Sony Handycam 8MB Memory Stck

I have a 16" 2021 Macbook Pro and am trying to find a way to import videos from some old memory sticks. I have a SanDisk slot on my Mac, but it doesn't fit this stick. I have not found an adapter that has this size slot. Can anyone help and if so provide a link?

Thank you so much!

You need an external card reader. None of the ports on your Mac (or any recent Mac), nor its built in SDXC card reader, can read that Memory Stick directly. But there are many external card readers that can read it. Some are able to read many different types of cards, but look for MS or Memory stick among the cards listed that they can read.

To connect the external card reader to your Mac, look for one that has a USB-C connection. Alternatively, a USB connection will work but you will then need a USB to USB-C adaptor so it can connect to your Mac's ports. Apple sells those in its stores (or its online store).
