Unable to connect my VIRB Ultra 30 to my new MacBook Pro M1+

I have a problem with my VIRB Ultra 30 camera that I have tried to fix for hours today. 

I recently switched my old MacBook Air with standard large USB ports with a brand new MacBook Pro M1+ with Monterey, and only USB-C ports.

So I bought a USB-C to USB mini cable off Amazon (this one), and expected my Mac to communicate with the VIRB. But it only charges. The cable should be fine, because I am able to connect an old eTrex VISTA to my new Mac with no problem. With the VIRB Ultra 30, it doesn't show up in Finder and doesn't appear in Garmin Express. So I have formatted the SD card thinking that's the problem. But no solution. So I tried to connect the VIRB with the same cable to a DELL Windows 10 PRO laptop and THAT worked.  So definitely the cable is ok.   I downloaded Virb Edit on the PC and that worked with my Ultra too. So what's going on with MacBook Pro M1+ and Monterey and VIRB Ultra cameras ????
