Our video camera remote control units put the essential commands of market-leading video cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic at your fingertips when using a tripod and video head, a jib arm or crane, or any other kind of camera support. The range is divided not only by camera compatibility (due to different use of device protocols by manufacturers, each model has to be designed around specific makes or models of camera), but also by mounting type. The 522 and 523 series have built in video head pan bars making them most suitable for use in classic tripod/head setups, while the 521 models are built onto clamps free to be attached to pan bars, tubes, pipes, table tops, steering wheels, handlebars, hang-gliders or even to be hand held for ultimate freedom in control.

Pan bar mounted versions offer the advantage of allowing you to operate both camera movement and many recording/zoom controls with the same hand, letting you take care of creative decisions rather than having to worry about how to reach the camera buttons, follow the subject and keep movements smooth all at the same time.

Clamp versions reduce the number of buttons and controls to the bare minimum, but where you use them is limited only by your imagination.

Lanc Videocamera Remote Control: because great film-making
should be about finding the right frame, not finding the right button.

Behind Manfrotto extended line of pan bar-mounted video camera remote controls lies a simple fact - your video equipment has more features, buttons, levers and controls than you have hands - so you need something that merges as many of the essential commands in one manageable unit if you're going to be expected to frame the perfect shot, take a test still, start your recording, pan, tilt and track the subject across differently lit areas, zoom in and bring up the focus and then wrap up the take without wasting precious tape. By mounting our video camera remote control units directly on the pan bar of your existing video head, or setting them around convenient clamps that grip tightly wherever you need them we put all the essential recording functions of your video camera within easy reach and well inside your sightline so you can multitask to your heart's content. So while you take care of the filming with one hand on the video camera remote control, you can pen your Oscar acceptance speech with the other.
