DVX-100a Cam Remote
Has anyone else had problems with the “CAM REMOTE” plug on the camera. Started to have problems with the “Zoe BeBob” zoom controller. It’s fine but I guess the cam remote socket is gettin’ dirty or something because it’s only working if I wiggle the connector a lot. I have tried to clean the connector but it’s so small. Anyone have any ideas on this minor issue? Thanks!

I’d contact the Cam Remote folks- there may be a way to clean the connection or increase it’s effectivity.

Thanks!
It’s not a huge deal but I’ve come to love the BeBob and hate not being able to use it with the DVX_100. I have tried some head-cleaner solution applied to the BeBob plug and inserted it a number of times in hopes that would help I also blown air into the connection and all this seems to help a bit but it still doesn’t make a reliable connection. If I hold the plug a certain way it works so it may be just be that the connector is wearing out.

It sounds to me as though you’ve got a broken/loose wire in either the DVX recepticle, which seems unlikely, or the connector for your controller,which seems more likely.
I think you’re on the wrong track with the notion that “cleaning” will help. My money is on the connector for your remote.
Have you ever walked away from the DVX with the controller still in your hand, only to be tugged back to the DVX like a dog at the end of his leash?
Good luck,

Good thoughts but the remote is fine and it stays attached to the panhandle. The problem is in the socket but you are right that cleaning doesn’t help. I’m thinkin’ I’ll have to live with it till I get a new camera I don’t think it would be worth repairing.
Thanks!
