mtg has been powercrept into hell, and all those crossovers are just moneygrabbing slob

i think i found it: https://pinoutguide.com/DigitalCameras/micro_usb_8pin_camera_pinout.shtml

non standard micro usb 8pin, check the site if your camcorder is on that list

it also kinda looks like a 8 pin variant of the usb mini a-b connector,

regarding your point 1: that is actually incorrect, take for example the sm7b (the big black tubular “radio mic” that is quite popular among youtubers) it is has a cardoid characteristic, so it basically picks up basically everything to its left and right as well, which is the same pattern as the “default rock mic”, the sm58. the main advantage for those bigger microphones is, that you can make them sound very clear and beautiful with less effort than a smaller (maybe even dynamic) microphone due to its higher sensitivity and more linear frequency response.

i bet it is nothing but worthless gold, not a drop of latinum in it

pictures?

i would love to see that castle
