Zoom Wheel

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 zoom wheel can be used to control one of the three preset, maximum zoom speeds or a customizable maximum speed which you can set to exactly the level you want. For all zoom speeds, you can choose between progressive zoom speed (the further you rotate the zoom wheel, the faster the zoom) or fixed zoom speed (irrespective of the rotation applied to the wheel, zoom speed remains constant) by pressing the button once (progressive) or twice (fixed). The LED shows you which speed you have selected. To set a 'custom' zoom speed, simply use the wheel to set your speed and hold the zoom speed button until the LED flashes. The setting remains in the unit's memory until you decide to change it.

Whether you choose a limited progressive zoom range or a single fixed speed, the features of the 523PROi mean you can easily repeat zooms precisely in subsequent takes of the same shot. The 523PROi also allows you to set left- and right-handed operation by changing zoom wheel direction. The push auto focus button makes it very easy to achieve in-ocus images when working in manual focus mode. You can also set the main knob to focus in and focus out controlling up to 8 speeds for Canon HD cameras. 523PROi does not come with any parts to fit to the head, but instead utilizes the pan bar clamp that comes with all Manfrotto heads.

Professional Zoom Wheel

The 523PROi uses a professional-type zoom wheel for finer adjustment and smoother progressions. Zoom wheel direction and focus direction can be inverted (left - right or right - left). Wheel comfortably and naturally fits the hand to produce the smoothest zooms.

Telescopic Pan Bar

The telescopic pan bar allows you to choose the most comfortable working position. It extends up to 9.6 inches (24.5cm), providing a maximum length of 24.2 inches (61.5cm) and a minimum length of 14.6 inches (37cm).

Uses 2.5 Sub Mini Jack Connector

The 523PROi is the only system with a jack connector rather than built-in cable. This feature allows the camera cable to be easily substituted, lengthened or shortened.

A waterproof cover supplied with a crystal clear vinyl panel allows viewing of the remote control button during the shooting session. The cover slips quickly over the remote pan bar to protect it from rain or sudden showers.
