Overview

The Blackmagic Design Zoom Demand is a dedicated hardware controller that brings professional broadcast-style zoom control to Blackmagic Studio Cameras equipped with MFT lenses featuring power zoom. It mounts directly onto tripod pan-bar handles using the included hardware, so operators can smoothly adjust lens zoom without lifting a hand from the tripod. The control mechanism is engineered for an exceptionally precise feel, allowing fine framing adjustments during live production, studio recording, or event coverage.

A standout design feature is the dual USB-C port configuration. This allows the Zoom Demand to be daisy chained with Blackmagic's separate Focus Demand unit, connecting both accessories to the camera through a single USB cable for a cleaner, more manageable rig. The unit also includes programmable buttons that can be assigned to various camera functions, reducing the need to interact with the camera body during operation. This bundle packages the Zoom Demand with hook-and-loop cable ties for tidy cable management and a 100-pack of pre-moistened lens cleaning wipes.
