What is the mini XLR interface/cable shown in the promo shots for the forthcoming camera? I have been looking into 'off the shelf' mini xlr connectors and they are not easy to find. Appreciate anu insights folks have (I'm in the UK). Thanks

Thanks but they don’t ship to the uk and no sign of anything on the usual shopping sites. In fact next to nothing in the pro AV sites

I'll bet this company will make you one. Give them a call. They have the connector for sale, and make lots o cables.

The Laird cable at B&H is an excellent quality cable at a reasonable price, this is the one I am getting.
Making up a custom cable can cost more, but worth looking into, make sure they use either Beldin or Canare Quad LoZ audio cable for best performance. Not all cables are made equally.
Cheers.

Got this from the very helpful Glenn at BMD
There is a reseller in Glasgow called CVP, they sell these - https://cvp.com/product/blackmagic_bmd- ... gJDr_D_BwE If you give them a call they should be able to give you a lead time on delivery.

I hope this helps?

Kind Regards,

Cheers Glenn and everyone else who tried to help:)

At £25 for a pair of cables is very reasonable price. ;)
