Indeed but I think they are crap..
They are a pain to use in the field, forever coming undone - usually moments before you slip the shot and all have been cut off on my rig.
I tried the audio lead route even with the type that have locks on them but they were still too fiddly and bulky so i have dropped them out of the equation completely got a few for sale if anyoine is interested in them.
My lamp lead now has a maplins male cigarrette adapter with a female on the battery.
In vehicle it is plugged into the motor and it is a quick pull and push to get you mobile. The charger also need a male too.
Watch your Polarity though and get a decent set of male females - if you try and rob parts from old stuff, I found the male/females sometimes dont work well together.
I am amazed as the last time I spoke to Deben, they said they were "aware of the problems" with their connnectors and were planning to change them.
Most people I have spoken to dislike them as being cheap, nasty and unreliable and it offers no better polarity protection that ciggy lighter set ups offer. In fact in pitch black the ciggy is dead easy to locate and use and is one handed. Not so those mean little connectors deben use.
I cant critise them enough. They suck
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
