Wooden Camera D-tap to Epic/Scarlet/Weapon braided flexible power cable

[Curran Giddens]

I have a Red battery plate (with a D-tap port) mounted on the Ronin handlebars and the Jetpack module for power input on my Scarlet-W.
I ordered this cable from B&H:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ap_to_epic_scarlet_dragon_weapon_braided.html

It turns out the cable has a right-angle LEMO connector, NOT straight. Right-angle cables are useless on the Jetpack / gimbal setup. I checked the wooden camera website and they only show a picture of the cable with right-angle LEMO. The B&H website shows a straight LEMO, but they only ship with right-angle LEMO. Same part numbers too. I don't want someone else making the same mistake.

Got caught out by this too! I actually rotated the power input connector on my Jetpack (so the right angle could work) as from memory by default the right angle is pushing into the jetpack body, whereas rotating it 180 makes it exit neatly away from the body.

Interesting, Wooden Camera sent me a straight one.

I guess I will just have to call them and specify what I need. Maybe they started off using straight LEMOs and recently switched to only right-angle.

I was thinking about trying that. Nice to know it works.

Curran,

I just checked the B&H page and it looks like the picture they have is a D-Tap to Right Angle connector. We sell it with a Right angle for use with the Base Expander as well as the Epic/Scarlet Dragon. We can, however, make custom cables if you order directly through us. Just select the cable, check out, then shoot us over an email, with your order number, at info@woodencamera.com and we can make it with a straight connector and custom length.

Thanks Michael. I requested a custom straight LEMO connector in the shipping notes on my order form.

Great! We listened to you guys and have updated the Webpage for the D-Tap Braided Flex Epic/Scarlet/Dragon/Weapon to have a drop down menu to select Right Angle or Straight.

Great! B&H also changed the photo after I called them. Jetpack module is perfect for gimbal work, but we can only use Straight LEMOs.

Thanks! Ordered two straights and they arrive tomorrow. You guys are fantastic!
