EDIT: The 521EX does relatively controlled zooming. There is a little thumbwheel that allows you to dial up the zoom speed which is in some ways nicer than the 523PRO but it lacks the all important quick "auto focus" button. |

Afaik, it's quite possible that Manfrotto "handle" version will be available for the EX cameras some day, but the Push Auto Focus will definitely not - as the EX zoom remote controller protocol doesn't provide this functionality.

Well after reading this whole thread im still not sure which remote i want.
Its a toss up between the Bebob Zoe Ex and the VariZoom VZ Rock EX. Now i currently have a Varizoom Rock for my HVX and love it. Im currently learning more towards the Varizoom as im use to the pressure sensitive rocker and its also cheaper (exchange rate is currently awful) Am i making a big mistake going with the Varizoom? is the speed control dial on the Bebob worth the extra money? It sounded like the original Varizooms on the market had some issues but then were later fixed.. |

Tuomas I have been researching this since I need this options to go from EX1 to EX3. And yes you can control focus with optional Fujinon and Canon lens but you have to buy their controllers that attach to their lens. You cannot remotely control focus with the stock EX3 lens. But then again why not buy the EX1 if you are not going to use better glass on the EX3?

Tuomas I found this for the stock lens to control focus by remote.

I don't quite understand this.
EX1 does electronically control focus in auto-focus mode. So what could possibly prevent from doing so remotely as well? |

Just the fact that no one has built the control for the EX1. Sony must have their reasons.

Remote focus and zoom
Anybody know if these focus controllers would be a good solution to using the EX 1 on a jib?
I think the zoom control would work but not sure about the cable version. VariZoom Lens Controls - Zoom & Focus Controls, Camera Stabilizers & Supports, Batteries, Monitor Kits The Zoe zoom control would work provided I can get a long enough cable to the camera. 16x9 | Distributor of Film & Digital Products Also this wireless solution from varizoom....does this even work on the EX1?

Variable speed control
I've read several comments about some of the remote zoom controllers having a variable speed control.
Is this redundant to the varible speed control on the camera? do you get anything extra out of the speed control on the external zoom controller? Thanks |

EX Zoom
Yes it is redundant. The extra is just the benefits of remote control and maybe a little better control over speed because of ergonomics. The slowest speed will still be the same and the fastest speeds will vary little if at all.
