Chrosziel CDM-UNI-Z2 Overview
Add a powerful zoom motor to your shooting package with the Chrosziel Zoomer Universal Servo Drive Motor. Compatible with LANC control so you can use your existing LANC zoom rocker, the Zoomer also interfaces with Sony's FX6, FX9, FS5, and FS7 handgrip controls. The Zoomer mounts by sliding onto a single 15mm rod, and then you swing it into position against your lens and tighten it on the rod to hold it in place.
The motor supports 10 to 20 VDC power, and it comes with a D-Tap to LEMO-type 0B-5 pin connector for powering it via a D-Tap power source, such as a V-mount or Gold mount battery. An included lens gear belt can mount on manual lenses without gear with a diameter of 2.3 to 4.7".
- The Sony FX6/FX9/FS5/FS7 handgrip zoom rocker direct;y controls the Zoomer servo drive unit
- Other zoom rockers with LANC protocol are also compatible
- Control commands are looped through to the camera, including menu, user buttons, focus magnification, and camera run/stop
- When using a standard LANC zoom rocker or handle with the Sony PXW-FS5, PXW-FS7, and PXW-FS7II, the servo is connected between the handle and the camera via an input and an output jack to receive all zoom control signals
- For the Sony PXW-FX9 camera, an included Y-cable is used that accepts the Sony multi-connector and connects to both the input jacks of the Zoomer and the camera
- For the Sony FX6 camera, the included cable connects the 3.5mm connector of the Sony handgrip, the input jack of the Zoomer, and the Sony camera

Chrosziel CDM-UNI-Z2 Reviews
Works great, but can be finicky

I really love the idea, and when it works, it's fantastic. The multiple zoom modes are super helpful to be able to switch between. The issue I've had is that the device is pretty heavy and can come dislodged from the lens.
Great costumer service & quality

Chrosziel really stands for German quality and costumer service. I had the chance to test this and I can say it's a very strong motor, ideal for crash zooms but also for slow, smooth zooms on cine lenses! It also has a Photolens-Mode but for that it raises the minimum zoom speed. Also you dont need to own a FX6 or any of the other supported Sony cams. Just plug your LANC-Controller into the motor and you can use it with any camera. The Chrosziel Team also was very helpful with any questions I would have and offered great and fast costumer service which is something I value a lot!
