Looking for SMALL compression spring latches

[Mike-G]

Hi all.
Hope someone here can help me with this one. When I built my video camera housing, I used Nielsen Sessions HC83314-42LALBSS compression spring latches (you can see them here) http://nielsen.smartcats.com/sc_app/default.asp?pagetype=filter&famid=100 . While these have been great for the housing, they are too big for the video light battery pack I am now designing. If you have a housing / battery canister ... with small compression spring latches and you know the manufacturer, would you please post it in a reply (pic's would be great also)? I will also post this on the UW photo forum. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Did you try Ikelite?

RCONTRERA,
Good Idea. I looked on IL's site and could not find anything so I wrote them a note. Hopefully someone else on this site will come with a latch manufacturer's name for me.

Thanks,
Mike
