Zoom and focus controls move to the pan handle of your camera with the Manfrotto 522 LANC VideoCamera Remote Control. Via the LANC socket, the 522's wheel-style control allows smooth remote manipulation of zoom, focus, camera on/off, and record start/stop — plus other camera functions, depending on whether you're shooting with a Canon or a Sony camcorder. Left-handed shooters will appreciate the option of switching between left-to-right and right-to-left zoom. The 522 includes a 35in. connection cable and necessary parts for attaching the integrated pan bar unit to Manfrotto 501, 503, 505, 510, or 516 heads. Optional adapters allow the 522 to be fitted to almost any professional head. Bogen Photo distributes Man-frotto products in the U.S.
