Amazon.com Product Description
Sporting the compact, versatile design of the Stealth zoom control but with three bonus features--autofocus on/off, data on/off and tape search--the easy-to-use Stealth-LX lens controller is a must-have for owners of Sony and Canon LANC- equipped camcorders. The Stealth-LX is distinguished by a unique pressure-sensitive throttle that lets you ease into zooms in either direction, hold a steady speed, or instantly accelerate into a "crash" zoom. In addition, the control is completely intuitive and smooth, requiring no setup, power, or operator skill. And because your thumb never leaves the speed control, you'll enjoy a quick response time and a smooth overall motion regardless of the action. No more worries about poor timing or shaking the camera while fumbling to find the zoom button--simply push forward to zoom in (telephoto) and pull back to zoom out (wide).

The bonus features, meanwhile, add even more functionality to the zoom control. The A button lets you switch between auto and manual focus modes in a flash, the Data button is perfect for toggling between different types of onscreen information (tape time or settings), and the Tape Search mode makes it a breeze to review taped footage. Other features include a power on/off button for toggling the camera into or out of standby mode, a low-profile record/pause button, and an LED light that indicates the recording status, the remaining battery power, and the amount of time left on the tape.

Worth the Money, be careful when ship it though August 4, 2008
Wesley Gunder (Grand Prairie, Texas United States)
This is Varizoom Stealth Controller (need I say more). both the stealth and rocker series are best for a reason, smooth camera controlls and variable zoom speed at the slight preasure of the controlls. Although please take care when shipping, and do not I repeat DO NOT LEAVE ON THE TRIPOD BEFORE PACKING BACK-UP. You will break your controller faster then you can think that way.

Worth it... August 8, 2007
Adriel Brunson
Just took it out of the box, plugged it in and knew it was worth the cost and then some. The next shoot had nothing but smooth camera moves, making the shoot so much easier. To say nothing of having that much more good footage to edit.

It's solid, works great and is now an indispensable part of my work.
