Custom Cable Solution for a Compact Camera Power Connection
For camera operators working with Steadicam rigs, compact and reliable power connections are essential for keeping equipment organized and minimizing unnecessary cable length.
In this custom cable project, our customer needed a short power cable to connect a Sony F55 camera to an existing Steadicam power system through an extension cable.
Project Requirements
- Application: Powering a Sony F55 camera from a Steadicam power system
- Input Connector: 2B 8-pin floating male connector
- Output Connector: 4-pin XLR female
- Wiring: ARRI wiring configuration
- Cable Length: 15 cm
- Quantity: 1 custom cable
The customer's Steadicam power system features a 10-pin output supporting 12V/24V power. An existing 10-pin male to 8-pin female cable was already available, so a short adapter cable was needed to complete the connection to the camera.
Custom Cable Configuration
The planned connection is:
Steadicam 10-pin output → Existing 10-pin male to 8-pin female cable → Custom 8-pin male to 4-pin XLR female cable → Sony F55
By designing the additional cable around the customer's existing equipment, the solution avoids the need to replace the entire cable setup.
