I have the same Varizoom VZ-Rock, it's a good fit for the XH-A1. I mainly just use the zoom, start, stop, and stand by features, and they work great. Not a big fan of the focus feature, it's difficult for me to operate.

Try searching DV Info's Remote Lens Controllers forum (http://dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=123), lots of information there.

Here's one thread specifically for the XH-A1
http://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=83779

I find it invaluable. However, only two functions are worth anything, the start/stop and the zoom. The focus buttons are hard to push and the focus changes as fast as lightning. It would only be useful for getting something out of focus fast. One other niggle... the zoom speeds are not gradual and I find that keeping the zoom rocker in a constant position is tough especially when doing camera moves. Changing the zoom speed to "constant" on the camera has no effect on the Varizoom control.

Now, there might be some camera settings that would mitigate these issues, but I haven't found them yet.

You're probably already aware of this, but possibly not, so here goes......

The Canon A1/ G1 and Lancs have an issue with the "Focus" buttons. I cannot prove it affects Lanc's other than the Canon ZR 1000 / 2000 but strongly suspect that it does.

In short, due to a "design limitation" (Canons words, not mine) the "Focus" buttons on their Lancs give extremely insensitive movement of the focus mechanism on these cameras (under certain conditions).

My suggestion is to NOT look forward to, or "bet the farm" on any Lanc use of the "Focus" buttons in relation to these cameras, as the result could be bitter dissapointment.

There are no other issues I'm aware of with Canon Lancs with these cameras.

The biggest difference I have seen so far between Canon and other makes with regard to these cameras has been in the implementation (or otherwise) of the "Push AF" feature.

Available on the ZR2000, but extremely variable across other makes.

My friend used the canon zoom controller on his tripod while i use the libec one which came with my tripod from zotz.

The main differences is that mine is simply starts / stop rec and zoom in / out. While his has a knob that allows you to adjust the speed of zoom and focus. We both agree that the focus is pointless.

Personally i prefer being able to control the speed of my zoom myself, while with his you set it to the speed you like and thats it, until you switch to a different number. As mentioned before keeping the speed constant while panning or tilting is fairly difficult, but Im not one to pan / tilt while zooming very often.

Here's one for the EX1

http://www.vimeo.com/655026

It can be set to control either Canon or Fujinon 8 pin lens controls, plus it has an adapter for use with the EX1.

The Varizoom linked to in this thread is an awesome utility that I use regularly. Definitely helps with event shooting. Very smooth zooming, too!

Chris I agree with you completely. I have however read that Bogen is making a newer version of their 523Pro that is going to be specific to the A1/G1 and the Lanc issue. Funny how they address the issue and not Canon...

Kell, where did you read that?

As I understand it, Bogen can't address this problem as it isn't really a Lanc issue, but a camera issue.

From my limited understanding, it has something to do with the way the A1/ G1 cameras interpret the Lanc command to "seek forward focus" and "seek backwards focus".

Because of the design of the internal lens control, the fixed length "step" command results in widely differing amounts of focus shift due to the fact that at one zoom setting, 1 step command equals 4 inches of focus shift, at the other extreme of zoom the same single step command equals 40 to 80 feet of focus shift.

As this fixed length command is what comes from all Lancs, I do not perceive it to be a "fixable" problem from within the Lancs themselves.

Whether this "design limitation" will ripple through subsequent itterations of these cameras I do not know, but am not holding my breath.

Hi Paul

Looks like the Libec ZC-9EX controls only zoom and Rec start/stop.
Got any control on focus?.

Reading this forum I realise that finding a remote for both A1 and EX1 is difficult
or no go. So for the time being I am considering a remote for the A1. Any one using a Manfreto 521 with the A1. I am considering it because it is cheap and ready available in India.

Rajiv

The libec ZC-9EX is the same as the Libec ZC-9pro (i think that's what it was),with an adapter lead,i know because i tried both on my EX1 today,i used the same adapter lead with both controllers.Anyone out there with the ZC-9pro maybe able to buy just the lead,it's about 100mm.

Chris Hurd,I took some pics,how do i upload ?

Sussed it,here's the pics

Yesterday I finally could pick up my brand new Manfrotto 503HDV+525 Tripod Kit. What a great piece of hardware to support the Canon XH-A1.

Just before they carried in the 503set from the back of the shop I saw the 501 head and thought: 'Wow, that 501 looks great and BIG!' 1,325 seconds later I realised I had ordered the big brother of the 501....

But now for my question:

The salesman could not share any experience with me about the 523Pro Lanc controller. He simply didn't know it....

So please, if anyone has experience with that Lanc controller, combined with the Canon XH-A1, please write a reply.

I have the same head and I LOVE it. I also have used the 523PRO controller and love it as well. Everything that was stated on this thread is true. Push AF does nothing regardless of shooting mode. I have used it mostly in AF mode. The variable speed zoom works wonderfully. I know it's a lot more expensive than the clamp on controllers, but I feel it is definitely worth it. It looks much cleaner, and although I have not used any other controller, I could use all functions (except PAF) instantly as though it were second nature. Very easy to use and well built. If you have the means, go for it.

Thanks for the positive news Ray. I'm already looking around for the best price dealer (the price is about 300 to 350 Euro over here) and I may order it very soon.

Gert I bought a 523pro to use with my XHA1 it has three programmable zoom speeds a record start stop button an on/off button two manual focus buttons and a a/f button unfortunate the instant a/f button does not work with the XHA1 apart from that it works fine. I use mine on a Cartoni Focus head and the arm that comes with the 523pro does not fit the focus so I had a spigot turned out of 1 inch diametre aluminium bar 3 inches long. One end was turned down to the same diametre as my tripod head arm and the other end drilled out to suit the 523pro arm when that was done I drilled a hole through the side of the spigot with the 523 arm inserted and tapped a suitable size roll pin in to stop the arm coming out. Hope this is of help.

Alan

have the same issue with my xl1-s.....i think that is a canon issue.
b&h had different pan handle diameter (have a miller tripod)

I have a 521 Pro and I can figure out how to set the zoom control for an XHA-1 . I just seem to be stuck with a very slow zoom. Where can I find a manual for this?

Thanks
Tim

Hey all,
Experience shooter, but have an interesting question:

Given that the Console software can control virtually any parameter of the Canon XH line via Firewire, wouldn't it stand to reason that there could be a LANC to Firewire adapter constructed that would allow me to use the Foxi controller to run my focus and iris while I had a separate zoom controller?

Thanks!

Er, you want to run that by us again, I've read your post at least 6 times and it still doesn't make any sense (to me).

What's a "Foxi Controller" for starters?

What are you ultimately trying to achieve, as it sound like you must have 4 hands available with all these button boxes you're describing?

Ahem, "a Lanc to Firewire" adapter - dream on (tho' I can "just" imagine a dual camera setup where that might "just" work, tho' what you'd gain on the swings.....).

CS

Hi Tim,

I think I understand your question.
First of all, I have the software and yes you van controll many parts of the camera with it. But, it is not realtime. Because there is a HDV signal running through that port, the rest is put on top of that, and I think it has a low priority within that connection. When I want to change the zoom or other functions of the camera remotely, it has a little delay.

Technicaly spoken I think it's possible to make such a device. But then you have to learn to work with that delay and I don't know if you will like to have that in a 'real time' situation.

What Lanc controller works with the Xh-A1? I tried two cheaper units that were stated to work with all Sony and Canon camcorders. They didn't work at all with the Canon, but worked perfectly with a Sony.

I used the Bogen 521. Bogen's most basic unit but was awesome. Worked very well.

I have both the Canon ZR1000 (which I bought years ago for use with my Sony PD 150) and the Canon ZR2000 which I got for my XH A1.

I shoot mostly single camera, live event stuff, so zooming, reframing and trying to keep focus on the new subject is the name of the game.

Here's the interesting thing. While both controllers work on the XH, I prefer the 1000 to the newer 2000 despite the latter having features specifically for the XH. With the 1000 I can use the lanc to zoom and then use the camera's "push AF" button to focus simultaneously while zooming. With the ZR2000 it seems the camera's "push AF" button is disabled so zooming and refocusing automatically is impossible. I don't really know if this a fault with either my camera or ZR2000. Perhaps because this controller also has a "push AF" button thats just the way it is. Anyway, after trying and failing to get a definitive answer from Canon on this and because I only discovered after warranties had expired, I just let it be and now use the ZR1000. Annoying to purchase the new controller for about $400 and let it sit there but thats how it goes sometimes.

My point is if zooming/refocusing at the same time matters to your work, check to make sure whatever you buy will allow that.

I would be curious to know if other XH A1, ZR2000 owners have the same results as I do.

I've had the VariZoom VZRock for over a year which works well but only provides basic functionality (start/stop, focus, zoom). To be honest, I'm sometimes bad with documentation and really haven't read the VZRock instructions more than when I first got it. I can't say if the other buttons on the controller do anything because I haven't tried them. My bad.

One thing I don't like about the VZRock is that the zoom speed works in steps. They are closely spaced steps but it's too easy to have a smooth zoom go all pear shaped because my palsied hands can't hold it steadily. It also invokes variable speed even when the cam is set to a constant zoom setting, but that may be the way LANC works in the Canon.

I will give full marks to the durability of the thing. Whilst shooting the Oxford 250 race, there were multiple prolonged rain delays and during one of which the plastic rubbish bag I had over the tripod blew off and the VZ got a full soaking for nearly an hour. The VZ was full of water. I took it apart and quickly dried the components and it all worked except for the start/stop function. Once home, I disassembled it again and did a full dry and clean and all functionality returned. That was last July and it hasn't put a foot wrong since. Bloody solid unit. Next, I'll run over it with my car... kidding.

There might be better units out there, but the VZRock is quite brilliant.

With the 1000 I can use the lanc to zoom and then use the camera's "push AF" button to focus simultaneously while zooming. With the ZR2000 it seems the camera's "push AF" button is disabled so zooming and refocusing automatically is impossible.

The Canon XH A1 stock lens, like the XL1s lens before it, and many others, has only one servo, which does double duty for both Zoom AND Focus.

It can either Zoom OR Focus, not both at the same time.

Never have, never will.

You need to jump forward to the very latest Canon X Series lenses for double servo operation (not an option with an A1, alas).

Neither the ZR1000 NOR the ZR2000 (nor any other compatible Lanc) will allow/ provide simultaneous zoom & focus, as the lens(s) simply cannot do it.

This IS NOT a Lanc issue.

The ZR1000/ ZR2000 do have a known issue with manual focus with the XH A1, or, perhaps it would be safer to say the XH A1/ G1 has an issue with Lanc manual focus whatever the controller - it simply cannot be controlled accurately enough to guarantee "spot on" focus, especially at extended zoom settings.

[This subject has been pretty well aired in other threads. Canon calls it "a system anomoly", amongst other things].

In this regard the "Push AF" button on the ZR2000 does offer a better option - at least the camera optics will sort themselves out automatically even if manual Lanc won't.

This does imply that you have a subject suitable for "Push AF" to latch onto (without hareing off into the background) and you are NOT pressing the Zoom button at the same time.

You will have to trawl the Controller Forum to see if any other controller offers a functional "Push AF" button, I personally know of none.

If "Push AF" is high on your need list, as far as I'm aware, the ZR2000 is it.

If spot on Lanc manual focus is up there at the top of your list - good luck, you're going to need it.


CS

Chris

Thanks for the info re one servo. I’ll have to search out the posts you refer to.

That said what I’ve written above re the differences between using the 2 controllers is true. At least with my gear.

The cam’s push auto focus is disabled when the ZR2000 is plugged in. With the ZR1000, I’m able to zoom with the lanc, and focus at the same time with the push auto focus on the camera.. I’ve checked the focus using the peak and magnfying functions and compared the distance readout between this and manual focus. I’m not talking about a last second focus when I release the zoom. I offer no explanation. I just know what I see. It works.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eye's, I would never have believed it!

I am now having to re - evaluate everything I thought I knew about the A1, ZR1000 and Zoom and Focus.

So certain was I, that I hoiked out the A1 and tripod and tested it for myself.

It bloody well WORKS!!! (What's that saying about old dogs and new tricks?)

I don't know HOW it works, but it does.

It's easy to test this for yourself, set the ZR1000 zoom speed to slowest, rack the lens as out of focus as you can, hit the (Lanc) zoom rocker and then press the "Push AF" button on the camera, anytime you like.

The picture will swim into focus in very short order without the zoom counter missing a beat.

Even more amazing, as long as you have the "Push AF" button on the camera depressed, it tracks the focus perfectly all through the zoom.

Now, what's REALLY interesting, is that if you stop the zoom, having achieved focus, and barely touch the zoom rocker to zoom the other way, it snaps out of focus even faster than it snapped into focus in the first place!!!

Confused? You bet your sweet bippy I am.

Not tested (as yet) but needs to be: Does this behaviour show up with camera zoom controls, as well as Lanc?

I'm sure that once people have taken this on board and seriously played, all sorts of other little gems will crawl out of the woodwork.

My question to you Jase, is this:

When you mentioned the ZR2000 disables the cams "Push AF" button, were you saying/ implying that it transfers this ability (focus whilst zooming) to the Lanc "Push AF" or it is lost entirely?

Anybody got any suggestions as to how this is possible?

I got really excited there for a while as I thought this might well be a way out of the impasse I've been in with the A1 for over a year now with this damn Lanc focusing.

At the end of the day, sadly not, as my subjects never (or very rarely) lend themselves to "Push AF/ Auto" focusing, so I'm still in a hole.

Exceedingly interesting developement, nevertheless.

Jase, thanks for teaching this old dog at least one new trick!


CS

Chris

Well I have to laugh. Have to because after your 1st response to me I too had to get out my camera to see if I was losing my mind. Truth is I haven’t been shooting much lately and only discovered this about the ZR1000 back in July and haven’t used the camera since.

Re the ZR2000 disabling the cam’s push auto: it simply won’t work if the ZR is plugged in whether I’m zooming or not. The ZR’s push auto works just fine but not when I’m zooming. When it comes to that its one or the other, zoom or focus. Hope thats clear.

ok, so I just thought of something. Had to get out the camera once again. Now this is really strange. With ZR2000 plugged in, I can use the zoom rocker on the camera and the push auto focus on the controller at the same time. Hadn’t tried that before because I got so used to using the push auto on my PD150 that thats how I’ve trained my hands when shooting. I’m not sure at this point if that will lead me to use the 2000 again. Not sure the ergonomics will work for me, but I will give it a try.

Anyway, glad to have been of assistance with this. Would be great for others to weigh in here as well. I’m out of town tomorrow so will check in on the thread on Wednesday.

Jase

Now, what's REALLY interesting, is that if you stop the zoom, having achieved focus, and barely touch the zoom rocker to zoom the other way, it snaps out of focus even faster than it snapped into focus in the first place!!!

Chris - just re read your post and didn't think to check that. I'll do it on Wednesday and let you know what I find

What Lanc controller works with the Xh-A1? I tried two cheaper units that were stated to work with all Sony and Canon camcorders. They didn't work at all with the Canon, but worked perfectly with a Sony.
Here's someone else who loves their lanc controller. In my case the Bebob Zoe. It's small, light, sensitive, ergonomic and infinitely adjustable:
Factory - Zoom remote Zoe-III (http://eins.bebob.de/international/zoe-ENG_zoom-remote_e.html)

I bought a beebob Zoes III a while ago, and I hate it. Maybe it's my small hands, or maybe it's lack of practice - but I don't find it easy to use at all. I wish I could find another Jessops £30 lanc, but they don't sell them any more.

Oh no. Annie that's terrible! I can't believe that we are talking about the same product. I hope it wasn't a post by me that persuaded you to buy it in the first place :-)
Just goes to show - one man's meat is another's poison.
Moral of story - there's no substitute for trying kit out before you buy.

The problem with living out in the sticks is that you don't get much chance to try something before you buy. My decision was based on the facts that a) there didn't seem to be a lanc that would operate the push-focus on the A1, so I looked for a (relatively) cheap alternative while waiting for one to become availabe (dream on), b) the zoe was recommended by several people across the DVinfo fora, and c) you could adjust the speed of the zoom.

What I don't like about it -
a) it doesn't want to stay put on the tripod handle
b) I can't easily change from focusing to zooming without looking at the unit (I could with the Jessops one)
c) I forget whether it is on the zoom or the focus setting until I either look at it, or the camera does the opposite to what I expect.
d) because of it's shape, it doesn't slip easily into the camera bag (and won't stay put on the tripod)
e) I just don't find it comfortable to use off the tripod - which is how I often use it from a hide. Somehow I often manage to switch the power off rather than record on and off .

But that is just me - it shouldn't put anybody else off at least trying it.

Annie,

I have the Zoe as well and agree with your points, but living even further out in the sticks than you I had even less of a chance to try one out!

The issue with it not staying put - I wrapped some duct tape round the tripod handle (it peels off without damage) and the Zoe stays put for me.

Plus I always hit the off button when I have a once in a lifetime wildlife shot in front of me. Aggggh!

All I really need is a lanc control with adjustable speed zoom and separate focus. I've yet to find one that tickles my fancy.

Edit: I see Varizoom's OFF button needs to be held down for two seconds, this may be useful for me.

Perhaps it depends what you are using it for. I don't use it for wildlife. I can see why you would want to use a lanc controller to cut out shake on a long zoom of a bird etc. The Zoe is not the best controller for that because it's designed to be used on the tripod arm, not off it.
What I use it for is interviews, rooms full of people, exterior pans and zooms etc. Everything really. I don't like to use the camera without it. It improves pretty much everything I do by making it easier, quicker and better.
I can operate it with my thumb and that leaves plenty of fingers etc to operate the arm on the tripod and the camera controls.
There are only three buttons and they have different indentations so you can feel which is which ie two are concave and one is convex.
I never use the focus on the Zoe. I can see why that could be confusing because you have to look at the lights on the controller to see what's happening. That's probably the main difference between the way Annie uses the Zoe and the way I use it.
I either focus manually using the ring on the camera. Or I use the push autofocus on the camera. In fact I almost always use the push autofocus. Much of the work that I do requires me to reframe and focus very quickly.
My left hand operates the camera controls eg focus. My right operates the zoom (via the Zoe) and moves the tripod arm.
The variable speed control on the Zoe lets you creep the zoom so slowly that it's almost imperceptible. Slower than using the camera controls. Very useful for interviews because you can cut into the zoom if you need to.
A lot of footage eg of a crowd of people at some kind of event, that would be otherwise be unusable in the edit is usable when I use the Zoe.
It's usable because the transitions and reframing are so much smoother and quicker that you can quite often use them in the edit if you need to. You can also lock onto people or things quicker so you get more usable footage and catch things as they happen.
I'm mystified about the reference to it falling off. I fix it to an ordinary Manfrotto tripod and it stays put. Without tape. Always has.
It also works brilliantly on my Fig Rig.
Recently I lent my XA A1 to a friend to film a play and he came back raving about how good the Zoe is. This was completely unsolicited. I didn't even mention the Zoe to him before or after.
My A1 lives in a Pelican case together with the Zoe, my Sony A1E and other bits and pieces.
It's just about the best bit of kit that I've ever bought which is why I was so gobsmacked to read Annie's comments :-)

My problem is feeling the difference between the off switch and the others through at least one pair of gloves!

Don't get me wrong - the Zoe unit is, overall, a great piece of kit. The power off problem is the only thing I don't like about it and can't live with. Come to think of it, I could open it up and do something to that button to make it never work again... reckon that would void the warranty? (hah)

My problem is feeling the difference between the off switch and the others through at least one pair of gloves!

Good point.
Well, I think that one thing that we have established is that it's not the ideal lanc controller for wildlife camera work :-)

. . . Looking at photos of the Bebob Zoe DVXL, the Varizoom VZ-Rock, and the Bogen/Manfrotto 521, I like the way the Varizoom is set up -- it looks the most intuitive for the way that I would want to be able to use a controller, as it has a large rocker for zoom and a smaller rocker for focus. The Bogen 521 appears to have a zoom rocker but up and down buttons for focus -- which could have their advantages. Meanwhile, the Zoe has one rocker which, if I'm reading the reviews correctly, has to be switched between zoom and focus in a somewhat complicated method that doesn't sound very intuitive for me. . .

This much I can tell you about zoom controllers, they are easily damaged setting up and tearing down and going in and out of the tripod case (have lost two of them in three years) so keep that in the equation . . AND . . a controller which requires the least amount of hand action is less likely to cause camera movement which when zoomed in close causes a LOT of unwanted movement.

Thus for us, inexpensive thumb rockers are the best, cheap, and all lens actions are done with the other hand manually. That's our opinion.

I find it very fiddly to use any of the camera controls directly when I've got the portabrace body armour wrapped around it. Even more so when I'm wearing gloves (fingerless mittens usually). With the old Jessops lanc (rocker for zooming, buttons for focussing), I could hold that inside a glove, and then just operated the tripod head with the other gloved hand.

Hey Guys

I need a Lanc controller to function as a pull focus so that the cameraman doesn't have to worry about focusing during tracking shots. then one of the crew members can pull focus for him and watch the focus distances on the LCD screen. I want precise focus control, zoom control doesn't concern us as much. The controller doesn't have to attach to the tripod handle and I want it to be wire control, not infra-red.

Does anyone else use a Lanc controller for this purpose with the XH A1?

Which Lanc controller would you recommend getting for focusing?

Ideally it would have an adjustable focusing speed.

Thanks!

Greetings from Alaska. New to the board and its mind blowing. I am a fishing/hunting/outdoor guide up here and just started getting into videoing my outdoor adventures. I will have many questions as I have already spent 50 plus hours reviewing this site.

I have a Canon XH-A1. I am having a hard time finding the perfect controller setup for my Manfrotto 055CXPro3, 701HDV.


I have been looking at the 523Pro, and the Varizoom VZ-Rock.


Will these units adequately control the focus and zoom for my Canon XH-A1? Is there a better unit that will deliver better performance?


Appreciate your advice, help, and time.


Marc

Hi Marc

I'm in the same boat, I particularly want good focus control. There is another thread here that might interest you:

Thanks for the link to the thread, but I've already read every post within that thread and didn't really get to draw much of a conclusion from that entire thread. That's why I thought I'd post my own and see if anyone has any new fresh ideas.

We use the Canon controller, works nicely. Canon | ZR-1000 Zoom Remote Control | 3089A002 | B&H Photo Video (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=getItemDetail&Q=&sku=186651&is=REG&si=rev#anchorToReadReviews)

/Battle Vaughan/miamiherald.com video team

Any other suggestions?

There's the Bebob DVXL Universal remote zoom/focus controller, haven't used it though

If you're using the Canon XH A1, the only way to go is the ZR 2000.

It even, apparently, works the focus pretty good, something the ZR 1000 doesn't.

Not quite sure what else you're asking for here?


CS

Ooh, thanks Chris, I'll check that one out, I thought there was only a ZR-1000.

Manfrotto's introduced new line of controllers working much better with Canon HDV (XL-H1, XH-A1, XH-G1 and later). More information in the thread: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/remote-lens-controllers/239916-new-lanc-remotes-manfrotto.html

One gets PAF, MF/AF mode switch and variable speed focus control (pressure sensitive with zoom rocker).

TB
