Hi -

Our AV-TV resource person suggests the following:
1. Use a standard video camera with a cable release which could
operated with the left hand (if her camera has that ability)
2. It is possible to get a remote to do functions such as focus,
zoom, etc. Don't know how expensive...
3. Contact B & H Photo in New York City 800-947-9901(www.bhphotovideo.com)

Hope this helps - Barbara
