An "angled" minijack adapter for Ronin-S Control cable

Bonjour !

The Ronin-S gimbal can control the Lumix GH4 using the bellow cable that plugs into it via a 2.5mm minijack with 3 rings :

Because of balancing needs of my rig, this minijack can't fit between the camera and the tilt arm of the gimbal, unless I find a "bent" adapter from the camera to the DJI cable. I'm thinking of an adapter in this style :

But as you can see, this is just a regular stereo adapter with 2 rings.

Here is the question :
Would the connection work if I find any 3 rings adapter in this style or is it a really specifically DJI/GH4 custom system which won't work even with a 3 ring adapter ?

Merci a lot

You could buy a 2.5mm right angle connector and 2.5mm female connrlector and make your own cable, but I think it would be easier to buy 2.5mm to 3.5mm right angle 4-pole adapter (a bunch available everywhere) and then 3.5mm to 2.5mm 4 pole adapter (also available) as I could not find 2.5mm to 2.5mm right angle 4 pole adapter.
