I just picked up the second camera for my Chase-cam setup, so i had to install the processor to do so. Well i have ran one event with it, and haven't got a complete video yet because the damm S-video cables keep falling out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I've tried zip tie's and tape (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) but apparently i didn't use enough. Any idea's on how to get them to stay? I don't want to superglue them in because i remove them at night.

Thanks

How are you velcroing these? Might have some luck with a strip of loop on top and bottom of processor box. Hook fabric goes off one side, makes a 360 around the top of the connector at the strain relief to the cable, then ties down on the other side.

We've also played with using heavy-wall weather-tight heat shrink (picture thick wall heat shrink with hot melt glue on the inside) to bond a pass-through wire at the base of the cable above the strain relief, the ends of which were secured at the box.

You probably don't want to go as far as we have to go to make the military happy, which in the minimum involves a belt-and-suspenders approach of right-angle locking connectors and a lock-bar that goes across the back of the connector panel to trap the connectors.
