The cable that I'm running from the power station is the cigarette-socket thing that came with the HEQ5. It's probably as short as it'll ever get, unless I found a way of mounting the power station on the tripod somehow.
I chopped the 2.1mm/5.5mm plug off to fit an inline fuse and a new plug that fits my home-made power distribution box. (The fuse is probably redundant, but I'd prefer not to fry all my gear if something does go wrong.)
One thing I did notice about the power station is that it only puts out ~10.5 volts when there's no load on the 12v socket. I was preparing to take it back as faulty but everything seemed to come out ok in the end.
Cheers,
V
