Can a camera Mic port provide enough 'Phantom' power for RP2040?

Thought crossed my mind, can we power the Pico (or other board) from the 'phantom power' provided via camera's mic port?

If so, we could make 'pico-timecode' into a dongle to plug directly in. Once sync'ed it could remain attached to/power by camera.

There is this small variant of a Pico board, which can also run micro-Python.... https://www.pishop.ca/product/tiny-2040-2-mb/
