I wonder if you could advise me on how I can create a flexible cable so that I can move the screen away from the body of a RCA VHS-C Auto Shot 400x Digital Zoom camcorder. I am building a interactive sculpture and would like to move the screen about 6 feet away from the camera. I took the unit apart and there is flat flexible printed circuit cable connecting the unit and the 2 ½ screen. The 3/8 transparent plastic cable has about 20 tiny printed circutes going into flat mini connectors.
Is it possible to purchase lengths of such cables and connectors or
make a flexible cable with the printed circuit?
Or, just finding another unit and take the male and female connectors and somehow adding fine copper wires to make a long enough cable. Of course I am worried that the extra wire lengths will create too much resistance to transmit to the screen 6 away. Also, soldering the copper wire into such fine mini connectors seems pretty difficult.
Looking for any ideas, thanks Vashember
