Yet another camera question..... What lanc remotes are you guys using while filming and what are some things to look for?
Varizoom stealth, has power, record, zoom, and focus controls. Wasn't real expensive and clamps onto handle nicely.
I am getting the Varizoom VZ Stealth Miniature. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002ABNUY...=UTF8&colid=E4QBIJRMO3O9&coliid=IBVFIUFX15BJI
Ha I think there alot of guys on here that got same one actually. It's pretty easy to work with, this last year was first time I had all the gear needed to film and I got along with it pretty good. Like said it stays on nice and tight and really didn't haveta worry bout it. My arm hangs on outside of my pack when carrying everything in so I'm sure it gets bumped here and there. That remote was never loose or moved around all year doing that. One thing I will tell ya if you've never tried it make sure ya hit the record button haha. I had everything set up about perfect this year first time out and shot a nice doe. Went to review footage and nothing ha. But good luck with everything.
I use that same one. It's nice and has worked for 4 years now. The only complaint I would have is that the focus is too fast when the zoom is wide. It jumps from being focused at 25 feet to infinity instantly. When you're zoomed in it focuses slower. That may be a camera issue though. The zoom control on the remote works great....the farther you slide it the faster it zooms. I wish the focus control was the same.
