USB cable for Vivitar Vivicam 5388

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to buy a USB cable but can't find one that's compatible with the 5388. Those on E-bay tend to be compatible with models 5385 and 5386 but don't mention 5388.

Has anybody got a USB cable for sale (It looks like a mini 8 pin) or can you confirm whether the 5388 uses the same cable as the 5385 and 5386.

USB cables tend to be pretty generic. I'd take it into somewhere like Bardwells on London Road and see if they have a cable that fits.

Google image search the differences between MINI and MICRO USB. Although I think there are actually three types of "small" USB connector.

As said, USB cables are generic.

Mini is on the left. Micro is on the right.

I already have a mini and a 4 pin micro (not 5 pin as shown in your photo). As they are supposed to be generic and the socket has 8 pins I have ordered an 8 pin micro off E-bay and await the outcome with fingers crossed.
