  DVX100B remote control zoom is jumpy

  Posted by Ruby Gold on February 28, 2007 at 8:38 pm

  I have a series of interviews to conduct by myself using my DVX100B. I need the talent to look to the side of the camera in order for the shot to be framed/look right, so I planned to sit a foot or so to the side of the camera (alternating sides with various interviewees) so they have someone to look at/engage with as I ask the interview questions. With my old camera, I’ve been able to do this (with a little clamshell hooked up as a monitor) and use the remote to do nice slow zooms for close-ups and pull back out again.

  When I tried this out with my new DVX100B, I found the remote zoom to be very uneven–speeding up, slowing down, stopping–basically delivering unacceptable performance for a production. Does anyone know why this is and if there’s a reliable workaround for it?

  thanks!
