Questions & Answers for Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter

Nope! Unfortunately not. With the USB camera adapter, the iPad will automatically scan for images within a DCIM folder (standard folder where images are stored on cameras and memory cards) whenever anything USB is connected to it, so it'll pull that and only that. Which I find kind of crazy especially since Apple is trying to tout the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement product in the new commercials... But that's another rant for another day.

This adapter will work with most all audio I/O interfaces including your focus rite. I've actually used the older standard usb adapter with an xbox 360 usb microphone and it worked. I've used it with a 4ch yamaha mixer as well as an Audio Technica AT2025 usb microphone. The previous model did not have the lightning power pass thru and had issues with some devices wanting to mucher power. Luckily this adapter came.along and it solves those issues..

GarageBand as well as pretty well most all other audio related apps have perfect recognition and input/output use of the devices connected.vis.the adapter.

As long as your keyboard doesn’t draw much power (backlit or built in USB ports ext.) this should work perfectly for you, I use it all the time for keyboards. Also when flying once you put you phone in Airplane Mode you can then go back to the Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth back on without effecting the aircraft as it’s the cellular signal not the Bluetooth signal that interferes with flight systems.

I learned that the lightning port is only for power under the worst way !!!

I have an iphone 7 were the screen went black, so I hooked it through a lightning to HDMI to my TV and I could see the iphone unlock display but of course I could not enter the unlock code touching the glass so I plugged the lightning side of the lightning to USB 3 adapter to the lightning port of the HDMI port and a keyboard to the USB 3 port.

Lo and behold, the data from the keyboard going out on the lightning to USB adapter didn't reach the iphone because the lightning port of the HDMI adapter is only for power and the same goes to the USB 3 adapter.

Unfortunately the engineers who designed both adapters never though that limiting the lightning port use for providing only power was not a good idea !!!

If some one could design a smart lightning hub, that would be great !

Yes, it does. Tried and tested. You can do sampling in Garageband if that’s your thing.

I recommend the Apple USB Ethernet adapter. For the record, it is not a Gigabit Ethernet adapter.

You can find the following text by searching for an Apple help article with the title `Use Apple USB camera adapters with other USB devices`:

Yes. It works great. The fact that this is possible is why they don't sell the 29W USB C power brick with a USB-C to USB-C cable by default.
