Thin Micro Usb Data Cable

[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.

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

[Black] This is a very thin and flexible cable and works well. With a cable like this, it's less likely to damage the tiny micro-HDMI ports on devices and you can move devices around without jiggling the plug and losing connection.

[0.045 lb] The Elvid Hyper-Thin 4K Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable provides me the solution for delicate devices such as the Canon EOS R3’s Micro HDMI input. Because it is so thin and flexible, it is much better than a conventional HDMI cable as the wire part of it can risk much more damage if accidentally pulled. Well, you don’t want that to happen at all, but, just saying. One cable I don’t like are the coiled types, which do nothing but stress the ports. This cable is also HDCP compliant so you can use this cable for copyrighted sources other than just your camera’s video signal. How I use this cable: 1- Steadicam 2- Gimbal (they also make even shorter cables of the same exact type if you prefer for this scenario) 3- On camera monitor. I have included pictures with this review showing the full 4K resolution on my ELVID STV-280-4KHDR Monitor that this cable is capable of. See pictures. So, 4K capable, nice and thin and it is very flexible. Every time I use a cable as described above, I always prefer the thin type. It just works better and reduce stress and cumbersomeness.

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).

[60 W] By far the best and most reliable USB to Micro-B cable I've found. Frustration takes a back seat to quality.

[0.085 lb] This card reader makes it so easy to take data off of my micro-SD card.

[5 to 36 VDC] The cable is thin and does its job.

[0.39 lb] I like this cable. It does what I needed for. Thin....
