What the thread found

• A DIY approach uses a Bebob Zoe servo zoom controller housing with a 7-pin LEMO socket and custom firmware to create a compact zoom controller mounted at the grip, intended for operators who work with a focus puller and operate zoom independently.
• Existing market solutions include the G-Zoom MDR-ZF (developed by G-Zoom in cooperation with a remote head electronics specialist) and the BUZ3 box, both requiring a separate control box with adjustable zoom speed.
• Community interest exists for a potential series production of the custom controller, and a cable manufacturer expressed interest in manufacturing.
• Zoom control at the rig has been a standard practice since the 1990s.
