Cable management solutions for attaching triax and fiber cables to camera vests
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Climbing-style figure-8 harnesses can route cables over the shoulder and middle back while using velcro tape to secure cables to the camera and vest
- A custom strain relief cube that attaches to the vest with a quick-release mechanism allows the operator to walk away from the camera while wearing the vest and still connected to the cables
- Metal clamps, pipe clamps, and velcro are all viable options for attaching cable ends to vests
- Brackets can be mounted to the lower left side of the back of a harness to hold both triax and fiber cables for multicam setups
- Detachable connector solutions allow cables to remain on a cart or stand while the operator moves away from the camera rig
Depends on
- The climbing figure-8 technique description lacks clarity in the thread
- The custom cube design was still being refined at the time of discussion and production details were not finalized
- The bracket solution mentioned was designed for live work, with untested performance in HD or film applications
- Specific manufacturing specifications and availability were not provided
