Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig 3042B Ultra-Slim 4K HDMI Cable is an essential tool for videographers and content creators who require reliable, high-resolution connectivity between their cameras and external monitors. Designed for compact camera rigs, its standout feature is the exceptionally thin 3.6mm diameter, which provides unmatched flexibility and cable management in tight setups. While it offers excellent 4K performance at 60Hz, its 35cm length is specifically optimized for on-camera monitoring and may be too short for studio setups that require extended distance between devices.

FAQs

Does this cable support audio transmission?

Yes, as an HDMI 2.0 compliant cable, it supports both high-definition video and multi-channel audio signals.

Is this compatible with my Sony A7III?

Yes, the 3042B is fully compatible with the Sony A7III and most other Sony mirrorless cameras that utilize a Micro HDMI port.

Can I use this for 120Hz recording?

The cable supports 4K at 60Hz. While it may work for lower resolutions at higher frame rates, it is optimized for 4K 60Hz performance.

Is the cable shielded?

Yes, it is designed for reliable data transmission, but like all thin cables, it should be kept away from high-interference power sources.

What is the connector type on the camera end?

The camera end uses a Micro HDMI (Type D) connector.

Troubleshooting

No signal on monitor

Ensure both ends are firmly seated in the ports and verify that your camera's HDMI output settings are correctly configured for external monitoring.

Intermittent signal loss

Check that the cable is not under tension; if it is pulling on the port, use a cable clamp or tie to secure it to the cage, as Micro HDMI ports are sensitive to movement.

Display artifacts or flickering

Unplug and reconnect both ends. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp 90-degree angle, which can compromise the data signal over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely flexible and lightweight design
  • Supports high-resolution 4K at 60Hz
  • Compact connectors avoid blocking other ports
  • Includes cable management solution
  • Compatible with a wide range of popular mirrorless cameras

Cons

  • Short 35cm length is not suitable for long-distance runs
  • Micro HDMI (Type D) connector is more fragile than full-sized HDMI
  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor cabling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your 3042B cable, always avoid sharp bends near the connector heads. When setting up your rig:

  1. Insert the Micro HDMI (Type D) end into your camera first.
  2. Connect the Full HDMI (Type A) end to your external monitor.
  3. Use the included cable tie to secure the excess length to your camera cage, creating a loop to prevent tension directly on the camera's micro-port.

This cable is compatible with any camera utilizing a Micro HDMI output, including the Sony A7R IV, A6500, and various FUJIFILM X-series cameras. Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use to maintain the integrity of the internal wiring.
