Manfrotto Video Camera Remote Controls
Video Direct has been an authorized Bogen dealer for many years, and thus also an authorized U.S. retailer for many of the biggest names in the business. These include Manfrotto Video Camera Remote Controls.
Manfrotto video camera remote control units put the essential commands of market-leading video cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic at your fingertips when using a tripod and video head, a jib arm or crane, or any other kind of camera support. The range is divided not only by camera compatibility (due to different use of device protocols by manufacturers, each model has to be designed around specific makes or models of camera), but also by mounting type. The 523PROi has built-in video head pan bars making them most suitable for use in classic tripod/head setups. The 521i models are built onto clamps, enabling them to be used on tubes, pipes, table tops, steering wheels, handlebars, hang-gliders or even to be hand held for ultimate freedom in control.
Pan bar mounted versions offer the advantage of allowing you to operate both camera movement and many recording/zoom controls with the same hand, letting you take care of creative decisions rather than having to worry about how to reach the camera buttons, follow the subject and keep movements smooth all at the same time. Clamp versions reduce the number of buttons and controls to the bare minimum, but where you use them is limited only by your imagination!

Manfrotto Video Camera Remote Controls
Using the same popular pan-handle design of the 523PRO and 522P remotes, the 524CFi is a pan bar-mounted remote control unit for Canon and Fujinon video camera lenses with intelligent circuitry and programming to differentiate between the two. The 524CFi offers an easy to operate progressive zoom, record/stop and RET (return - plays back last 3 seconds of footage then stops at the last recorded frame ready to record again). The red dial allows you to quickly and easily limit the maximum zoom speed to avoid overly fast transitions while the zoom direction switch lets you change from left-right to right-left zooming.
Manfrotto is proud to introduce a new range of zoom remote controls dedicated to the professional ENG lens market. Using the same popular pan-handle design of the 523PRO and 522P remotes, Manfrotto now offers the new 524AX Zoom Remote Control For Angenieux ENG Lenses. The 524AX remote comes with a built-in 90cm 8-pin cable to automatically adapt to the 8-pin connection found on most analog ENG lenses.
The 521LX uses Sony and Canon's widely implemented LANC protocol to allow interaction and command over LANC-enabled camcorders. What makes this unit so innovative is not simply that it has been developed to take full advantage of the latest and greatest LANC-controllable functions. All of those functions and their mapping to the controls of the 521LX are customizable by the user: something truly new and a real benefit to camcorder users, allowing them to get the best performance from their equipment with the most intuitively personalized commands.
Replacing the 523PRO, the Manfrotto 523PROi remote control works with both Sony and Canon LANC-enabled video cameras. The remote control features a record/stop button, a power on/standby button, three different zoom speed control buttons (up to 16 for Canon HD cameras) and push auto focus and Rec review buttons.
The Manfrotto 522P is a dual circuit, progressive zoom remote control unit for the Panasonic AG-DVC-30, AG-DVC80 and AG-DVX100A. It is built into a video head pan bar that is suitable for Manfrotto models 3433, 3460, 516 and 3274.
The Manfrotto 521PFi Focus / Iris remote controller is specifically designed to control operation of Panasonic cameras. It can be used in combination with Manfrotto's 521P and 522P zoom remote for Panasonic cameras. The 521PFi includes a complete range of professional features: focus and iris manual adjustment, focus min and max adjustment, auto\manual switch for iris and focus, specific label and ring giving the possibility to write, cancel and re-write position references for the iris and focus knobs.
The 521CFi puts all the functions of the 524CFi in a smaller clamp control suitable for use with the 595B Fig Rig, with jib arms and in a wide variety of other shooting setups. This allows the video operator to take full advantage of the latest compact HD camcorders with interchangeable lenses. The 521CFi offers an easy to operate progressive zoom, record/stop and RET (return - plays back last 3 seconds of footage then stops at the last recorded frame ready to record again). A small side-mounted dial allows you to quickly and easily limit the maximum zoom speed to avoid too-fast transitions while the zoom direction switch (also on the side of the unit) lets you change from left-right to right-left zooming.
