Sounds like the extension cable is a mono TS cable, not a stereo TRS cable. With a mono cable, only the left channel in the camera will record as that is the signal that is on the T(ip) connector.
The Videomic is a mono mic but its cable ends with a TRS stereo plug with the tip and ring shorted together so the mic signal will go to both the left and right channel in the camera. Using a mono extension cable will put the signal on the left channel only, shorting the right channel to ground at the camera.
