If your camera has a smaller HDMI port you can pick up one of these adapters or get a micro/mini to HDMI cable. (make sure to check because there are different smaller sizes!):

Micro HDMI to HDMI (looks a bit like micro-USB) – https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapter...

Mini HDMI (about the size of a USB-A plug) – https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Compati...

Tip: When you connect your camera and record in Detail, make sure to set the frame rate to 30 FPS (PAL). Detail records in 30 fps, so a different frame rate results in lag or lower quality video.
