The Canon Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2 is a lightweight and ergonomically designed accessory that enhances the functionality of compatible Canon RF lenses, such as the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z. By attaching this adapter, filmmakers can achieve smooth and natural zoom movements, essential for professional-quality video production.
Smooth Power Zoom Operation
Designed with video production in mind, the PZ-E2 provides a motorized zoom control that delivers consistent and stable zooming speeds. This feature is particularly beneficial for capturing dynamic scenes, ensuring that zoom transitions are fluid and free from manual inconsistencies.
Ergonomic Design and Control
The adapter fits comfortably in the hand when attached to the lens and is equally versatile when the lens is rig-mounted or attached to a tripod or gimbal. A zoom speed dial adds an extra level of control, allowing users to adjust the zoom speed to match the specific requirements of their shot.
Remote Operation for Flexibility
When used with compatible cameras, the PZ-E2 allows for remote zoom control via Canon's Camera Connect app, EOS Utility software, or the Browser Remote function. This capability provides filmmakers with the flexibility to operate the zoom remotely, which is particularly useful in multi-camera setups or situations where direct access to the camera is limited.
Integration with Larger Productions
For more extensive production environments, the PZ-E2B variant features a 20-pin remote connector that allows compatible zoom/focus demands to be attached, facilitating studio or large-scale production workflows. It is also compatible with Canon’s Zoom Servo Grip ZSG-C10 for ENG-style operation.
Designed for Convenient Operation
Users can assign zoom operations to custom buttons on compatible cameras, enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, attaching a USB-C external power supply allows for extended shooting times and increased zoom speed, accommodating the demands of various shooting scenarios.
