Need USB Cable "Type" for BM Micro Panel!

PostMon Mar 26, 2018 9:38 pm

Hello guys,

I'm sorry Admin's I think I posted this on the wrong forum - it appears I should have put it here to begin with.

Ever since I purchased my Mico panel from Blackmagic I've had problems with the USB connector where it plus into the unit. I have called BM only to find out this is not a stock item. Finally yesterday right in the middle of a job, my trusted wiggle to make it work failed and the editor is now powerless. I called Blackmagic again only to find out 8 months later they still do not have a replacement cable. The tech promised to email me a link in 10 minutes and its been 5 hours. BM tech service is absolutely impossible to get on the phone!

I was told this USB cable is a common available piece however I do not know the correct type. It's looks like a type C. Does anyone know for sure the type so I can order the cable to get back up to speed.

Many Thanks

Mike

It's a normal USB C connector on the panel end.

Thanks guys - I actually had a replacement cable - my GH5 camera came with a Type C cable.

I'm looking to buy a back up cable. Will any standard USB3.0 to USB-C cable do or do I have to buy a specific cable?
