The GY-DV300REM is a powerful new member of JVC's expanding lineup of handheld camcorders. In addition to all the performance and features of the GY-DV300U, the GY-DV300REM is an enhanced version that provides remote iris, zoom and focus as well as remote camera parameter adjustment capability. This new model is fully compatible with the Varizoom "VZ-300" as well as JVC's own Pan/Tilt system.

The new remote control capability is made possible by special firmware within the camera head, and a remote adapter plate that snaps onto the bottom of the camera. (The camera can also be used with the optional KA-DV300U network adapter, but not simultaneously with the remote adapter plate.)
