Hi all,

I hope this is the right place to ask this but I’ve got on of those mini cameras that has a D shaped socket for connecting to a PC but it doesn’t seem to be any of the current ones. Is this an ‘original’ type of micro USB port and if so where can I get one?

Thanks

Jules

 

Hello,

It does not look like USB. USB usualy has 4 connections, the one you show seems to have more connections.
Here is an info page on USB:

And here an image of the connectors:

Thanks.

Perhaps it’s one of those FireWire type cables used with mini camcorders. Whatever it must exist somewhere.

Yes that looks like it. You reckon they should be available on eBay or similar?

Thanks

Hello,

It also does not match a FireWire connector:
