Apple USB C to lightning dongle with lightning camera kit

edited September 2023 in Hardware

I got a new iPad Pro with a USB C connector. I already own the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter from my old iPad. As anybody tried to use it with the USB-C to Lightning Adapter ?

It would be cheaper than buying the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.

    Here’s the dongle hell I am talking about. Anybody tried it ?

  • What are you connecting to your iPad with this dongle? Now that you have a USB-C iPad, you may be able to plug it in directly, without any dongles.

  • I would get a USB-C hub/dongle with a USB-C PD port to plug-in the charger…
    If simultaneous charging is not needed a simple USB-C to USB-A cable/adapter should be enough.

    USB A HD, mouse, hub, midi controller

    Not sure I have much faith in third party USB-C PD. Many people around here have killed their iPad using them. I would rather stick to Apple's.

    I count a few unlucky individuals at MAX, that's hardly 'many'?!

    I've personally had ZERO issues with USB-C PD when using quality cables.
    The 7-in1 LinQ 'dongle' I use has so far been super stable in everyday use.
    (Believe me, if sh*t breaks for me I get VOCAL about it).

    Considering the USB-C -> Lightning female adapter is NOT designed for charging using it with the CCK3 and feeding it with +20W could even create more havoc...

    USB-C has been around long enough and getting quality products (stay away from the super cheap crap) things should work just fine.

    If this was a 'major problem/issue' there would be thousands upon thousands of articles written about it with a following class action lawsuits demanding refunds from Apple!

    The likely cause of the problems here is NOT USB-C PD by definition but the cheaper chargers that have been used.

    I'd still get a quality USB-C Hub/Dongle in favor of an 'Apple Dongle' with one USB-A Port...
    ...and if I was really paranoid an Apple Charger...

    But the choice is naturally up to you.

    Cheers!

    If you’re plugging in a bunch of stuff, then a USB-C hub with PD is probably the way to go.

    One thing to bear in mind with your two-dongle idea is that the USB-C-to-Lightning adapter may be USB2.0 (Maybe not, but check first). That would limit the amount of stuff you can connect to the USB-A hub I’m assuming you will attach to your dongle chain.
