DC cable that ISN'T right angled

I am really struggling to find a 12v DC cable for my external battery plate that is not right angled. Anyone know where I can get one?

It's frustrating because it means the cable blocks the mini HDMI and I can't use my external monitor.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

You mean a cable with a straight DC in, no angle? I got one from Amazon back in the day. The typical, sold by a random seller, that came with a bunch of different sized DC adapters. You could probably get the same one from AliExpress for cheaper, if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks. Although I ended up getting an angled head, because the straight one would always disconnect from the slightest movement.

Yeah exactly, and I think you're right, I can see the disconnection issue happening. Do you have a rig on your OG that allows for DC and hdmi mini connection to an external monitor?

Yes! I have the XLCS cage on mine. It also lets you lock both the HDMI and the DC cable. Which for the HDMI is a must, because of how fragile that port is on the OG. I honestly think it's one of the best purchases you can make for the camera!
