Gadget Freak

Also Works on Zoom Audio recorders (H1 & H4n)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2016

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

As other reviewers have pointed out this is a great OTG cable for most any device with a mini-USB.

I originally intended to use this for recording with Zoom H1 and Zoom H4n. I used a USB recording App on my Note 5 & Galaxy Tab S2 (tablet), got it to work, but only in 44.1 kHz / 16-bit mode on both my H1 & H4n. It did not present me with an option for 96kHz or 24bit. Both Zooms record 96 kHz / 24 bit, natively. So what's the point of downgrading to a phone/tablet? I'm not a musician, I don't need a mixer, but I guess I could see it as a remote console, but why not let the Audio recorder do what it does best? Record! For me, I can't come up with a good use case for USB recording on a phone/tablet until your phone does 24bit. Anyway, all that has nothing to do with the cable, the cable part worked.

But, what I did discover that's very useful, is file sharing !! In USB file mode, Android maps the drive from the Zoom audio recorder (these models each use 32Gb SDs), and I can upload directly to Dropbox. now that's cool. So, much like camera & photos, but with audio. Hadn't thought about sharing audio files in near real time. They're usually very small, so you don't even need WiFi as long as you don't have video that has to go with it.

Even at the house, with WiFi, I can upload w/o a computer and w/o messing with SD cards. Very Cool.

This Cable is Amazing !!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2014

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

Wow what an amazingly simple solution to a simple problem this cable represents. I wanted to be able to take a picture with my Canon T3i and download it immediately to my smartphone using a single cable between the two without having cards or computers in between. This cable works perfectly to do just that. I plugged one end into my camera and the other end into my Galaxy S5 (love it) and presto my smartphone sees my camera instantly as a folder in my Gallery image application, and all of the images on my camera are instantly available to my smartphone. I can then quickly import any or all of the images on my camera to my smartphone where I can then edit them and email to friends. I'm guessing I'll be able to do the same thing with my Samsung Tab, but i haven't tried it yet (it's 45 miles from me right now). Sorry iphones and ipad users Apple has apparently blocked your ability to do this with a single connected cable, although you can buy an adapter from Apple for $29 that nearly 50% of reviewers say does not work. One more reason to have an android smartphone.

Properly connects many types of DACs to your Android smartphone!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2016

Size: 2m (6.56') - rca plugsVerified Purchase

This type of cable is hard to find and no one ever seems to provide enough info to determine if it will really work to connect a DAC to an Android smartphone. I almost spent $100 ordering a similar one from Europe before I found this for sale on Amazon at a MUCH better price. Well, I can confirm that it works great to connect my Fiio E07K to my HTC One M9 and the quality is much better than the cheap one I bought from a Chinese supplier on Ebay which shorted out every time I flexed the cable. Anyway, I don't know why FiiO claims that their E07K won't work with smartphones -- other than the fact they they are selling a different product targeted specifically to smartphones. But if you're running a recent version of Android and your phone has a USB-OTG port, most external DACs that connect to a computer should work with your Android device. And if your DAC has a mini-usb port and your phone has a micro-usb port, this is the cable you'll need to connect them.

Perfect camera to smartphone transfer cable

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2015

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

I just got it and tried it out for what I bought it for and it worked better than expected. I plugged one end into my Canon Digital Rebel XTi and the other end into my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. (A 9 year old digital SLR camera and a 2 week old smartphone.) I turned on my camera, and the phone automatically recognized it as a camera and asked if I wanted to open it in Camera Importer or Gallery. I chose Camera Importer, and it showed the photos on the camera and let me choose the ones I wanted to import. I selected the 4 test pictures and they transferred in a few seconds. I bought it to bring on vacation with me, so that I won't have to either bring a laptop or wait until I get home to share the pictures. I wish I bought this cable years ago. It is small and thin but it looks like it is made with good quality materials.

The perfect and ONLY cord for transfer from DSLR to phone/tablet....but CHEAPLY made and overpriced

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2015

Size: 1mVerified Purchase

As a pro photojournalist, i need this very cable to quickly transfer photos from my DSLR to smartphone for transmission in the field. I've searched for this very cord a long time, and have even tried other variants without success. Many of them are the right connections, which are MINI-B to MICRO-B USB male connectors, but some cords do not have the needed pins for full data connection, only power.
First of all, this is the very cable you need for that purpose, and at this time there are hardly any other cables that work, so its a necessity.
BUT, it is not perfect, and here is why: its cheaply made, the connectors are very weak and can literally bend with very little pressure. The wire seems OK, but is thin. After bending my first cord, i came back to Amazon to purchase another. Within a few months, this Lindy cord has now more than DOUBLED in price. Shame on you Lindy. Your product is just what i need and there is no alternative and you know it. But it isnt worth double the price for this cheaply made cord. Hopefully someone will give you some competition very soon, and i will heartily recommend them over you.
For starters, a better cord would have right-angle connectors on both ends, and not be so cheap as to fall apart with very little use.

Just like an earlier product above I bought this to connect my DSLR to my phone so I can have a remote shutter and remote live view. Although you can use wireless for some of the DSLRs the speed is not quite the same (its slow to refresh) with this cable the live view is really live and is on my phone. I used it with DSLR remote app and connected it to my galaxy s5 - now I can fully control my camera from my mobile phone.

Also if you have a memory card reader that uses a USB Mini you can also connect it to this cable -- thus your phone can read memory cards.

From a highly reputed brand and it works as intended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 7, 2017

Size: 1mVerified Purchase

Functions as designed and intended although the cabling is slightly thinner than is considered to be ideal. The length will allow a DAP and the amplifier to be located in different pockets when necessary and act as an option to the OEM-supplied 10cm connector. The connections at both ends are positive and strong without being over-tight.

Sold by Lindy who have a reputation for quality and reliability; numerous prior purchases of various cables (Computer, Hi-fi and general purpose) confirm their claims.

Works brilliantly with Android DSLR Controller app - much neater than an OTG adapter and separate cable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 29, 2015

Size: 2m (6.56') - rca plugsVerified Purchase

Purchased to use with the DSLR Controller Android App and my Canon DSLR. Works brilliantly for this purpose with my various phones and tablets. Not sure about the colour coding - does the red plug mean HOST? Or perhaps the red band on the black plug? Fortunately it doesn't matter because it has different plug types and in my application the micro plug always goes in the phone/tablet (host) and the mini plug in the camera.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 4, 2014

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

Works fine - it connects to android micro-usb sockets on my Moto G LTE phone and Nexuse 7 - needs a pit of a push to click it into the micro-usb socket.

I use this short cable to connect a Canon 70D DSLR to a Nexus 7 mounted on the hot shoe so that I can use the "DSLR Controller " app.

If you want to hand-hold the Nexus, you will need to 1m / 2m cable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 14, 2015

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

It took a lot of finding for my Kindle as not a lot of cables like this are available. The OTG is the important part of this cable as a normal cable does not work for transferring photos from a camera to the Kindle.This one works very well, I am happy with this purchase, it was well packaged and delivered within the given times.

Excllent as a DAC to cellphone cable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 26, 2015

Size: 0.5mVerified Purchase

I bought this as a phone to external DAC cable. It works as described. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the sound quality versus other USB cables as I haven't got any. For it's purpose, I wish if it was even shorter, but I'm sure there are other uses which require a slightly longer cable. Overall very happy with my purchase.
