The New HA18x5.5 combines the best of both worlds, a wide lens to get those tight, under the basket shots, and the ability to follow the player down the court. A lens you will be comfortable with for an interview or studio work, as well as on the sidelines of a football game. The HA18x5.5 with extender features a wider angle and higher zoom ratio than the popular multi-use HA16x6.5. An incredible 0.4m M.O.D. gets close-ups like never before. Digital servo zoom & focus for full servo studio control, robotics, jibs, tower cams, teleconferencing and other applications where remote control of zoom, focus and iris via RS-232 serial data or traditional analog control is desired. Optional zero backlash gearing and 16 bit encoders available for robotics and virtual applications. Remote control of the 2X extender is possible with the optional model ECU-2A remote extender module.
