SDI cable ercommendation needed

PostSat Feb 03, 2024 5:46 pm

Hi All,

I have equipped my BMCC2.5 rig with a SmallHD field monitor. The monitor is mounted on a magic-arm like device so I can rotate it on all axes, which is fine. However, the SDI cable I am using is rather stiff, so the degrees of freedom are very limited.
I am now in search for a more flexible, maybe thinner cable and would like to know if you do have any recommendations for me.

Konnor Blue has thicker and thinner versions and right angle connectors that might also suit you. Search B&H Photo to see several variations in 3G and 12G. I use the stiff version on 12G connected to my BMVA12G7.
