Hello, does anyone know it the Manfrotto 521PRO Compact Remote Control works with the Canon XH A1, including the Push Auto Focus function.
Thx.

Judging from previous posts about this, I don't think even the Canon LANC works with the push auto-focus feature. But if there is any LANC that does, I'd like to know about it too.

i have it and the push autofocus don´t fuction only for the zoom and manual focus and rec sorry my english not is very well, hi

I have several eBenke LANC remotes I bought last year for ~$30, but now I see B&H has the identical unit under the "Digital Concepts" brand for $19.95 -- Digital Concepts | RC-800 8 Button Camcorder Remote | RC-800 (http://tinyurl.com/67o8s8) -- which is simply unbeatable when you consider that a Manfrotto LANC control with the same functions costs $300+.

No push focus, but at least *a* focus control, and a nice-sized zoom rocker and a knob to adjust zoom speed, which beats the bleep out of two-speed rockers you can OOPS! suddenly zoom too fast by mistake by pressing a little too hard.

And (I think I posted in another thread), because these little cheapies feel flimsy, I got a couple of spares. So far, though, the only problems is that a visiting puppy chewed one up, and I assure you that this puppy could just as easily have ruined a $300 or $400 controller.

My little cheapie LANC controllers work fine on both the Canon XH-A1 and Sony A1U.

Considering the price, I can live without push focus. :)

I would like to have the push auto focus as well. What I can say is you can't get that with the VariZoom Stealth LX. You can start/stop, change focus and zoom in and out ....but that's about it. Also, the lever (a small brass hexagon shaped thing) is too small and if you are hoping to get a well controlled smooth zoom ...well, good luck!

Thanks for the respons.

So the cheapie works okay? I've been eyeing one of those for use with an XL1s my church uses for recording worship services.
