EVF/LCD LEMO connector screw caps falling off. (fhg 1b) Where to buy caps?

[David Bourla]

Twice these tiny little caps have become uncsrewed and disappeared on set. Grrr.
Any clue where to get just the caps and not buy another $70 connector or $200 cable????
Thanks!

Is that a Red cable? That's pretty weird. All the RED lemo cables I have worked with have been very solid.

[David Bourla]

Yes, RED EVF/LCD cable. You can twist that cap off with your fingers on both my cables. :-(

[Jim Hoffman]

I have had the same issue

+1 mine came back from a rental with a missing cap.

Wouldn't that be more of a renter/lemo issue not a Red issue?

Dave, we have had them fall off, but when we found them, and screwed them back on, they never remained screwed back on.. Seems like once they come off, the threads seem stripped as you can tighten them to the point where the resistance stops and the cap just spins. I would be interested in purchasing a couple of "new " caps and seing if that in fact solves the problem.. In the meantime, the cables work just fine without the cap, but Im sure the exposed wire under the cap should not be exposed, and for what these cables cost, the caps should not fall off ever

It is a know issue, and has been for 3-4 years..I wonder why it hasent been fixet...Anyway, most people fix it with locktite.
