Nikon D5200 extension cable?

[swingin]

Does anybody know where I can get a 10' USB cable for the Nikon D5200? I have a 6' now but would sure like a longer one. I don't want to add adaptors or extensions. It's tough to try and follow my camera cable around the mount when slewing. Thank you..

I use  a 15 foot TetherPro USB 2.0 Mini-B 8-Pin cable by tethertools (can be found on Amazon or through tethertools websit) for both a d5300 and a d5500, but it says it is also compatable with the D5200 a bit pricy but I felt it was a better solution then a usb extension cable just make sure you get the mini-B 8-pin not the 5-pin model.

WOW! That is pricy isn't it.. Is that a plug & play type cord? Thank you for your reply..

yes it is just plug and play, simple just replaces the stock short cable and the bright orange version makes it a bit easier to see where the cable is in the dark

Well I just found this so I'll give it a try, in about a month. I can't see paying that much for a cable, then added shipping on top of that :/

It makes me glad that my T5i takes a standard USB mini-B plug!

Yeah I don't know why they all can't make interchangeable cables. Life sure would be easier! Hint Hint, lol. Now I just hope it works, if it does I'll be sure to post..

Just an update from the post above about the extension cable. I ordered it 9-3 for $9.99 and got it today 9-12 not bad coming from Hong Kong, but the kicker is, IT WORKS!!! Sweet saved about $35 or so. So yeah, if your looking for a 13' cable this works for my Nikon D5200 8pin
