Can the lighting power input be used to power USB devices and passive hub?
I can not figure out the full function of the ligning power input on the camera adaptor?
In description the port is used to power the phone/Ipad.
But I figured out that I can use a midi keyborad or an audio interface with the adaptor. It only works if I use a power source connected to the lightning port (Ipad charger). It seems like the power adaptor also power the slave device (MIDI or audio interface etc.).
Does it mean that I can power a usb hub through the lightning port on the camera adaptor or do the lightning port only charge the iphone/Ipad?- Asked by Keld V

AnswerI have a Go Pro Hero 4 Silver and this cable does not work for transferring pictures from the camera to my iPad air. I get an error saying that the device takes too much power. The lightening to SD card reader will work.

Can my ipad view raw and JPG images directly in camera instead of having to download big files to ipad?
For a new camera like D800, one single raw file is 40-50MB (lossless compressed). I filled up my 64GB card in camera in less than one week during a photo trip. I don't want to fill up my IPAD so quickly!

Does it work for card reader? Coz I have a CF card and some Micro SD cards.
I hava a CF card and some Micro SD cards, can I put them into a card reader then connect with this product?

Best Answer:It depends on the power required. If your card reader has a separate power supply then this should work to access photos in a standard DCIM folder path on your camera memory card in the reader. If the card reader requires power from the USB port then this probably will not work as the lightning port won't supply enough power to operate the reader.

Will this work with USB type B DAC connection?
My home DAC unit has a USB type B connection. Will this cable work to bypass the iPhone DAC? The additional cable to complete the connection would be a male usb A to male usb B.
Someone commented that this only works with a DAC that accepts UPS type A. Not sure why this would be the case.- Asked by Michael C from Fairfax

Answer
Not easily. There are workaround tricks but they aren't worth the aggravation. There are now USB flash drives that use the Lightning port but they are expensive.
