The XTENDER® (X-ODHL-100) HDMI Lock was made specifically for the Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+ and Apollo recording systems. This durable lightweight device weighs less than an ounce. It attaches to the pre-existing threads on the right side of the Odyssey 7Q+ and Apollo housings and won't impede any other ports. You can continue to use the Odyssey Sun Hood with it as well.
