HDMI jack protection?

[Pelican]

I just saw the Zacuto "pincher" and think it's a great device for protecting the HDMI jack (but it's made for DLSRs).
Does anyone know of such a device for the the AF100?
BTW - if I were to upgrade from my Marshall V-LCD70XP-HDMI, to get SDI, what would be the most bang-for-buck monitor? (I HATE HDMI)

IMHO Z-Pincher is overpriced for what it does.

Is your camera on a baseplate with 15mm rods? I fashioned a cheap effective HDMI cable clamp from a 90 deg. rod clamp, an accessory rod clamp tapped with a 1/4-20, a short section of 15mm rod, and this cable clamp from Home Depot: http://bit.ly/zcesYQ

Attach 15mm rod to your base rods with 90 deg. clamp, insert your HDMI cable in the Home Depot clamp, screw that to the accessory rod clamp with a 1/4-20 screw, line in it up with your HDMI port, plug it in, and tighten everything down. A slightly oversimplified explanation, but works like a champ. I use it mainly on my DSLR's to secure the mini-HDMI cable but should be adaptable to any camera sitting on some base rods.

Thanks for the info. I like your simple cost-effective solution. Do you have picture you can share?

Also, can you provide a link to this "90 deg. rod clamp, an accessory rod clamp tapped with a 1/4-20"
