Product Information

Full details

This Kondor Blue coiled camera cable is designed for videographers and photographers who need a reliable, clutter-free connection between their camera and an external monitor. Its primary benefit is the coiled design that prevents excess slack, ideal for dynamic shooting scenarios. A potential caveat is the limited extended length, which may not suit all setups. This high-speed cable supports 4K resolution at 60Hz, 18Gbps bandwidth, and 3D video, featuring both Micro HDMI and full HDMI connectors for versatile camera-to-monitor or vice-versa connections.

FAQs

What is the maximum length this cable can extend to?

The Kondor Blue KB-MC-FHDMI-12-BK coiled cable extends from its base length of approximately 12 inches to a maximum of 24 inches.

Can this cable be used to connect a laptop to a monitor?

This cable requires a Micro HDMI port on one device and a full HDMI port on the other. If your laptop has a Micro HDMI output and your monitor has a full HDMI input, it can be used. However, most laptops have full HDMI or USB-C ports, making this cable less commonly applicable for standard laptop connections.

Does this cable support HDR (High Dynamic Range)?

The product information specifies support for 4K@60Hz, 18Gbps bandwidth, and 3D video. While HDR requires significant bandwidth, explicit mention of HDR support is not provided in the product details.

What is the difference between Micro HDMI and full HDMI?

Micro HDMI is a smaller version of the standard HDMI connector, often found on compact devices like cameras and tablets. Full HDMI is the standard, larger connector found on most TVs, monitors, and computers.

Is this cable suitable for professional video recording?

Yes, with its 4K@60Hz, 18Gbps bandwidth, and coiled design for clean cable management, it is well-suited for professional video recording and live monitoring applications.

How should I maintain the coiled nature of the cable?

Allow the cable to naturally recoil when not fully extended. Avoid storing it tightly wound or in ways that could stress the coil or internal wires. Gentle handling will preserve its coiled functionality.

Troubleshooting

No signal detected on the monitor.

Ensure both Micro HDMI and full HDMI connectors are securely seated in their respective ports. Verify that the monitor is set to the correct input source. Check that the camera is powered on and outputting a signal. Test with different HDMI cables to rule out cable failure.

Flickering or distorted video.

Confirm the cable is not bent or kinked excessively, especially near the connectors. Ensure the cable's extension does not exceed its 24-inch limit. Verify that the connected devices are capable of handling the signal resolution and refresh rate. Try a shorter extension if possible.

Cable feels stiff or difficult to extend.

Allow the cable to rest at room temperature for a while. Gently ease the extension rather than forcing it. Coiled cables can become stiffer in cold environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces cable management issues with its coiled design.
  • Supports high resolutions (4K@60Hz) and high bandwidth (18Gbps).
  • Offers flexibility with Micro HDMI and full HDMI connectors.
  • Compact and manageable for on-the-go production.

Cons

  • Extended length is limited to 24 inches, which might be insufficient for some wider setups.
  • Coiled cables can sometimes add a slight pull if overextended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the Micro HDMI port on your camera or camcorder and the full HDMI port on your monitor or recording device.
  2. Connect the Micro HDMI end to your camera and the full HDMI end to your monitor, or vice-versa, depending on your setup.
  3. Gently extend the coiled cable to the required length, ensuring it does not exceed its maximum extension of 24 inches.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with any camera or device featuring a Micro HDMI port and any monitor or device featuring a full-sized HDMI port.
  • Ensure your devices support the video resolutions and refresh rates (up to 4K@60Hz) transmitted by the cable.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When not in use, allow the cable to naturally coil; do not force it into a tightly wound state.
  • Clean connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty.
  • Store the cable carefully to prevent kinks or damage to the internal wiring.
