For what it's worth to add to the discussion, I use two of the gimbal extenders daisy chained together frequently and they work fine, I have not had any of these issues.
Actually, I use it with the Osmo Pro and the X5 camera. The gimbal extender doesn't officially "fit" that camera, and the locking ring is too tall so I had to remove the locking ring and grind it down to fit (just like people were doing with the Z-Axis arm to use with the X5 before DJI made one specifically for it).
I will say that I could NOT use the longer Kamerar cable daisy-chained with a DJI one. I tried that because it was a bit longer (and cheaper) than the OEM cable from DJI, but it did not work. It would power up the camera fine, but the camera would go crazy and violently shudder and flop around in the gimbal. However, two DJI cables chained together work fine.
I had been temped to cut and splice a cable to make a longer length just as was mentioned above... but I didn't know how many wires were in there (the thought of 20 hair-width wires scared me), and I didn't know the maximum length I could go. Good to know there are 10 of them... I don't think I'd be up to soldering 20 wires, but 10 I could probably handle. BUT it sounds like I'm already operating at the maximum length that I can get anyway, without doing some kind of voltage-boosting voodoo.
Thanks for the info, good stuff.....
