I am always trying to find ways to help myself better with tech things. So what did I pick up?
Picked up
I picked up a Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter.

What did I need this for?
Need it
I thought that since I have a monitor, I could hook up my camera to it so I could see what I am recording on a bigger screen.
So this hooks to my Canon Camera via the mini HDMI side, then I hook the HDMI cable to the adapter, and then the other end goes into the monitor. It makes it great to use.

The only downside is that you will need power to power the monitor.
