This connector is very common in the filmmaking industry. It’s also the pest connector ever. Flimsy, bulky, awkward, and hard to assemble. So I redesigned it and 3D printed it.

I like it but for me when plugging into a v-mount battery, I like the angled connection since the cable can go down along the battery. Still, very interesting redesign!
The connector is shorter than the original, and with the flexible cables I use it actually end up being about the same size when you guide the cable to the side. What I hate with the side cable is that it’s never on the right side of me and changing side in the connector means a complete re-solder of the connector.
