  • High-quality components ensure durable professional connections

Camera control cable

The 10-pin to 3-pin Fischer cable connects Preston MDR-3 and MDR-4 motor drivers to Arri Alexa, RED and Sony VENICE cameras. It delivers both power and run/stop signals over a 60 cm length. The assembly uses a 10-pin BFGG 1B male connector on one end and an ARS 3-pin male plug on the other. Each unit is 100% continuity tested before shipment.

Thermals noise and power

The cable is a passive interconnect with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and produces no audible noise. Power drawn by the camera and motor system passes through the conductors without added resistance beyond the wire itself. No external power supply or cooling is required for the cable.

Build integration

The 60 cm length suits typical rig-to-camera distances on professional cinema builds. The 10-pin male connector mates directly with Preston motor driver ports while the 3-pin Fischer plug fits industry-standard camera run/stop sockets. Builders needing a different reach must order a custom length, as only the 60 cm variant is stocked. Not suited for cameras lacking a 3-pin Fischer run/stop input or for motor drivers without a 10-pin BFGG 1B output.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 10-pin BFGG 1B plug to the Preston MDR motor and the 3-pin Fischer ARS plug to the camera?

Align the keyed 10-pin BFGG 1B male connector with the Preston MDR-3 or MDR-4 motor port and push straight in until it seats; then align the 3-pin Fischer ARS male connector with the Arri Alexa, RED or Sony VENICE run/stop port and push straight in — forcing either connector off-axis bends pins.

What wear should I watch for on the 60 cm cable and connectors over time?

Inspect the 60 cm jacket for kinks or abrasion near the strain reliefs, check the 10-pin and 3-pin Fischer contacts for bent pins or corrosion, and verify the latch on each plug still clicks securely — replace the cable if continuity drops or the latch fails.

What is the first limitation I will hit when running the cable continuously on set?

The 60 cm length is the first practical limit — it restricts camera-to-motor placement, so plan rig geometry around that fixed reach before shooting.
