Those who built moving applications with the VC cam know that
the very stiff cable complicates the design and limits practical usage.
My opinion is that the LEGO added this heavy cable in order to
avoid interference with elmag noise produced by running motors.
If you look at the VC package box or manual, you will see
a cam with the classic (grey and thin) cable. It makes me think
that the problem with the interference might be discovered
later and was solved by adding that shielded heavy cable. But this is just
my hypothesis.

In several posts people were stating that the Vision Command and Studio
cameras were same except of the cable design.
I wonder if anybody has tried to use the Studio cam with motorised models and
what was the experience. If there were no problems observed, the Studio cam
would seem to be a better choice for advanced robotics projects.

Thanks for replies.

I know the cable is 16 feet on the Vision Command. What is the cable • length
on Studio?

I'd say it was 16 feet also.  However, the Studio camera's cable is not as
heavy or stiff at the VC one.  I'd think it would be better for pulling
behind a robot.  The VC cable is a lot more high tech looking.
