Need to make my V4 camera's cable longer... Seems to be a JST 2.0mm 6 pin cable... found this on eBay 6pin JST However, it looks like I may have to do some soldering with it. Anyone know of a place to buy a plug and play male/male extension 6 pin 2.0 JST cable?
Ebay is probably your best bet for pre-made ones. Jeremie has mentioned the exact connector type previously, I'll see if I can find the post once I've cooked my steak
I've checked my usual sources and it doesn't look like an extension wire is available. You can get the 6 pin JST PH 2mm plug with wire & bare ends but not a male to female extension.
What I'll be doing when/if I need to adjust the length is picking up two of the housings and building my own wire the length I need it. It's a bit of a pain but at least that way it's non invasive and it's the length I need it.
Cheers

Antron, as above, there is a video about showing a long length and no performance issues somewhere, it'll be on EZ-Robot's youtube channel somewhere
need to beat jeremie!
Or my posts pointing out to build a custom cable with JST crimps and the 6 pin JST PH 2mm housings since none of the usual sources list extensions for 6 pin JST PH 2mm spaced connectors.
@Richard thanks, that's #200
Another solution would be to crimp with through crimps if you want to avoid soldering the joint.
Or just solder the joint and wrap it up in heat shrink.
Just an FYI, the JST crimper does take a little getting used to as the JST terminals are so fiddly. But once you get used to it you'll not regret it
Thanks (and thanks to Jeremie who I didn't notice commented earlier), 200 come around pretty quickly, shooting for 1000 now

It's nothing fancy but the price is right. I usually use the lowest setting to crimp the pin onto the wire and then the largest setting to crimp the back part of the pin onto the insulation.
