I have a c300 mark 2, and I have the 18-80mm T4.4 servo lens, and the Canon ZSG-C10. I need to get the handle to the floor level so I can control zoom. Its about 12 foot from the camera/lens to where I will be. I know the ZSG-C10 is like a 6" cable but I need a longer cable. Thanks!
 
Most jib guys get a custom cable made . You are in the Big Apple, there should be a few places that can do it . Ask Able or a rental shop to recommend somebody to make you one .
 
It can be done, but it will probably still be pricey. The 20-pin connectors aren't that expensive(~$25), it's the intricate, delicate wiring and soldering that needs to be done that is a big part of what makes these types of things so expensive. I have the 17-120 and I had to get an adapter cable to go to the new 20-pin control port on the lens and it was several hundred dollars for maybe a 6" cable.
