Just got the Zst upgrade cable for my Zs5
And as most suggested, I did cut off the plastic tab to get a nice fit..... But here's the thing, now there's a gap which bothers me
I wish I didn't buy them, cuz a week or so after buying these, the Zs5 compatible ones came out (go figures)
Now here's the question: Do I keep it as it is? Are there risks of the thing just breaking due to the gap and me losing my precious precious Zs5 v1 (which can't be replaced). Or am I all good? I am all ears if I can somehow patch things up
Hmmm, I have a number of ZS5 and ZS6 with the braided cable, and they are all totally flush once you cut off the plastic.
Are you sure you got all of the plastic? It’s easy to miss some, especially in the middle between the two pins. Since the plastic is clear, it can be difficult to see. All it would take is a tiny “tit” of plastic around the edge of the pins or in between them to prevent it from sitting flush.
I’ve found that an xacto hobby knife does the best job, because it’s sharp enough to easily cut between the pins to make sure you got everything.
I can post photos if you’re unsure of what I’m talking about.
P.S. - To anyone attempting this, be sure to permanently mark the plug somehow before trimming off the plastic. Otherwise, it’s impossible to know which direction the pins go (and you could easily end up out of phase).
