No, it will not as the Note has a 5-pin micro USB port whereas the Note 2 has an 11-pin port. I tried the Smart Dock tonight with my S3, which has the same port as the Note 2, and it didn't even work there.
I expect firmware update will fix it for the S3, since it has the same port, but I think the hardware difference will prevent this being an option for the original Note.
I have a HDMI cable that works perfectly in a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Note II, so I was certain there would be no problem using it on the Galaxy Camera, but it seems to be a proprietary port which is a fraction smaller than a micro USB.
I am a bit angry about this, as it means a (probably expensive) Samsung branded cable needs to be purchased. Considering how expensive the camera is, Samsung should have at least provided one.
The other problem is finding a retailer that sells one. I can't seem to locate one as yet.

Hi there, with regards to the HDMI port on the Samsung Galaxy Camera, I believe it is using a standard micro-HDMI sized connector. These ports have been in use on Android devices for a while now so you should be able to pick one up for a reasonable price rather easily. Here is an example of a cable that should work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-HDMI-...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e6125af08
Good luck in your hunt!

Thanks for the info, I guess I was so used to a phone's multi use Micro USB socket I forgot that the camera has a separate HDMI socket and that it's pretty much standard! Doh!
I shall now buy a cheap one off eBay.
Thanks again.
I bought on ebay an HDMI cable compatible with GS2 and Note, but with gCam does not work. Does anyone know tell me a compatible model, tried in person? Thanks

I know that Samsung HDMI cable are not compatible betwwen S2/Note and S3. I believe Note 2 and Galaxy Camera use same new format that S3 and it's probably why it doesn't work for you. but not 100% Sure.

Samsung uses 3 different types of connectors in their devices.
there's the regular mhl connector used in the note 1 and S2 which I think is a 6pin connector.
The note 2 and S3 use a Samsung mhl connector which has 11 pins and also allows you to use usb for sync/data transfer while outputting video.
and there's the regular old standard micro sized HDMI port which is used in the galaxy camera.
It's a tiny little port next to the battery, which requires a $0.50 adapter plug to get a full sized HDMI cable plugged in, or you can just use a cable with HDMI micro on one end and full sized HDMI on the other.

Hey guys.
I think the motorolla lapdock would actually work pretty well with the galaxy camera

read what they said for the s3

What you think guys ?
from what I can tell, it should work fine.
your biggest issue would probably be how to attach the dock to the HDMI and usb ports without breaking off the connectors.
the only reason there's a problem with the galaxy s3 is because it uses the same port(usb) for usb-otg and hdmi(mhl), but the galaxy camera has separate ports.
works in the technical sense, display mirrors but is crushed so it looks like dirt. Same issue I have with the Note II
was not able to get the keyboard/trackpad to work.
have to fish out my samsung OTG adapter and try again.
I want to buy this MHL cable on ebay but I am not sure if it works on the note 2. I asked the seller and he told me no, it doesn't work but I don't really trust him because this cable work on S3/S4 and note 3, why not work on note 2 as well?
See the link for more info:

Thank you
Hi all. I have a tab s2 on marshmallow, only had it a couple of weeks, and found an MHL cable from a Samsung smart tv I've had a couple of years. I assumed this Samsung cable would just work and I could watch the tablet on the tv. Not so. I'm gutted as my old tablet had micro hdmi so it was painless.
Do I need to do anything to get MHL working? Am I missing something?
Screen mirroring is fine but I've found lip sync issues with sound hence wanting it connected directly.
Thanks in advance. Alan
I know their phones haven't supported MHL for a few generations now, and I'd honestly be surprised if the Tab S2 does.
Of course I've just had my tablet for a week, and don't have an MHL cable, but that's just my thought

Note 4 was the last Samsung smartphone, AFAIK, to support MHL-out. That truly was the last great Samsung device because after that they jettisoned removable batteries, infrared blasters and, for a year, expandable storage. All in the name of saving a few pennies and trying to be hipper and more Apple-esque.
