Hey all,

Been using Magic Lantern for a while now but new to the forums. I just upgraded from a T2i to a 5DMkII. I'm a video journalist and monitoring my audio is a must. I used to use the USB to 3.5mm adapter by Sescom on my T2i but now that I've got a 5DMkII I need an A/V out solution. I know Sescom sells the A/V out cable, but it seems like I could easily find an alternative for less than $25. That said, I know it *is* a specific cable that I need so I want to make sure I've got the specifics. Is it a 3.5mm TRRS male jack to 3.5mm TRS female? That is proving hard to find at the moment... all I'm coming across is 3.5mm TRRS to 2.5mm TRS.

Has anyone found a good solution? Thanks!
