INSTRUCTIONS FOR VZ-STEALTH DVX

Thanks for buying the Stealth DVX, our zoom controller for the Panasonic DV ProLine series camcorders. The Stealth DVX will provide remote control of variable-speed zoom and record start/stop. We think you will enjoy this product, but before using it please read the

instructions thoroughly.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A “LANC” CONTROL DEVICE. DO NOT PLUG THE VZ-STEALTH

DVX INTO ANY CAMCORDER OTHER THAN PANASONIC DV PROLINE UNITS! THIS CONTROLLER SHOULD ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO THE JACK LABELED “REMOTE”

ON THESE PANASONIC CAMCORDERS.

1. First, loosen the brass clamp nuts and fix the controller to your tripod handle, jib, or shoulder support (or use it hand-held).

2. Using the controller is as simple as turning on your camcorder and plugging the unit into the jack labeled “Remote”.

3. To zoom in (telephoto) press the brass handle up, and to zoom out (wide) press the handle down. The farther you press the handle, the faster the lens will zoom (within the normal operating limits of the lens assembly).

4. You can also start and stop recording by pressing the “R” button.

Warranty Warning! Do not open your control device, as this may void your warranty and possibly damage the controller. If you need service, contact VariZoom for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA #). All controllers have a two-year parts and labor warranty. Please save your receipt and send us your comments and suggestions. Thanks!
