Greetings,

I have shoot this weekend with this camera and I know nothing about it.

I have to use it with an 18ft. Cammate Jib, and I'm not sure how I'll get
Iris and Focus control. They are usually controlled by plugging cable into the lens control port on the underside of the glass, but I don't think the XL-H1 has a professional or broadcast type lens.

I looked at the Canon console, but that looks like it's heavily computer based and i don't tink it would work too well with one operator.

If any one has any Ideas please post.

Thanks for your help,

Joey H

The Zoe controller is a nice one that I use with my XL H1 all the time. No iris control however.
