Easy to make. Markertek and others carry the materials if you are in the US. With Neutrik or Switchcraft connectors, and mogami cable, you can put together an 8 ft cable for $15.

I've looked around the Marketek website and found a lot of stuff. what specific connectors and cable do you recommend?

 

Is this mini xlr connector ok?

I have no idea which cable would be best either

 

Sorry I'm such a noob at this

That switchcraft mini-xlr should be just fine. I like mogami 2893, just double up two of them for the ground.

that cable looks a bit thick. Would this 3.5 mm jack work

It is a bit thick, but very flexible. It fits fine into the mini-xlr you linked above. You can also strip off the rubber insulation on the outside, and cover it with paracord, making it even more light and flexible.

 

That Rean/Neutrik would work, but I prefer the Switchcraft ones: http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-Adapters/Audio-Connectors/3-5-2-5mm-Mini-Connectors/Switchcraft-Corporation/35HDBAU.xhtml
