Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Camera and camcorder owners who want to play footage on a TV
Raspberry Pi Zero W users and anyone with a mini HDMI port on a small PC or graphics card

Skip it if

Your device has a micro HDMI port, which the maker says this cable does not fit
You need a thin, very flexible cable for a camera rig

What owners like

BlueRigger HDMI cables are seen as good value and perform like much pricier cables
Picture and sound quality are reported as solid for everyday TV and gaming use

Common complaints

The cable can feel stiff near the connector ends
Some buyers are wary of how low the prices are compared with other brands

Based on HotHDMICables' review of BlueRigger's standard HDMI cable and an AVForums thread on the brand; no independent review of the mini HDMI version was found, so these are brand level themes.

What it does

A 6 foot cable with a mini HDMI plug on one end and a full size HDMI plug on the other, for connecting cameras and small devices to a TV, monitor or projector.

Fits cameras, camcorders, pico projectors, NUC desktops, some graphics cards and the Raspberry Pi Zero W
Rated for 4K at 60Hz with HDR when both the source and display support it
Metal housings on both connectors
Supports Ethernet over HDMI and Audio Return Channel
Backed by the maker's lifetime warranty

A good low cost choice for hooking a camera, camcorder, Raspberry Pi or graphics card with a mini HDMI port to a regular display. The trade-off is that independent reviews of this exact mini HDMI version are hard to find, so the case rests on the maker's specs and the brand's reputation for its standard HDMI cables.
