Our partners over at 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics, have come up with an awesome fix for using LANC on the Sony X70 and other multiport Sony Camcorders.

The biggest issue with the new line of professional camcorders from Sony, puts us in the position of sacrificing thumb/rocker zoom controllers. These are excellent in their design for single-handed operation, which just makes production for live go... super smooth.

Up until now, we've been using Sony's CBM APP as a controller... mounting cell-phones or tablets to the tripod. Obviously less than idea!

We've been producing with the Blackmagic PTZ Streaming Broadcast Flypack from 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics. It's an excellent solution for tight spaces and delivers professional results!
