Hello,
i am looking to find a zoom controller for ex1r.
There is no Lanc in ex1r, right?
The cable in this zoom controller is thin? I am asking because i need to work with a steadicam, so i dont want something heavy, to destroy my balance.
What is your suggestions?

Thanks

You might try to contact this guy in the USA,

JonyJib Camera Solutions (http://www.jonyjib.com/)

talk to Johnny... they make cables and parts for jib arms and he built me a special cable for my Fuji zoom controller , so I could use it on my EX3, and saved me about $300.00 in the long run.

HTH.....

Two places to check:

http://bartechengineering.com/ (http://webpages.charter.net/bartech/buz.html)

The G-Zoom!, For Steadicam! (http://www.g-zoom.com/)

With the Bartech one, you will have to get the "thin" cable mod in addition which will add another $100 to the price tag.

There is a recent thread or two on the steadicamforum about the g-zoom. They aren't inexpensive but little for Steadicam is!

Has anyone used the Varizoom zoom Controller?

I se the VZ PG-EX Varizoom Controller. It is great and very comfortable. You can get extension cables for it. I use a 20' for my jib.

I have used it with my SteadiCam, I have an SK, it works OK hold the VZ i your left hand and fly with your right. I rarely zoom while on a Steadicam though.

Are there many people using Fuji controllers with an adapter cable on the EX cams? I know the lens is somewhat limited in its ability to do slow zooms, so would a Fuji control be any better than the Manfrotto, Vari-Zoom, etc?
