  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Monitor Cable Bolt Issue

Brent@RED said:
Actually, I check this subforum quite a few times a day. I have passed the information back on to our cable team to get a line of sight on the issue.

For what it is worth, we actually wanted to sell the caps but was told by Lemo to direct those inquiries to them as we are not an authorized Lemo component re-seller. We can sell cables with Lemos, just not raw Lemo parts. I will address this with them again to try to get you guys some options if they are turning you away.

Hi Brent

Just a suggestion. Get your cable manufacturer to Loctite (red colour version - so can be disassembled for repairs!) and properly tighten all future cables. Loctite and tighten all existing cables in inventory, and mollify Lemo by telling them that if they supply only enough end caps just to cover cables already sold it would go a long way in Lemo customer satisfaction! That way you don't have to become a Lemo component re-seller, Lemo don't have to get heavy regarding you supplying Lemo parts in the future, and it would solve the current common complaint!

Best wishes

We actually did change our cable manufacturing process to do that back in early 2009, Eric. I just confirmed with manufacturing :)

So, those of you experiencing the issue probably got a cable manufactured before then. If you want to send in your cable for a quick dab of Loctite from RED, no problem - just send me a PM!

Any word from Lem? This really sucks. I've two cables with gaffer tape where the bolt should be. Not a good look. Little help from RED or Lemo. You're selling 180 dollar cables. You have to make parts available. Never had issues like this with Arri, Chrosziel, Miller, etc....

And seriously, who'd send in a cable to get locktight? We're not complete sub genius's
