All the connector stuff is simple laws of physics. First thing I'd do if possible, is take off that side (bulk head) plate and investigate how all the camera connectors are mechanically restained to what on/in the camera. Is it just a matter the pcb connector earth pins on the pcb providing the mechanical restraint or is there proper mechanical (independant to signal connectors) fixing. I'd argue the best way to run the cables out of the camera is 90 degress straight down to avoid twisting the mechanical or electrical connectors but that's also dependant on how you tie off the cable to the frame/ bracket etc.....blah, blah....Dave

Clutter on the camera is always safest and best at the back which is why the controls should have been put on the smart side and all the inputs on the back.

Ah, but the controls are on the back aren't they. :sarcasm:

Don't get me started on how wrong that placement is.
