Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter

Works perfectly and got it at a.greaat price... Authentic Apple product

I got this to connect my iPhone 11 to Cambridge Dacmagic 100. Works great. Excellent build quality (Apple). I saw many cheaper knock-offs but didn't want to take the chance.

works fine. No problems

Before you make this purchase, keep in mind this it was designed and advertised to connect to a CAMERA. If you’re buying this to connect to an unpowered device like a thumb drive or card reader, it WON’T WORK. The lightning port was never really designed to provide the 5 volts most USB devices require. The device you’re adapting to must have its own power source (like a camera has batteries). I’m using it for my J-Lab USB microphone for YouTube using a powered USB hub to provide power to the microphone and it works like a champ! I got both this and a hub for less than $40. Worth it considering what I paid for the microphone.

So, got this to plug in a USB microphone. Bought brand name on purpose. Would not power my microphone. It’s a let down, but my fault. Maybe it will come in handy for something else? I guess I’ll find out.

Kids, this is the real deal. People make fun of Apple and their overpriced dongles, but this thing is magic. No really, I can't think of another tiny piece of hardware that has so drastically expanded what I can do with a single port.This dongle hides behind the name "Camera Adapter", as if it were a mere tool for camera enthusiasts. I don't care about cameras at all, I've used this to:- Attach a USB keyboard for use with my iPad Pro- Connect a Blue Yeti USB Microphone to my iPad and record vocals- Attach a USB MIDI Controller which then seamlessly hooks into Garageband's Synth instruments- Connect to a USB-to-Ethernet hub and download stuff to my iPhone/iPad over Ethernet- Oh, by the way, that hub I mentioned has 3 USB ports on it, I can connect stuff to **all three of them** and download over Ethernet at the same time.- And yeah, maybe I'll try it out with a camera someday when I'm done rocking out with all these other peripherals... I wonder if I could plug in an Electric-Guitar-to-USB adapter...Anyway, this thing is insane. You might have an awesome iPad, but until you get this, you're not using it right.Accept no substitutes.

After returning the grey-not-white Omar lightning keyboard, and a used Macally white-but-not-working keyboard (ebay), I decided to see whether I could use one of my white/aluminum-silver mechanical keyboards with my iPad via this connector. It works! And it is awesome to type in full-size-keyboard heaven on mechanical keys (E-Element z-77 from Amazon) to take notes in OneNote, write email, fast-enter into Omnifocus, etc. with complete kinetic comfort!Even better, I have also tested it on iPhone 5s and iPhone 8 Plus - success!It also hooks into an older rubber dome usb keyboard and does fine with all three devices as well.The only issue - and I think this is true across the board - is that when the devices' battery life drops into the 60% range, they are apt to turn off the keyboard for drawing too much power. I found that if I unplugged and replugged it in, and typed more slowly, I could continue using it into the 50% range at least. I haven't pushed it further, usually I finished what I was doing and didn't need to go further (courtesy of faster data entry with a keyboard and touch typing skills).I will be trying a powered hub situation next, and a splitter.For people who need to use electronics, but want a little less EMF/less Bluetooth, having a way to enjoy the functionality of portable iOS devices with some buffer distance, this adaptor plus a keyboard is really nice.

I bought this after trying a cheaper brand adapter that only worked about 25% of the time. I can't get this to work with my iphone at all. It keeps giving me errors that it requires too much power when I plug in a simple USB thumb drive. I have had so many problems with Apple and this iphone that I never had in almost 15 years of using android phones. I guess this will be my first and last iphone since they try to make everything much more difficult and illogical as possible.
