Canon PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter
Cinematic, Stepless Zoom Control for Canon "Z-Series" RF Lenses
When Canon introduced their groundbreaking "Z-series" of hybrid lenses (like the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z and the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z), they completely changed the game for solo filmmakers and broadcast operators. The Canon PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter is the key that unlocks the full cinematic potential of these lenses. By attaching this compact, motorized drive directly to the side of your compatible lens, you instantly transform a standard photography zoom into a high-end cine-servo lens capable of executing flawless, buttery-smooth zoom pulls.
Designed for single-operator workflows and run-and-gun documentary shooters, the PZ-E2 provides highly nuanced control over your focal length. Whether you need a creeping, almost imperceptible low-speed push-in for a dramatic interview, or a rapid crash-zoom for fast-paced action, the integrated DC motor delivers consistent, repeatable results that are virtually impossible to achieve by manually turning a zoom ring by hand.
Why You'll Love This Adapter
-
Flawless, Stepless Zooming: The integrated DC motor delivers incredibly smooth zoom action. A dedicated, stepless adjustment dial on the front of the adapter allows you to finely tune the exact speed of your zoom pull—from a rapid snap to a slow, creeping crawl.
-
Tool-less Installation: You don't need to break down your camera rig to attach this adapter. It easily attaches and detaches using knurled captive screws that can be tightened by hand or with a coin, even while the lens is mounted on a heavy-duty video gimbal or locked onto a tripod.
-
Seamless Remote Control: Once attached, you aren't limited to using the physical buttons on the adapter itself. You can assign zoom functions to custom buttons on your camera body, or control the zoom remotely using Canon's EOS Utility software or the Camera Connect app.
-
No Batteries Required: The PZ-E2 draws the power it needs to operate the DC motor directly from the camera body via electronic contacts on the side of the lens barrel, meaning you never have to worry about charging a separate battery for your zoom motor.
-
Enhanced Handheld Comfort: Canon includes a dedicated thumb rest attachment in the box. This provides a highly ergonomic, comfortable grip for your left hand when shooting long, handheld documentary scenes.

Things to Note
The most critical factor before purchasing is understanding the difference between this base model (PZ-E2) and the upgraded version (PZ-E2B). This standard PZ-E2 is designed for solo operators who will control the zoom using the buttons on the unit itself, the camera body, or a remote app. It does not feature a 20-pin remote port. If you need to plug in traditional broadcast accessories like the Canon Zoom Servo Grip (ZSG-C10) or have professional zoom/focus demands, you absolutely must purchase the more expensive PZ-E2B model instead.
Secondly, please be aware of strict lens compatibility. This adapter is engineered exclusively to mesh with the gearing on Canon's new hybrid "Z-Series" lenses (currently the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 Z and RF 70-200mm f/2.8 Z). It will not attach to standard RF lenses like the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L or the standard RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L.
Finally, while the adapter draws power directly from the camera, attaching the optional Canon PD-E1 USB Power Adapter to the unit's USB-C port unlocks a specialized "high-speed zoom mode" on select EOS camera bodies and helps save your camera's internal battery during long, continuous shoots.
