Subject: Re: More ?'s about breakaway

The kit I use occassionally has Remote Audio 9 pin (I think) duplex boom
cable with break aways at each end. The break-aways at each end have two
xlrs and the trs stereo headphone return. This cable, when not being used
as a camera snake, works as boom cable extension.

200' of boom cable and if I really don't feel like moving the cart for those
video projects I don't gotta. :-)
