Micro Usb Cable For Charging And Data

[0.03 lb] Needed this for charging from a micro-USB cable. Works great for that.

[USB-C Male] I recently upgraded my phone, which meant that my dozen-odd USB-to-microUSB charging and data transfer cables were suddenly semi-useless. In the interest of not spending a ton of money on replacements, I instead got this adapter, which seems to work well. Data transfer goes smoothly, and as does charging. (So far, at least. I'm still testing the charging.) I plan to keep it with my computer for data transfer so I can use the cable that came with the phone for charging, since it seems inclined to kick up a fuss if I do otherwise. Overall, it's a solid choice, and I may get more later if my rate of acquisition of devices requiring USB-C connections outpaces my rate of new cable acquisitions.

[0.9 oz (25.5 g)] Besides compact, it also has USB-c and micro-USB ports for charging! It was excellent!

[Front] This is my first non-Fuji autofocus lens. I researched the crap out of various new 3rd party lenses before making this purchase, and was *still* pleasantly surprised by the image quality, low light performance and rendering. I love shooting at night and this lens does NOT disappoint. Both manual and back button focusing are a breeze, and the autofocus works quickly and quietly. The only negatives: A stepless aperture ring on a fly-by-wire lens is useless on a Fuji camera -- especially for video, as exposure changes aren't smooth.. ever. But that's Fuji's issue, not the Viltrox. The ring is stiff enough to avoid accidental changes most of the time.. but I would have preferred incremental half-stop clicks. The other negative is purely aesthetic -- the Viltrox doesn't look as cool/retro as Fuji cameras and some of their primes.. so in a way this lens looks *decades* newer than my X-T3! Also, when updating firmware, be sure and purchase a USB micro *data* cable. I have about 10 USB-micro cables around the house, but NONE worked because they're designed for device charging rather than data transfer. I almost returned the lens before I figured this out.

[Adapter] I use it to connect a flashdrive to the micro-usb charging port on a Toshiba Encore tablet.

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

[Large Diaphragm] I was about to return this mic; condenser mics are sensitive to a fault, and this one would only work connected to my computer, not to either of my name-brand powered USB-3 hubs. Condenser mics do require more power than a dynamic mic (many require separate phantom power), and USB-3 standards compliance is the wild west, so the only surprise here is that I wasn't warned. I ordered two Xcellon 7-port hubs from B&H despite not knowing the brand, because of their stellar reviews and dual data/charging ports. The Blue Yeti Nano works flawlessly through one of these data/charging ports. It has the heft and appearance of a $600 mic from yesteryear. I then recorded my voice through both this mic and a Samson mic, and my voice sounded much richer through this mic, with fuller bass. Zoom has reasonable audio filters, so I'm defying advice to only use a condenser mic in a treated room, because I love how I sound through this mic. Call it vanity; is there also a web cam that could make this old geezer look attractive?

[Adapter] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Supports USB 3 data speeds & fast charging. Good strain relief at the plugs — I use this with my iPad Air to connect to a hub, so it gets moved around a lot. A previous cable from a different manufacturer very quickly frayed in this use, but this one is perfect so far.

[6 x 4.5 x 0.2"] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect length for charging my devices that still use micro USB like my Bluetooth speaker. Connecting ends are very sturdy and don't bend. Charging end snaps in well and doesn't move. 5 of 5 stars easy.
