18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The ZOE by Bebob works with standard video lens connections and requires the correct connector for the lens type and adapters for other lenses.
- The Libec ZC9PRO is switchable between Canon and Fuji lenses, includes a record button, costs around $230, and can be mounted on gimbal handles using its clamp design.
- The Libec ZC-3DV LANC version also works on gimbal stabilizers without issues.
- Stanton zoom and focus handles are compatible with Fuji and Canon lenses but have long lead times of 6-9 weeks.
- Bebob controllers are more compact than Libec models.
- The Libec ZC9PRO may be bulkier than some alternatives but offers good functionality for stabilizer work.
- High-end focus and zoom controllers with linked control and preset functions exist but command premium pricing.
