The zoom controller features two USB-C ports, allowing daisy chaining with a focus control unit and connection to the camera with a single USB cable. The buttons can be configured to perform various camera functions. Hardware for mounting onto tripod handles is included. The product is packaged in a cardboard box with polystyrene/foam inserts.
