I've been using a Varizoom Pro for about 6 years now but I have to agree with the other posts----we're shooting wildlife outdoor video and someone else is just along with a bow/gun! I've tried using motion control, clamps, tree stand tripods you name it but the most effective use of your camera is with an Operator-following the action, maintaining focus, iris, dof. I also think that 99% of most outdoor video shows put way too much emphasis on kill shots instead of the primary use/enjoyment/ training/attitude/love that should be shown for the outdoors and the wildlife itself.
In using my Varizoom controller I also bought the 100' Lanc extension for other uses too-----TOTAL remote operation of the camera with motion control, stop/start/focus/zoom,use of a jib while shooting interviews, scenery, camera movement.
