TA3 (or 5) F right angle connectors that don't suck?

Can anyone suggest an off-the-shelf right angle (adjustable) TA3F field-serviceable connector that doesn't require an endoscope and a mechanical engineering degree to deploy?  Have tried two versions from Usual Suspects, very expensive per each, hated them, to big too fragile too fussy.  This is for a bespoke setup so I need to solder them myself (re a Kortwich commission).  Is the only solution to hack up straight connectors and epoxy them up?  I'd like something that I could change the cable-exit angle on in the future, as well as repair if they get damaged. thx

Not RA body BNC. It may be a machine tool or a similar device. Use for connecting tubing. 10 mm in diameter (M10), very cheap, I bought in China, only need about $0.3.Ta3 or TA5 can be installed directly. But there is a problem, there are little, may need to drill, the inside of the hole enlargement point.

I saw these the other day and they don't suck.

they look very similar (the same?) as the ambient ones mentioned earlier on. no experience with them though, I still think that Kortwich makes the slickest right angle TA3 and XLR connectors (they are pre soldered though)
