Qhy8l

[redfox1971]

Hi should the qhy8l USB cable work with a USB 2.0 extension cable 5 metre one,reason I ask is I plugged in for first time tonight and ezcap software froze when selecting preview or capture and went straight to -37,when I removed extension worked fine?

If it's not a active repeater type USB cable it sounds like it's a tad too long. I use my original QHY8 just fine off the end of 12m+ on an active cable and I make sure it sits in one of the powered (yellow) USB ports. Not had the need to power the hub at the other end either so it must work pretty well.

Thanks for that spikey,I shall try a active repeater usb cable and give it a go,seems strange that my canon 1000d worked fine with the extension cable.
