Ideal for portable deployments for truck and camera connections when facing weight and space constrictions, the Camplex HF-FUWPUW-7 Mini SMPTE cable assemblies with Gepco HDC720HD 7.8mm cable and LEMO FUW-PUW connectors are smaller and lighter than traditional 9.2 mm steel strength member cables. The steel is replaced by a Kevlar strength member that has the same pull strength of steel, but is lighter and more flexible which means they lay flat and are easier to deploy and reel back on the drum. Kevlar expands and contracts at the same rate as the glass members during temperature extremes, keeping the elements in the cable aligned reducing migration. The power conductors consist of two 16 AWG conductors so you can still achieve the same distance a regular SMPTE 311 cable performs to.
The Gepco cable also features bend insensitive fiber to reduce optical loss when bending and handling making them ideal for use behind racks and in trucks where space is extremely limited. The master jacket of the cable is heat resistant polyurethane, which is tougher than PVC for rugged outdoor use. LEMO certified machine polished fiber contacts are fully protected with Camplex over boots and caps for the most demanding applications for high-speed uncompressed HD video transmissions over long distances.

• Extremely durable and lightweight
• 7.8 mm diameter allows for 16% more cable per reel
• Glossy cable finish reduces pickup of dirt and debris
• Highly flexible with bend-insensitive optical fibers
• Kevlar strength member with same pull strength as steel
• Large gauge copper conductors for camera power
• Heat-resistant, heavy duty polyurethane jacket
• Low insertion and return loss

Q: 6. any way to convert this into tripod? I need that sometimes..

A: I bought this monopod to use on an upcoming trip to Alaska. There will be times when we will be on a train or a bus, and I felt that this monopod would be easier to have with me. I love Gitzo - I have a Gitzo tripod that I use all of the time. I have experimented with the monopod at home with ways to hold it against my body for extra stability. You could also use some object for more stability - a tree, building, fence, etc. My tripod will be in my luggage and my first choice to use, but I will have the monopod on my lap for more ease of travel.
