MAX connectivities with Lightning to USB3 adapter 

Guys, with future tests. I noticed that there is high amperage going to iPad when using a single Power bank with 2x 2.4A output at the same time. To avoid this high amperage, just charge ipad and power up the Hub from different power source. 👍

Damn, the most perfect explanation of the adapter on the internet. Thank you!

Maybe the smartest analytic assumption of relevant facts I ever saw on RU-vid. And still simple and comprehensive = a perfect job. I enjoyed that, really 😊👍🏼

This video and your mouse keyboard video answered every question I had. Thank you so much! I’m going to do some version of this for my mom to replace her computer and old iPad at the same time. She only needs a keyboard and mouse and the ability to transfer some files and pictures sometimes. This is definitely the ideal solution for her needs. An iPad 8th gen to go and a computer station to be a little more productive sometimes.

I just bought one of these Lightning to USB3 adapters and was kinda bummed to see it didn't recognize my external SSD. I resorted to using my USB sticks, but now I feel dumb because it makes so much sense that all it needed was a bit more juice! I used my USB hub with an additional 5v power input and it works like a charm!! I confirmed that was the case when I disconnected the 5V power from the hub and my iPhone stopped recognizing the SSD. Thanks a ton man, definitely subscribing!

This is the best video i found for connecting lightning port to a usb hub. Thanks for explaining every possible detail here!

Great Scientific approach. Thorough and well presented. Thank you.

I bought the adapter and a hub and it works really great .

Very interesting video Sir, worthwhile to see all outcomes. It’s absolutely worth the time. Thank you for this wonderful experience and the efforts you’ve made to show us how to do it and make it work. Stay safe and be blessed.✌️ PS. Be aware of the bot 🤖 ( Logan ) in the comments, it’ll change its name and picture regularly.👍

You explain these technical things very clearly und understanably. Thank you so, so much and keep up the good work!

Cheers mate... ordering the lightning dongle right now. I have an m.2 external ssd I bought just to use with my ipad 7. I thought a lightning to usb c cable would do the trick but no luck.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make and share it. Unfortunately I’ve had no luck getting a SD card reader and a SSD to operate together. I can’t work out if it’s a problem with the type of hub or the USB-C to USB-A adapter I need to use to connect everything to my iPhone. So frustrated right now😡

Thanks for the great video. Have you tested the new Uwecan THT-026 Lightning 6-way Docking Station (male Lightning to USB, RJ45, HDMI, charge, SD, and TF)?

Amazing! Thank you so much for making this video! Can’t actually believe the last method would work, but it does 😂 will be using that method! Maybe look in to starting Patreon, I’d love to become your first sub on there!

Very nice and detailed video. Good work.

Hey, Tao! Thanks for this. Would you do a video where you max it that USB hub? I’m talking Ethernet, SD cards and all type As 🤘

Very informative. Thanks for doing this.

Wow!! great work, thanks for the your impressive explanation 👍🏾

Excellent video! I have ipad 9 I just bought and was wondering if I would be able to use the Anker 551 hub stand with it… thanks for the video!

Can i connect a mouse and keyboard to ipad via this usb adapter

How about using cezo dual usb multiport adaptor

Great video buddy, thank you so much.

Very useful video Thank you 😊

Have you tried making long file transfers to see if the connection is stable over time?

Always informative 👌. Thanks for your efforts 🎯

Exactly the information I’ve been looking for 👍 👍

Smooth explanation. But for some reason my iPad shows the drive as “ no name “ and I’m not able to connect more than one.

Hi Tao, thanks for this video. My use case is similar with a newly acquired 10.5” 2017 iPad Pro with lightning port. I wanted to avoid having too many adaptors and dongles, and try to integrate a usb c hub like you used at the end, as it can come in handy if/when I get a MacBook Pro down the line. I mainly wanted to connect my usb microphone for voice recordings, so I need to plug it into a powered hub, then into lightning adaptor as you demoed near the end with the Anker. I’m glad I watched till the end to see that set up, I may try that as I also like Anker products and be relatively future proof with a usb c hub. Oh, lastly a question, with that Anker usb c hub, if that were used with a newer gen iPad Pro that also uses usb c, would the powered hub also have bypass power to power the iPad? I hope that made sense. Cheers from Texas.

This is a super awesome video!

Totally awesome man very very explained ❤

Can I ask you something. It can transfer data from memory card to USB without downloading through iPad

Thank You!

The power you input into the Lightning port of the adapter, where does it go? a. Only to the iPad (charging the battery in the iPad)? b. To the iPad but also to the USB port of the adpter?

Thanks! How test an real USB cam, with this device? I need a third app? Or I need to use Settings?

Question can I get video out form my iPad if I use the Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB C Adapter, using the hdmi out port on hub if I connect everything in the same order as you

Can you please do a similar test with iPhone. I want to buy an external USB C SSD for iphone

what does it mean if it gives error of it uses too much power which usb /flash drives should we use in that case?

I used a RAV power bank, provided power and easy transfer of data from SSD cards?

Can I backup/store my daughters pictures to an external hard drive using this adapter? She’ll be a year next month and have so many memories on my phone that I’m getting replaced tomorrow. Do I need to get one of these?

Can I connect to other monitor and also connect audio interface on the same time ?. Will it work..? Please reply..

Hey man, I have a standard iPad and just bought an Apple USB connector to go with it. Can I connect an external drive to my iPad with this dongle adapter with a batter bank to charge the whole thing like you did with the iPad Pro?

Hello,I bough recently the usb camera adapter from Apple so I could use for videos and songs transfer from my iPad to a usb flash drive. It works perfectly but when I connect my usb to my car so I could listen or watch those files , I see that every file I transferred is duplicated. One file is ok,playable but the second one is not supported. When I connect the usb back to my iPad I see only the one file. How can I stop this ? How to stop my iPad from duplicating the files?

Thank you so much!

I have lighting to usb 3 camera adapter. Is it the same as a standard usb 3?

Really helpful thanks

great video

Hi, I have a question, I have a 2017 10.5 inch iPad Pro, is it possible to connect a USB without an external power at all or do I have to use sd card as that doesn’t require extra power?

Great video! Any media hub (hdmi + charging port + data transfer port) you could recommend to connect to an iphone 8 (lightning)?

can the anker recieve power if the apple lighting module is powered through its own connector via lighting to wall?

Hello Tao, thanks for all your great videos. Im looking to learn if I can connect an Ipad pro 2017 with a lightning connector to a Hub. In order to use a mouse, and monitor. Can you guide me?

My lightning usb does not connect my cannon g10 or my Nikon p950 I followed your instructions from the video and still no success. After connecting my phone or iPad to my camera there should be a screen asking what pictures I want to transfer. No screen appeared on the iPad or phone. When I first connected the lightning USB cord it says something in the effect that it was downloading the software to use my lightning USB cable. Your help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi tao m, Good videos :) Always helpful I have got my ipad 9 gen. Here is what I want to do connect that with my hp dock g5 which has a USB C out for all my devices connected using USB A and HDMI etc. Can you test this for me connect with the above adaptor Lightning --> USB A female --> USB A male --> USB C female --> Connect any USB C male(for my case it is my HP dock G5).. If the above works I do not have to buy another set up as a docking station for using my Ipad for a full desktop set up. Thanks DT

Can you work them all with hdmi monitor or vega?

What an amazing video!! Thanks.. Can I get together usb and Hdm port??

So...,in review, not only does this ugly adapter make your beautiful iPad look like a rube goldberg device, it offers a USB 3.1 port offering nearly no amperage unless external powered. Also... my 2.4 gHz mouse does not always work properly. Add wired headphones though another adapter from Apple and I have wires running everywhere. Just how indifferent and callous can one company be? Thanks for this video, it has given me some ideas.

Hi, I have a question. Do you have a (USB-C to USB-A female) adapter? Would the (Anker hub output USB-C) connected to (USB-C to USB-A female adapter) to (male USB-A to Lightning) to (iPad) work?

Hi, will this lightning to USB3 adapter work with an Epson Perfection V500 scanner to my iPad Pro 10.5?

no one actually thinks this is more complicated than it should... anyone found an alternative solutions? such as NAS?

Very useful!

I would like to fly my Mavic Air 2 with an iphone and Avegant Glyph (hdmi) goggles. Is it possible? I have been asking people for weeks but no one has replied. I think you are the one who knows. The Mavic controller connects with a usb C to the iphone, Could I just plug a hub into the iphone and run the controller and the goggles?

Do you know if it works with a printer ? 🥺, I have an iPad 8 and an epson L3110

Can you use a outlet instead of a power bank?

Can we connect ethernet and audio same time with it does it works?

Does the ethernet on the USB c hub work?

Thanks for all your excellent videos Tao! I have a question - I use my IPad Pro 10.5 (lightning) with an external monitor (HDMI) do you know of a way of being able to use a USB Hub and outputting to an external monitor (HDMI) at the same time? I have seen you previous video where you showed that you cannot daisy chain adapters but wondering if there is another solution? Dave (Perth, Australia)

How about a USB WEBCAM ? Live feed ?

Hi Tao, do you know if it's neccesary to use a Lightning to USB adapter in order to access to a pendrive? Today I tried to make a Lightning to USB female adapter and I couldn't make it work. For that, I cut an old Lightning to USB cable to get the Lightning port and then I attached it to a USB female. I think that if I cut the Lightning port from a Lightning to USB C cable I could probably make it work, because I think that the Lightning to USB C cables have the same MFi certification as the Lightning to USB adapter, which allow the iPad to access to a pendrive, unlike the Lightning to USB cable I used which didn't let me. If you don't want to break a Lightning to USB C cable, you can use a USB C female to USB C female adapter. I would appreciate very much if you could answer to my question by making a video about this topic. The Lightning to USB adapter from Apple is very expensive and it would be awesome to have a Lightning to USB C hub without using any dongles. It requires a little bit of DIY, but I think that if it works, it will be an amazing project to be able to connect a pendrive to an iPad Air 2 without the Lightning to USB adapter from Apple. In case you don't want to cut many cables, you would one need to buy a USB C female to USB C female adapter and then connect a Lightning to USB C cable from one side, and a USB C hub from the other side. Maybe it's better to start this way in order to don't brake any cables, and then go all the way to have only one adapter. I like very much your experiments of connectivities. Tell me if you are going to make this experiment, to try it myself if not.

Hi, Does the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter have to be charged, or is it per mantle powered? Thanks.

There's no such thing as Lightning to USB3 adapter, as Lightning was never updated to USB3

I guess the power meter consumes a tiny bit of power
