Looking for a Longer Power Cable for Lilliput Monitor

[Jordan Scott Price]

So I have a 7" Lilliput Monitor I use with my 7D. The monitor is attached to my rig via an articulating arm I bought with it (which works great by the way). But the battery on the back of the monitor adds a lot of weight and destabilizes my rig.

I want to be able to attach the battery to the top of my shoulder mount to take some weight off the front of the rig, but the little power (DC?) cable from the battery to the monitor is only about 8" long.

Does anyone know where I could buy one that is, say, 3 feet? I've been Googling this like mad, but I have no idea what I should be looking for. What exactly is this thing called? That might help in my search.

Thanks.

If you know exactly the plugs size used on both ends, we can make a cable for you.

Would I just measure the diameter of the plugs? Interior or Exterior?

 

[adolgin]

Yes, it looks like what you have is 2.1mm ID x 5.5mm OD but could be not. Try to measure and take a better close up picture.

Those are the numbers I came up with; I just measured its inside/outside diameters.

What would it cost for a cable that is male/male at around 3'?

Please order here and send a comment with the order that the size needs to be 2.1mm (not what the standard DE8722 cable is)

 

[Jordan Scott Price]

Awesome. Thank you!

All you need to do is splice in a piece of wire. In fact I made one out of two old 12volt power supplies from a cordless phone. It took all of about 60 seconds. Super easy to do till your order comes in.

You can also contact Gary P - MG1 concepts. He'll be able to sell you the cable too...probably a lot cheaper. Cool guy.
