Cheap cable offcuts

Woo. Popped into Jaycar yesterday evening to buy some tape for Sunday, and they had quad-screened Belden 75 Ohm coax in their offcuts/discount box! It’s priced as if it were 5M, but I think it’s probably closer to 7 or 8, and the quality is brilliant. Even with crappy non-crimp (screw on) connectors. I got home and kicked myself because there is a tool here that can probably crimp on the ends, but I didn’t remember at the time and just wanted something that worked! Heh.

We’re still probably a bit short on cables, but I’m hoping to use this from the MX-50 to the projector (control is gonna be just behind the screen, and it’s not a particularly long throw)… so I just need to get ONE MORE cable sorted for camera #2 and everything is good. Assuming we have enough cameras, but that’s a whole different kettle of fish, with several people fishing, so God-willing we’ll get something sorted in time there. If not, it’s going to be great quality playback with crap quality live vision! Ah well, we can but try!

Anyway, I’m about to disappear and pick up my new toy for the weekend… Hello Panasonic MX-50!
