Re: Wires Pull Themselves Out

On the side of the mount there are holes, I removed the plastic casing from around the wires, pushed it through, and stuck them back in the plastic casing. Then I placed it on the board. This means they get less movement at where they are attached at the board, thus meaning they don't fall out. Then to the computer, I have it attached along the way with a tie-wrap from where the camera is positioned, so it should not fall out, if it does we have a serious problem.

Since mine is tilt only these days, I don't really have to worry about the pan causing tension, as the tilt amount is not enough to get it the cable to accidently fall out.

Hot gluing anything is not what I would suggest, but if it works for you, good luck with it.
