Review Apple Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter (test with my iPhone 12 Pro Max) 

I also got the lightning to camera cable today, and also faced the same questions you found. Some said we need to format the disk to ext. style.

One lesson I learned with adapters. Never use generic.

Hard drive doesn’t work because for HDDs the spin up current required is higher than the limit apple set for USB-otg. I’m not sure about USB-C iPad pros but for lightning devices it is the case. There is no way to connect a portable hard drive to lightning USB-otg. alternatives are using USB power data splitter cable and get power from somewhere else, powered HDD which really is just what I just said, or an external SSD with less current requirement Tested max current I can obtain from the iPad is ~170mA, the sample rate of usb tester is not great and error margin is ~10mA, but with that amount of current it won’t even maintain an already spun hard disk or most of SATA and PCIe SSDs.

6:10 I know this video is old but you can use a external hard drive if you have a powered usb hub or use another usb hub with power delivery port and have it plugged into a power bank.

Can i use portable dac amp with charge my iphone in the same time?

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

for hard drive, I suggest try format as FAT32/ExFAT. For my previous experience with apple/mac, usually they dont do well with NTFS storage (which the the most common formatting for window external hard drive.

Very important question for me. Does the update prompt when you first plug the camera cable into the iPad update the entire IOS. I need to use the adaptor but I also have to keep the IOS from like 6 years ago. Thx!

What about a Headphone DAC amp ?

Iphone Can format the usb? Can take a photo or video and send immediately tu usb? In this case, which is Better, adapter camera 3 or adapter with sd card?. Regards

I have the same problemI have the same problem with my iPad. How can I solve the issue. Thank you

Does it support fast charging?

You need a power Hub other then this connector charging cable for hdd beacuse they need more power around 5watt to start working and hdd goes upto 12 watt, but the SSD will work with this lightning to usb adapter you also have to power the secondary port with lightning charging cable to power up SSD

Please answer my question coz I’m about to order this. Will Apple’s `lightning to USB cable’ (1m) which is around 1800rs help me shift my data from iPhone to a pendrive??? Please reply coz I’m irritated getting memory full notifications

Is that included to charge also?

Do you know if the iPhone 12 can use USB 3.0? I'm getting very low transfers speed with my adaptater copying videos from my iPhone12 to an high speed Samsung USB 3.0 stick (on the PC I get 110 mb/s write speeds, on the iphone just 7 mb/s) Thanks.

What is the iOS version required for this process?

Hoping this will help me power my usb Blue Yeti Microphone when filming with my iPhone, still unsure, fingers crossed it works!

Hard Disk Drive not getting detected in iPhone because the default format type will be NTFS. If you reformat it as ex-FAT or FAT partition type it will be working.

can you use the usb port for headset/mic ?

which pendrive is the best and can have 1 tb of data for transfering to and frm iphone!!

did you solve it? you were missing a hub with power delivery with a power bank - then the drive will spin

Hello everyone. Did everyone try this device with an SSD? (Because the usb Flash drives and SSDs are similar to operate as structure and non-moving parts inside)

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?

I found a possible fix for if an SSD Drive is not recognised. I plugged in my Samsung T7 SSD drive, and it was not recognised. This is how I got it to recognise the SSD drive: I plugged in a USB flash drive which it recognised, I then unplugged the USB flash drive, and when I plugged in my SSD drive it now recognised it. I have a iPhone 13pro max 256gb
