Picked them up from this guys ebay store- http://stores.ebay.com/Alvins-Cables
Really good company that will make any length cables your heart desires. I went with a 24in monitor cable and 18in power cable. The power cable that DJI sells is too think IMO. If you going to power the camera with the Base Expander then I suggest cutting off the black cable cap and folding the cable over so it does not hit the back of the gimbal. You can see how I did this in the top down photo posted above. It works pretty well to keep balance of camera centered if you put the monitor mount on the left side camera to balance the power on the right. I had much better success going this route then trying mount the monitor plug on front of camera.
I have broken three of those cables. I am using one now and I don't recommend it they are really cheap chinese crap.
Once it breaks he won't repair them or give you a refund either. One of the cables pins shifted and I had to send my monitor back to red. Cost was $450 for using these. I would love to know if anyone else has a good source for a long evf/lcd cable that isn't too overpriced.
