I just can't find a source for a longer zoom ring pin for the hvx. That's the little knob on the zoom ring that most folks just take off and loose. I'd like to see if added leverage increases control, does anyone have any solid leads about where to find a looonger one?

much obliged in advance

I'd try one of the film rental suppliers in NY (ie, someone like Feature Systems) and see if the threading on those babies tends to be universal. If so, there might be parts from cine lenses that would fit. I've never run across a longer one for video lenses.

(Steve Weiss at Zacuto.com might have an answer for you...)
