ZEK-1

Zoom Encoder Kit

ZEK-1 is the solution to your free running Zoom cameras.

PTR-10(T) MARK II can read its Pan/Tilt movement and send back to the controller for position memory and recall.

Now, with ZEK-1, it can detect and read out the Zoom changes. And convert this information into a Zoom position to send back for the controller to memory and recall the saved zoom position.

Compatible with cameras via a zoom moving ring.

ZEK-1 can read out the rotation of the zoom ring on your camera by a little wheel that sits snug to your camera zoom ring.

This gear must have a tight fit and the same thread as your camera lens.

M0.8 gear is mounted on the Zoom encoder while shipped.

Standard it's equipped with M0.8 gearing, which is the standard in most lenses. In some cases, M0.6 is used so an extra gear is included.

In other cases, when your camera doesn't have a threaded zoom lens, you can use a belt with M0.8 or M0.6 gearing.
