Will this zoom controller work with the XH-A1?

It is LANC compatible, therefore it will give you the basic remote controls of record start, record pause, and variable-speed zoom.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a model or brand that will give zoom and focus control?

Bogen, Canon, VariZoom and Bebob / Zoe all provide models with zoom and focus control. Consult our Remote Lens Controllers (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=123) forum and search there for more info.

Thanks, I have been reading this forum exclusively for so long I forgot there are others!! :-)
