The RM-C2 LANC Lens FIZ Controller with ND Button from IDX Systems enables remote REC start/stop, focus, iris, and zoom control for LANC-equipped Sony and Canon camcorders.
It also features an ND filter button so that you can remotely select the filter on your camera. The controller connects to your Canon or Sony camera via a LANC control cable with a 2.5mm connector.
Essentially this is like a mini CCU unit that could come in handy if you need to control a remote camera if you were doing live streams or covering live events. You could also attach it to a pan handle on a tripod and use it to control your camera that way.

I couldn’t find any specific list of what exact cameras this system would work with. The functionality and control that would be available would very depend on the camera and lens being used.
