When connected to the MOVIECAM COMPACT Mk2,
the Remote Control Box works as both on/off switch
and “remote” Readout Unit. You can read exposed
footage, frame rate, battery condition, sync speed and
warning signs up to a distance of 10 m. As long as the
Remote Control Box is connected to the ready-to-shoot
camera (Stand-By status), the footage counter lights up.

Only with the COMPACT Mk2, it is now possible to
reverse the ramp by pressing again the RESET button
– without stopping the camera.
