I can't find one and its been driving me nuts! I need one to tether a camera to a computer, and I've found extending 2 cords together doesn't work - so I need one big cable! basically, a 5m version of this would be great - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/114995539807

thanks for any er…..leads…

EDIT- posters have advised aliepress is the place - will look to get something like this - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003447775463.html

    Does it have to be right angled? AliExpress have plenty of 5m cables like this and you can find right angled cables too that'll cost a bit more.

        thanks but I've had issues when using a short adapter cable combined with another longer cable - the computer still recoginises it but the camera tethering (controlling the camera from the computer) doesn't work, so I think a single cable with the correct connectors is required.

      ideally right angled, as the micro usb goes into the side of the camera, so the right angle points the cable to the ground, instead of poking out sideways - where I find I knock it more with my hands etc, potentially eventually damaging the camera's USB port.

    Sometimes cables arent fully wired to all pins. So the cable you are using to extend might not be fully wired and matching the camera supplied cable.

      ah! that's good to know! Some of my longer cables are older (mini USB!) so this may be part of the issue. I was pretty sure it was working at some point, but something has changed (software!?) or the cables have degraded…

    Yes AliExpress is definetely the place to go. Look also at banggood.com (https://www.banggood.com/search/micro-usb-right-angle-usb.ht…)
