RE: How does a remote lanc help you????????
For the DVX100 an Lanc controller is kind of a waste, the only functions you can control with it are rec. start/stop and zoom...........you still have to get your hands on the camera to adjust the focus, while some may say you can simply adjust your focus to an infinite point and zoom back, I find I get much sharper footage if I am constantly working the focus ring as I zoom in or out. I do not use a remote controller for my DVX, maybe my footage would improve if I did, but i doubt it.
