ZOOM REMOTE CONTROL

Manfrotto is the fi rst company to offer a single unit that will control both Fujinon and Canon lenses. Building on the success of our Camcorder Remote Controls and Lens-specifi c Controllers; our new Lens Controls are designed to command both the Fujinon and Canon interchangeable lenses used by professional camcorders. The Intelligent embedded system that allows the controller to automatically recognise and communicate with the lens you connect it to is what sets Manfrotto's Lens Controls head and shoulders above the rest. In other words: more fl exibility at a lower investment for you, less gear to carry around, less to go wrong and all backed up by Manfrotto's truly worldwide service and support network.
521CFI
BASIC INTELLIGENT ZOOM REMOTE CONTROL FOR ENG LENS
A brand new addition to the Lens Control range; the 521CFI puts all the functions of the 524CFi in a smaller clamp control suitable for use with the 595B Fig Rig, with jib arms and in a wide variety of other shooting setups. This allows the video operator to take full advantage of the latest compact HD camcorders with interchangeable lenses. The 521CFI offers an easy to operate progressive zoom, record/stop and RET (return - plays back last 3 seconds of footage then stops at the last recorded frame ready to record again). A small side-mounted dial allows you to quickly and easily limit the maximum zoom speed to avoid too-fast transitions while the zoom direction switch (also on the side of the unit) lets you change from left-right to right-left zooming. A rain cover is available as accessory (523RC).
