jondom22 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I got one of those “Eonvic” 5 pin lemo to locking bds cables a few weeks ago for $25 on Amazon. Using it off my bds v2 to power my older SD mixpre. Seems to be working fine, cable gauge seems thick and sturdy. Was also looking at the Alvin’s at the same time. Both made in China I believe. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075K7NT9B?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombackus Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have one of their time code cables for Red cameras. Lemo to BNC. Sure, it was inexpensive and seems to be a little bit delicate but I'm ok with that. I would probably look at their other cables if I ever have a need for something else.

Trey LaCroix Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have a tentacle 3.5mm to right angle 5 pin lemo. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I had problems with their non Swiss manufactured Lemo connectors. No more for me thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shastapete Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have 2 of the lemo 3pin push/pull connectors and bought a 10 pack of the hirose connectors. I used the lemos to make a mic level input cables for my Zax TXs. So far they've held up great, haven't tortured them too much, but for the occasional times you need to record a board feed (and monitor) while running around they've been perfect. The hiroses have been keeping my bag powered for a while now. No issues there, but things don't get moved around too much in there to cause mechanical stress. Can't speak on their cable construction, as I've DIYed my own, but so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apcki Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have a couple of their cables and haven't had any issues so far in the year or so I've been using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauzan Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Gotten a few cables from them. Lemo 5 pin to Lemo 5 pin right angle + Alexa Mini audio cable works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidav Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 their price wasn't so convenient, around 36.00 € the DTaP- Hirose, and 40.00€ the lemo5pin-BNC, for cheap compatible cables is too much, but they was available on amazon prime 1 day to deliver and so I purchased them, yes, they look weak but make the job. actually, I am powering my sd with the DTAP -Hirose cable, and have just received another same, a bulk cable with no brand purchased on Alibaba express and delivered in 45 days and looks better as quality.
