Libec SONY PMW EX cameras adapterWhen dealing with Sony's classic line of PMW EX camcorders (such as the PMW EX1, EX1R, and EX3), traditional broadcast zoom demands cannot plug directly into the camera bodies due to Sony's proprietary multi pin lens control ports. To bridge this connection, Libec offers the Libec A 9EX Conversion Adapter, which acts as an electronic interface between Sony PMW EX cameras and professional 8 pin lens controllers. Core Features & Practical Utility Cross

When dealing with Sony's classic line of PMW-EX camcorders (such as the PMW-EX1, EX1R, and EX3), traditional broadcast zoom demands cannot plug directly into the camera bodies due to Sony's proprietary multi-pin lens control ports.

To bridge this connection, Libec offers the Libec A-9EX Conversion Adapter, which acts as an electronic interface between Sony PMW-EX cameras and professional 8-pin lens controllers.

Core Features & Practical Utility

  • Cross-Brand Zoom Control Demands: The A-9EX is an 8-pin male-to-female conversion adapter. Its primary function is to allow standard Fujinon or Canon 8-pin ENG lens zoom demands (like the Libec ZC-9Pro) to command the integrated servo lenses on Sony PMW-EX camcorders.

  • Compact Footprint: Measuring just 3 inches (approx. 7.6 cm) in length, the adapter adds zero cable clutter to your pan-handle controller setup, neatly stepping the connector width down to match Sony’s internal pin configuration.

  • Full Protocol Continuity: The internal wiring architecture passes variable-speed zoom voltage curves, Record Start/Stop commands, and Return video toggles seamlessly through the link without signaling lag or command dropouts.

Hardware Technical Specifications Matrix:

Parameter Libec A-9EX Specifications
Model Number A-9EX
Input Interface End 8-Pin Professional Broadcast Standard
Output Interface End Sony PMW-EX Dedicated Connector
Total Cable Length 3 inches / 7.6 centimeters
Primary System Use Case Adapting Fujinon/Canon controllers to Sony XDCAM EX bodies
Net Weight 0.05 pounds or 22 grams

The Pre-Configured Alternative: Libec ZC-9EX

If you do not already own a standalone 8-pin zoom demand, you don't need to buy a separate controller and the A-9EX adapter manually. Libec sells a fully integrated package known as the Libec ZC-9EX Zoom Control:

  • What it is: A universal pan-handle clamping zoom rocker that includes a detachable version of this exact EX adapter cable out of the box.

  • Dual Functionality: Unplugging the short EX extension piece converts the controller back into a standard 8-pin ZC-9Pro remote, which can then be used directly with standard Fujinon and Canon ENG lenses.

💡 Operational System Tips for the A-9EX Adapter:

The Voltage Toggle Rule: When utilizing this adapter with a dual-protocol zoom remote (like the ZC-9EX or ZC-9Pro), always look for the small mechanical slider switch marked "F / C" (Fujinon / Canon) on the side of the controller housing. Because Sony's internal lens electronics mirror the voltage signaling behavior of Fujinon optics, you must flip this switch to "F" (Fujinon) before booting up your Sony PMW-EX camera to ensure the zoom rocker travels in the correct structural direction.

  • Pin Safety Alignment Check: Sony's PMW-EX control sockets feature exceptionally fine interior receiver needles. Never twist the adapter barrel into the camera socket forcefully if you feel initial mechanical friction. Align the plastic physical indexing ridge on the collar perfectly with the top slot of the camera port, push straight inward, and then twist the knurled metal locking ring clockwise to secure it.

Basic mouse that works - - for now.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Blue
I ordered this mouse (in blue) to replace the recently deceased exact same model that I've used for the past 2 or 3 years. I like the simplicity of the M185 mouse and mostly the best bang for your buck! I caught this one on sale for less than a ten-spot, so I thought, "why not." I'm hoping that this one will last a bit longer than my two previous M185 models, that averaged about 3 years each. This model seems plagued by a short life span and is predisposed to mysteriously and suddenly dying, without any obvious symptoms or warning of any kind - - you're working and clicking along, going about your day, when suddenly the cursor on the computer screen freezes and that's it. Nothing, zero, nada. Funny thing, I'm very careful not to abuse or drop the mouse, and keep a fresh battery installed and watch for leakage and all that stuff - - they just stop working, and I assume it is caused by some sort of inherent electronic fault in the circuitry of the previous M185's. Due to my loyalty to the brand and model (and since it was on sale) I decided to give it one more shot. They say that "third time's a charm". I like the fact that the M185 is simple and uncluttered with extra buttons that I would never use for my purpose, which is simple web-browsing and the occasional text document production. The feel is solid, not heavy, but not cheap feeling, either. I'm used to the shape of this mouse, which to me is quite comfortable for long sessions, another reason why I kind of wanted to stay with this model. The buttons have an audible "click", which doesn't bother me at all, and the wheel moves smoothly and also has a clicking operation (which I rarely ever use). The overall surface of the mouse has a matte finish, but like my previous models I'm sure it will eventually wear shiny spots where my fingers reside and will attain a more "well-used" look in time. Connecting it was a breeze, too. I just plugged the dongle into a spare rear usb port of my desktop, and the mouse connected instantly, no problem. The dongle can be stored safely inside the battery compartment, so you can take the whole thing out of the house if needed for use elsewhere. The speed of 1000 dpi seems just right for my purposes. The one I ordered even came with its own AA Duracell battery, which I wasn't really expecting. This mouse also enters "sleep mode" when you don't use it for a while, and I can't say how many times I've got up and left it on all night. And that's not hard to do, as I'll explain next. The only real negative to this mouse is the absence of any easily visible status indicator of it's on / off switch. The rear housing of this mouse is matte black, including the tiny switch where you turn it on and off with your fingernail, with only a very faint "on" lettering (also black), and very hard to see with my aging eyes. The laser is not lighted or visible when on, also adding to the confusion, especially in a darkened room. So, as a workaround, I took a tiny drop of green paint and placed it down inside the switch slider to visibly help indicate the "on" position, and likewise a dot of bright orange for the "off" position. Many of Logitech's more expensive models (and a few other manufacturers) include this color-coded switch indication. I guess for the $$, they had to cut corners somewhere - - a minor complaint. In summary, this is a good basic mouse that works - - let's hope that this one will last longer than its two predecessors.

My favorite mouse ever
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Off White
I'm very particular when it comes to mice. It has to be: - quiet click and scroll - scroll wheel, not track ball - bluetooth - vertical - real battery, NOT rechargeable There are actually several mice that fit all those criteria, and I've tried nearly all. This Logitech is double the price of most of the others, but for me well worth it. Prior to this I used the Mojo which is about half the price, and that mouse is probably my 2nd favorite but it is a distant second. Compared to the Mojo and others, this mouse has more precise movement, smoother scrolling, and more reliable clicks. Because of the vertical orientation, my finger tends to click diagonally downward with gravity instead of fully horizontal in line with the intended click direction. That causes the Mojo to sometimes miss my clicks, forcing me to constrain my finger direction more carefully, often requiring several tries just to click something. But this Logitech has no such issue, it's very responsive every time even with my sloppy clicks. So while I used to think the Mojo was the best I could find given my requirements, this Logitech is clearly better. When I spend all day at the computer, these minor things make a big difference to me, therefore well worth the extra money. Also want to mention I'm 6' 4" tall and the size of this mouse is fine for me. It is a little smaller than some others, but it feels fine in my hand, it's not abnormally tiny or anything. I was concerned because the description says it's intended for smaller hands and suggested I should get their larger MX Vertical model instead. I would have considered it but the MX Vertical has a rechargeable battery which is a deal-breaker for me. What's my beef with rechargeable batteries? Earlier I had the Seenda vertical mouse but its rechargeable battery died after a year, unable to recharge, so I figured it was a fluke and bought another, and same thing happened after a few months. So after that I switched to replaceable batteries and never looked back. Replaceable batteries last forever (well, they only last a year too, but then you just replace the battery!). I've been very happy using replaceable batteries, way more reliable and durable, because all rechargeables die eventually, and it is easier to replace a battery than an entire mouse! So in summary, if you're price sensitive you could get a usable vertical mouse for less. But if you're OK to spend a little more for a tool you might well use all day for years, then this one is totally worth it IMO.

Don't Delay - Get One
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Make sure you get the right size - I got the Small/Med. Perfect fit. Have had tennis elbow for years and the computer use exacerbated the issue. Very comfortable, great fit. The best position for your hand is in the upright position. Would recommend one for everyone. Good, solid mouse.

Bad auto driver install. Great mouse. Few of the left hand mfgs.
Style: Left-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Really crappy auto driver install. Locked up my USB ports for my usb keyboard, usb mouse, all usb ports in fact. Had to reboot multiple times with an old style 5pin keyboard since the software screwed up my usb ports. All of them. Lucky I have a motherboard with an old style keyboard port. A reboot of W11 in safe mode, ripped out auto-installed software, registry keys and rebooted to regain control of my USB ports. I do not know what went wrong. Alls I know is Logitech loaded something, it locked up my USB ports and I had to rip everything Logitech out to get control again. I downloaded the software, installed it and it worked fine. I've had no problems since. I'm an old lefty and as such am ambidextrous in most areas, since there just was not left handed oriented items readily available. You had to have left handed stuff made so you learned to do things right handed. I've developed carpal tunnel in both elbows and had purchased a couple of vertical mice, one left and one right. I took the left into work and was looking for a replacement. My other two were around $30 ea. I liked the right handed vertical mouse (Anker). They do not make a left handed version. The left handed mouse is ok, not as good as the Anker. I decided to go above my spend tolerance and get the Logi after reading many reviews. It has not disappointed me. The auto-install sucked. Never letting that happen again. It is a nice smooth mouse. Fine movements that are easily adjustable. The hand position is excellent. I can use this all day without switching to the right because of elbow pain. If you have the pain, you know what I am talking about when it flares. It takes some getting used to the subtlety of the clicks when coming from lower cost mice. Soft and gently like a newborn's .... One of my big criteria for a vertical mouse is a landing area for the outer two fingers (pinky and next to pinky for finger orientation challenged). When you go to a vertical mouse, it takes some adjustment to moving the mouse since you can't really press down with your palm and inside two fingers (the ones next to the outside two fingers). It is helpful to be able to use the two outer fingers and thumb to aid in moving the mouse. You have to experience a vertical mouse to understand. The right handed only Anker goes from an inch to a half inch in the length of my pinky below the buttons on the side. This is a really nice landing area for the outside fingers to assist moving the mouse around. You can squeeze a little and the mouse glides. The Logi mouse is a wee shorter than the Anker and the area below the buttons in a mostly straight 3/4". Both mice curve quickly down to the inside below this area. I was used to a vertical mouse by the time I purchased the Logi and I have no issues with the pinky dragging the table and the finger next to pinky resting on the landing. I move the mouse with no problems. It is the subtlety of how one interacts with these style of mice. The big plus, takes a long time before mouse use causes pain flareups. And this isn't just a pain and done. Depending on how one ignores the pain, often determines how many days life sucks. The Logi mouse minimizes the flare ups. I'm thinking of taking the Anker in and getting a right handed Logi for home. I like the Anker, I'm frugal and highly recommend it for getting your feet wet. I love the Logi (auto-install sucks) and will probably ignore my frugal tendencies and get a right handed one since I don't switch hands as frequently with the Logi in the mix. Don't have to suffer auto-install either.
