I was going to buy this but was thinking, how does it fair with most of the non par-focal stills lenses? I know there’s autofocus on these lenses but would worry it would pulse or rack focus in auto when doing slow zooms? Is this a concern you’ve encountered?
I can't quite tell from the video but does clear image zoom kick in immediately on pressing the rocker and max itself out well before you finish zooming optically? I'm trying to understand if the rate of zoom with clear image zoom enabled is consistent from start to finish of the entire zoom or if it drops off because clear image zoom finishes before optical zoom does.
Is it possible to use the Sony grip directly on the Chroziel? I have a Canon C70 and would love to use the Sony handle in the position you are in this video for the zoom or focus and a second Chroziel wirh the Varizoom.
Expensive things can still be cool, and incredibly useful. I use the Chosziel motor almost every day for smooth zooms while recording - can’t do that with the Tilta because it doesn’t ramp the speed up & down.

Does this affect the auto focus and tracking focus feature in anyway. As in make them unable to track any longer? Thank you
Just watch the video - you can see it doesn't affect anything.
Are there any cheaper alternatives you are aware of?
@@timoritchie Not that ramp the speed or can be used on such a variety of lenses, no.
thought this was pretty cool until I looked up the price! think I'll stick with my Tilta Nucleus

Do you think it would work with the Canon C70?
Yes, the zoom motor will work with any camera. It just needs a d-tap battery and a Lanc zoom demand.
