Reddit reviews Camera Extension Cable (PS4)

I bought mine on Amazon. It's a PlayStation plug, so you need one that works for their peripherals. It was $30.

Just had a look, it's more than most vr games to extend that thing, £23 on amazon:

Is this what you are looking for? You might get it cheaper if you shop around.

Same seller in amazon us:

Pretty easy find but whatever. I hope OP doesn't get the wrong idea from you.

I've been using an camera extension cable for months without an issue. And no it's not a USB extension cable, there are two companies that have made them I think, the one I got was Camera Extension Cable - PlayStation VR (PS4)

As far as I'm aware there is only one extension, from previous threads it was hit or miss if it worked.

Read the reviews in Amazon?

There is a functioning camera cable on Amazon but its spendy, gives a ton of reach to the camera though. Heres a link to the cable:

I did a test of the cable here and it worked really well:

The vr cable cant be extended yet but a few tricks to get extra reach:

1. Remember the processor box doesnt need to be near the ps4. You can get a longer USB cord or even just reach the stock one as far from your ps4 toward your play area as possible and this will add a few feet.
   
   
2. The camera doesnt need to be near your TV so you can face angle it a different way to try to maximize your space away from the TV.
   
   
3. Having your back almost to the TV while playing, if possible with camera position and play area, can make it seem much more roomy as you wont lose the cable length that's basically winding behind your back.
   
   I've tried everything to maximize my play space so feel free to ask me any other questions.

Here's one from Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Calibur-11-220033-Camera-Extension/dp/B00JFX1IHM

And this one is coming out soon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01M00U2CI/ref=pd_aw_sim_63_1/261-8885733-4864243?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SQGW9J5V20F3AK15WM1X&dpPl=1&dpID=71ssFDm2xsL

Keep in mind that once your PSVR is all configured for the first time with your PS4, you no longer have to worry about your TV location at all, as there really is no need to have it connected to your PS4/PSVR setup anymore unless you plan on still using the TV for PS4 flat gaming with the best possible picture.

There is a 3rd party extension for the camera, but unfortunately multiple extension cables cannot be linked together. So you can only go with one extension cable for the camera.

You know what they say about assuming

Extension cables exist:

I just got one today and it works just as you'd expect.

It’s more than enough space for beat saber. Shit I could play sairento with this space ( sairento is awesome )

You should put the camera above the bed if possible. And play facing the headrest of the bed with your back turned to the tv ( this way you won’t hit the tv by accident) If you end up stepping to close you will feel the bed with your leg. You can also lean in for extra distance in melee games.

Remember there are extension cables for the camera. Like reaaaaaally long ones.

Or the psvr and PS4 don’t have to be plugged to tv at all. You can put them anywhere.

That’s if you want to stand of course. If you are ok playing sitting it’s much easier to play in a small space and you don’t have to have the camera high.

Putting the camera on the tv ( stand is included with all psvrs ) and sitting on the bed will be fine for Skyrim or borderlands or anything really. I know people who have less space and they made it work.

There is a sony original extension cable for ps4 camera although pricey. 2meters for 30 eur, basically 40 usd for 6 feet.

They have a cable on Amazon, I bought one, but have yet to need to use it. It has mostly "expensive but works" reviews.

I have this one and it works great

There seems to be only one manufacturer left that actually sells them anymore, for quite a chunk of money.. but it works fine for me.

> is there an offical ps tripod?

Nope, but I have this one and use it with new camera:

Also have such a cable, but from eBay:

I used these items from Amazon:

Tripod Mini Ball

Universal Smartphone Mount

Camera Extension Cable

8 ft. Lighting Rig Stand


The tripod mini ball attaches to the lighting rig stand, and the smartphone mount attaches to the ball. I expand the clip to fit the PSVR camera with its' plastic stand folded into a "]" shape and lock it into place. You can probably build something similar for cheaper but I didn't think this was too bad. The extension cable helps for more complex setups where being compact isn't necessary or isn't possible for whatever reason.

Grab this one, I got one a few weeks ago and it works great. There's some available on Prime by the looks of it, make sure you click the "New from..." link

you can get an extender https://www.amazon.com/Camera-Extension-Cable-PS4-playstation-vita/dp/B00JFX1IHM

I got this one for $30: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FZTUJBK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But Amazon no longer has it. Works great. Find it somewhere else?

I see other cables like it on Amazon. This one has good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Camera-Extension-Cable-PS4-playstation-vita/dp/B00JFX1IHM#customerReviews

Maybe others on Amazon with more reviews?

I am in the same situation, and haven't heard anything formal yet. However, I have seen that the UK version of Amazon is listing an extension cable with a release date of Sept 25. Amazon UK. So I am not sure if that is official, and if it will be available and/or work in other regions.

Basically the issue is two-fold. The camera cable has a proprietary plug, so someone would have to either license it from Sony or reverse engineer it. AND, it is a powered cable, which is why some people who have tried splicing it themselves have failed. The power can't go further than 3 meters or so, without an additional power source.

Did you use google anytime?
