Making connections

[Bergen 0]

I'd like to run my cameye and tongue switch cable through my helmet. It sounds like most splices are made with a soldering iron. I can't find any connectors that will wo the job.

Is soldering really the best way to go? Any tips?

thanks

I just drilled the holes big enough to fit the plugs through. Even the CamEye has a little lip around the button, so if you drill the hole just right, you can just pop it through. See the attached pictures.

I should have been clearer in my original post. The plug for the Cameye doesn't fit in the Cookie box. When I put the plug in the box, the box won't close all the way. The plug goes into the right side of the camera, which is the side that sits against the helmet.

So I'm looking at making a hole in the right side of the cookie box that will accomodate the plug. Has anyone out there had to modify a Cookie box? Any tips?

if the plug has a 90 degree pin on it it should be fine, I have no issue at all with mine, are you making certain that the cover for the LANC port is tilted UP and out of the way?
Also make certain the strap is not the thing making closing the lid difficult
