Wanted: CamEye II with Zoom

[GeorgeKat 0]

I searched the forum and found this: http://www.technodz.com/category/product but there is no response from the site to my requests.

Does anyone know where I can get this or a similar product? I want CamEye II functionality with zoom control via LANC on a Sony PC 330.

Contact the makers of the cameye directly. I had one made 2 years ago for exactly what I wanted. It is a little pricey though. Well worth it. Or you can check this url

The best bet is still the Mfg they will make exactly what you want in 2-3 weeks

Just curious of how much zoom and what is your application.

I just sent them an email.

Thanks for the link - interesting.

Ideally It would replicate the on-camera control although I think the camera incorporates a potentiometer that adjusts the rate and direction of zoom and I don't really need this.

Second best would be pre-set, fixed rate with two switch points: zoom-in and zoom-out.

Third best would be two, pre-set zoom positions that I can select from with a single button press.

The application is simple - I want to be able to zoom my ground footage (for tandem and AFF) without taking the camera out of the DBox. The zoom control switch position on the PC330 coincides with the hinge on the DBox and is on the helmet side (side-mount) so I can't cut an access hole.

how about saving some money and landing close to the tandem or aff

just kidding...i normally either ride it a lil low or spiral under canopy to ensure enough time to take the cam outta my d-box to be able to zoom in case the tandem lands a bit away from me...then do some extra editing.
