I would like to use a Samsung smartphone as an external viewfinder for my Nikon D3200 DSLR. I understand that this is possible but try as I may, I am unable to find an adapter converting a male USB2 to a male HDMI in order to connect the two devices. Can anyone advise if such an adapter can be obtained and if so where. Many thanks.
 
A copy of the user manual is here: https://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D3200_EN.pdf

The section on connections to other devices starts on page 111 but I can't see anything about live view to another device. The HDMI link specifies a cable with type C mini-pin HDMI connections.

Many thanks for your reply and link Andrew. I have now found a cable with a micro USB to HDMI which will do the job - Unfortunately it's 10ft long. I only require 6ins at most..
 
Better than needing 10' and only being able to get 6"!
