Plug-Size of for external Power

Hi there,

hopefully a very fast and little question to you guys :)
The power-plug of the BMCC, which size it is (outer diameter+inner diameter)? I will have to most likely solder my own cable, and would like to know which size it is BEFORE I get it so I'm ready to start right away :)
Would be kind when someone could measure it for me, I'm ok with both metric and inchs :)

Best Regards!

Here is a plug that works, although this cable is a little thin:

5.5mm O.D ( Outside Diameter) and 2.5mm I.D (Inside Diameter)
Be sure the polarity is correct before you plug it in...or... BOOM! :lol:

Yeah for sure!
I'll check it before, it's not the first cable I have to make :) but these things can be done with the camera in hand, getting the parts is a bit harder then (shipping times and so on) :)

Thanks again :)
