Default Video/TV input plug for RNS-D

I seem to have an ongoing problem with the Video/TV input to my RNS-D. It's used for the reversing camera and Freeview TV.
Basically the **** thing comes loose and loses the input, usually starting with the sync. There is no "clamping" mechanism unlike most of the other connectors.

So, I'm looking for a solution, ideally a new (tighter fitting) plug that I can either graft on to the input lead or a short M-F lead to act as an extension.

It's a rare/unusual/weird 10-pin (plus shield) DIN-style female socket and male plug (bottom right here). (NOT a mini-DIN, it's full-size!)


Any thoughts or suggestions?
