A cheaper option from Jaycar, and I've had two of these now (only replaced the first because I stepped on it and broke it!) is this:

uses a cigarette lighter port but it's been rock solid.

edit: about your extension cable though.. how long is it, and what else is connected? First thing to test before spending any money would be to see if you can connect your power supply to another socket and test if it works? Setup the mount indoors and test it out?
Great to know thank you! It does look similar to that one at Jaycar the one I have.

It's 20 metres and I have an Intel NUC plugged in as well for my rig.

Yep, I might do just that this weekend. Going to have some rainy weather so it might be a good test to plug it straight on its own and see if anything happens.

Thank you!
