B&H site says that safety cable has been discontinued - is there an updated part number from B&H?

Get picture hanging wire and make one yourself. Just wrap some of the extra cable and secure with Gaffers tape. I used 100lb wire and made 4 cables for cheap. My Grandmother (RIP) made shell plaques that weighted a ton and used this stuff to hang them with no problem.
Bump because this is a good thread to keep around. Does anyone have a picture of the safety cable in action? They don't really come with instructions, and it appears to be self-explanatory, but a picture is worth a thousand words they say.
"the Avenger" D230 - Super Clamp Grip Headhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/124734-REG/Avenger_D230_Super_Clamp_Grip_Head.htmlI'm thinking of trying one of these to clamp from an overhead light bar. The clamp is a little pricey, but should allow me to fabricate an extention bar on the cheap (parts list = a 5' length of pipe, a 3/8" bolt, 2-part epoxy & some black spray paint).

Rather than using pipe you might consider aluminum tubing, You can get it at almost any hardware store. Much lighter weight. You might also consider drilling a couple of holes where you epoxy the bolt in so that the epoxy have a better grip on the tubing. If you go with tubing you might wedge a short piece of dowel rod in the end that gets clamped so that it doesn't crush.
