USB-C Bulkhead Budget Hack - Might be a crazy idea!

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

On my Seafrogs Salted Line housing (for the A7V if you must know), I have a pretty huge bulkhead "opening" it's M33 so I can literally fit my finger into the housing.

I was thinking of buying a simple USB C male to female cable, stick it to the side inside the opening and maybe a 4cm slack so that I can pull it out when needed and connect a longer USB-C cable to it. I guess if it's hard to look for a 90° FPC USB-C female-to-male cable, I can get the a normal USB-C cable for inside the housing and find a female-to-male for use outside the housing.

Do you think I'm crazy?

I don't seem to find any holes in this idea since it doesn't impact the integrity of any seal since I can close it back with the original screw cap apart from:
A. Not being beautiful
B. Having slack can potentially jam the zoom gear inside (but still no flooded housing)

Does anyone else have any good ideas / can point out to flaws to this idea?
