Questions & Answers▲
What camera functions does the VZROCKPZFI control simultaneously?
The VZROCKPZFI allows simultaneous control of zoom, focus and aperture (iris). Each function has its own dedicated control element, enabling precise and independent operation of all three functions at the same time.
Which Panasonic cameras are compatible with the VZROCKPZFI?
The unit is compatible with Panasonic cameras that have a 2.5 mm zoom port and a 3.5 mm focus/aperture port. Confirmed compatible models include the Panasonic AG-DVX200, AG-AC160, AG-AC130A, AG-AF102A, HC-X1, AJ-PX230, AJ-PX270 and DVX100B.
What type of zoom control does the VZROCKPZFI use?
It uses a pressure-sensitive broadcast zoom rocker with a large control path. This design allows particularly fine, smooth and repeatable zoom movements, offering more precision than joystick or throttle-based systems.
Can two operators use the VZROCKPZFI at the same time?
Yes. Because focus and aperture are controlled via separate rotary controls, two operators can work simultaneously — one handling zoom while the other manages focus or aperture. This makes it well suited for complex tracking shots and dynamic scenes.
What rigs and setups is the VZROCKPZFI designed for?
It is designed for use on tripods, cranes, shoulder rigs and gimbals. The maximum clamp diameter is 3.2 cm, which covers the rod sizes commonly used in professional video production setups.
Does the VZROCKPZFI support switching between auto and manual focus?
Yes, the unit includes a switch to toggle between manual and automatic focus. A corresponding switch for manual and automatic aperture control is also provided.
Does the VZROCKPZFI include a record start/stop function?
Yes, a record start/stop function is integrated directly into the controller, allowing the operator to start and stop recording without reaching for the camera body.
How long is the connection cable?
The cable length is approximately 101.6 cm. This provides enough reach for use on shoulder rigs, tripod handles and crane arms without restricting movement.
What are the connector types used for the zoom and focus/aperture connections?
The zoom connection uses a 2.5 mm plug and the focus/aperture connection uses a 3.5 mm plug. Both connections must be present on the camera for full functionality.
What is the weight and size of the VZROCKPZFI?
The unit weighs 450 g and has overall dimensions of 20.3 × 15.2 × 10.2 cm. The working dimensions of the controller body are approximately 7 cm in length and 5.1 cm in width, making it compact enough for handheld and rig-mounted use.
Is the zoom speed adjustable?
Yes, the zoom speed is variable and responds to the pressure applied to the broadcast zoom rocker. This allows the operator to perform both slow, gradual zooms and faster movements depending on the shooting situation.
