROCKC use?
The VZROCKC is designed for Canon lenses with an 8-pin connection. Adapters for 12-pin Canon lenses are also available, such as the VZC8F12 or VZC8C20.
How does the speed limiter work?
A dedicated Speed Limiter controller on the side of the unit lets you set the maximum zoom speed. This ensures smoother, more reproducible zoom movements and prevents unintentional fast zooms during recording.
Can I start and stop recording directly from the remote control?
Yes, the VZROCKC includes a record start/stop function, allowing you to trigger recording directly from the controller without touching the camera body.
What is the video return function used for?
The video return function allows the operator to review the last recording directly from the controller, which is especially useful in crane or remote camera setups where the camera monitor is not easily accessible.
How long is the included connection cable?
The included connection cable is approximately 1 meter (101.6 cm) in length. If a longer reach is required, extension cables from the VZEXT8 series are available separately.
How is the VZROCKC mounted to a camera rig?
The unit features an integrated universal clamp that allows quick and secure attachment to tripods, crane arms, gimbals, shoulder rigs, and other standard camera supports. The maximum clamp diameter is 3.2 cm.
What are the dimensions and weight of the unit?
The VZROCKC measures 20.3 × 15.2 × 10.2 cm overall, with the control head itself being 7 cm long and 5.1 cm wide. It weighs 450 grams, making it suitable for weight-sensitive setups.
Is the zoom rocker pressure-sensitive?
Yes, the zoom rocker is pressure-sensitive, meaning the harder you press, the faster the zoom moves. This allows for variable and natural-feeling zoom control during professional video production.
Is the VZROCKC suitable for use on cranes and gimbals?
Yes, the compact and lightweight design makes it well suited for use on cranes, gimbals, and stabilized rigs. It is specifically designed for scenarios where the camera operator cannot reach the lens directly.
Are extension cables available if the 1-meter cable is not long enough?
Yes, extension cables from the VZEXT8 series are available as optional accessories to increase the cable reach beyond the included 1-meter cable.
Can the VZROCKC be used with 12-pin Canon lenses?
The VZROCKC natively supports Canon lenses with an 8-pin connection. For 12-pin Canon lenses, compatible adapter cables such as the VZC8F12 or VZC8C20 are available separately.
For which production environments is this remote control most suitable?
The VZROCKC is primarily aimed at professional video and broadcast productions, including studio setups, mobile productions, crane shots, and any situation requiring precise remote zoom control from a distance.
