The Manfrotto 522P remote zoom control is a dual circuit, progressive zoom remote control unit for the Panasonic AC-DVX100/200 & AG-DVC30/60

Built into a video head pan bar suitable for Manfrotto models 501, 503, 505, 510 or 516 and adaptable for most industry standard heads, it puts the essential commands of the Panasonic AC-DVX100 at your fingertips but, by keeping your hand on your video head’s pan bar at all times, gives you greater control over framing and camera movement.

The dual circuit allows you to choose between a zero power consumption "analog" mode for basic functions (record/stop and progressive min-max zoom via a professional zoom wheel) and a 3 AA (1.5 volt) battery-powered, advanced, customisable "digital" mode. The digital mode gives you the record/stop function, and the zoom wheel can be used to control one of three preset maximum zoom speeds or a personalised maximum speed which you can set to exactly the level you want. The custom zoom speed setting remains in the unit’s memory even when batteries run down, until you decide to change it. In addition, for all options except the slowest preset speed, you can choose between progressive zoom speed (the further you rotate the zoom wheel, the faster the zoom) and fixed zoom speed (irrespective of the rotation applied to the wheel, zoom speed remains constant) by pressing the button once (progressive) or twice (fixed). An LED shows you which speed you have selected. The 522P also allows you to set left- or right-handed operation by changing zoom wheel direction.

The dual circuit also means you’ll never be stuck, even if the internal batteries of your 522P run out mid-assignment: just switch back to Analog mode and keep working with the rec/stop button and basic zoom function (without presets). But you’ll have plenty of warning before that - a battery status LED indicator alerts you to low power in time for you to replace the three AA (1.5 volt) cells.

The 522P gives you an unparalleled level of control over the operation of your Panasonic AC-DVX100, matched with a customisability that ensures you get the desired effect every time you film.
522P is mounted on a telescopic video head pan bar for sturdy attachment, comfortable positioning and fingertip control.

The 522P is the only control unit on the market that not only has the standard basic "Analog" mode, but also a full-featured "Digital" mode with 3 zoom speed presets, a fourth personal/custom speed setting, and progressive or fixed speed zooming
