But I wonder about the durability of that ribbon cable over time (moving the camera around
from scope to scope, putting it away, the like).
I would not count on it working for long if the cable is bent or fiddles with a lot. You would need to create some permanent camera case design so that the CCD / ribbon cable is secured (i.e on a boom or some such device) so that it doesn't get bent back and forth. That's why cables wear out.
