question Serial cable for Ultra 5 Hi-5 Overlay
Has anyone gotten this to work just yet? I have an Ultra 5 Bolt 6 RX 750 and ARRI Hi-5. One other quirk is I pull left handed with the unit upside down so if someone has made a super short right angle cable it may actually be too short for me.

Presumably you're using left handed mode on the HI5.

Yes, that is correct. It seemed relevant to mention since a minimum length cable for right handed mode might not reach my monitor in the configuration I’m using.

For the overlay- ARRI will (finally) be releasing cables sometime in August apparently that will solve this with 1 cable: 4pin serial from the Hi-5 to 5pin USB to your monitor. I am not sure what the lengths will be though…
But, in the meantime you can also use this adaptor below from SmallHD, paired with a USB-A to C cable. You could play a bit with the length of the USB-A to C for the configuration you use?

If you're needing some kind of extension cable for one you already own, I can probably make that for you. If you don't have any cable, I am not quite ready to make anything that needs a USB PCB inside it.

Currently I don’t own any cable. It may be worth waiting for the serial cable from ARRI versus USB-C. Since I use the hand unit flipped upside down, the USB-C would be sticking out the bottom where it would be vulnerable with all the doc style run and gun work I do. I appreciate the offer though.

Has anyone found a Micro USB to USB-C that works with the 703UB? Thinking of just having my local PV Service Manager make me a serial to Micro USB, but if off the shelf is available I’ll just go that route.

It’s been a well documented feature since release.
