I was wondering if anyone could tell me the maximum length for a composite/RCA type video cable. This will be between a Sony Handycam and a 3" color handheld TV. The longest cable for sale I have seen is 50', but even if there is some distortion, I am hoping most of it won't be visible on such a small screen. Ideally, I would like to go approximately 100' or more total. If you need any more information, please let me know. I haven't found anyone, anywhere that has a clue about this. Thanks in advance-

Ok, 300 meters with RG59 cable, but how far with like 18ga 2 conductor, or something equivalent (read: cheap)? I have a 30+ ft one made up right now from 16ga, and I don't see any interference. The TV screen is only 3", so I definately won't notice much, even it it is there. thanks again-

I asked this question last week, but unfortunately didn't get quite all of the information I'm looking for.
Someone told me that the maximum distance Composite Video Signal will travel is 100 meters over RG59 cabling. I'm looking for the maximum distance over say, an 18ga pair of stranded copper. Hopefully it will be > 100 ft.... The output is from a Sony Handycam to a 3" color handheld TV. Obviously, even if there is a small amount of distortion and/or static at that distance, it won't be visible on such a small screen. Thanks in advance-

ooops, 100 metres of RG59 composite video cable - not cheap little phono cables (RCA) !
100 meters is fine without any additional amplification devices!
