Title: mini-me power jack
Post by: waltmon on February 09, 2005, 08:18:01 PM: How tightly is the power jack suposed to fit on the mini-me? I am using the one supplied by eco-charge....is that lock down screw next to it supposed to help make the connection a little more solid?

yes. it shouldn't have much play in it, but it isn't real tight unless you use the lock down.

add that with a RA locking power plug (Switchcraft), i'm sure you can shave off a good 3.5" in the overall length of the unit.

ahhh... another project to feed the hobby madness :)
