This dongle hides behind the name "Camera Adapter", as if it were a mere tool for camera enthusiasts. I don't care about cameras at all, I've used this to:
- Attach a USB keyboard for use with my iPad Pro
- Connect a Blue Yeti USB Microphone to my iPad and record vocals
- Attach a USB MIDI Controller which then seamlessly hooks into Garageband's Synth instruments
- Connect to a USB-to-Ethernet hub and download stuff to my iPhone/iPad over Ethernet
- Oh, by the way, that hub I mentioned has 3 USB ports on it, I can connect stuff to **all three of them** and download over Ethernet at the same time.
- And yeah, maybe I'll try it out with a camera someday when I'm done rocking out with all these other peripherals... I wonder if I could plug in an Electric-Guitar-to-USB adapter...
Anyway, this thing is insane. You might have an awesome iPad, but until you get this, you're not using it right.
Accept no substitutes.

Got this working eventually, needed to use a powered hub with the particular usb device (Modal craft) I was wanting to use.
Whether it’s genuine or not, it works 100% like the current version Apple sells for quite a bit more money and I ended up returning and keeping this one.
