- Exciting experiment with Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 adapter.
External SSD, external HDD, USB stick, powered USB hub, USB C hub, usb mouse and other devices were plugged in to try if they work or not.It is interesting to know the power output from the USB port on the adapter, and to understand what is happening when other usb devices plug into it.

Guys, with future tests. I noticed that there is high amperage going to iPad when using a single Power bank with 2x 2.4A output at the same time. To avoid this high amperage, just charge ipad and power up the Hub from different power source. 👍
Can you backup iPhone photo to USB drive? I don’t find this type of video online, please make one. My parents iPhone keep getting full because of taking too much photo. Using computer to backup just too hard for them. Don’t like iCloud hard to get photo out.
Can you test the possibility of connecting apple usb-c cable to usb-c female - usb-c female coupler and use all mac accesories with iphone?
@@jakeliujakeliubrother did u find anyway of backing up apart frm pc?
Damn, the most perfect explanation of the adapter on the internet. Thank you!
Maybe the smartest analytic assumption of relevant facts I ever saw on TH-cam. And still simple and comprehensive = a perfect job. I enjoyed that, really 😊👍🏼
I just bought one of these Lightning to USB3 adapters and was kinda bummed to see it didn't recognize my external SSD. I resorted to using my USB sticks, but now I feel dumb because it makes so much sense that all it needed was a bit more juice! I used my USB hub with an additional 5v power input and it works like a charm!! I confirmed that was the case when I disconnected the 5V power from the hub and my iPhone stopped recognizing the SSD. Thanks a ton man, definitely subscribing!
This video and your mouse keyboard video answered every question I had. Thank you so much! I’m going to do some version of this for my mom to replace her computer and old iPad at the same time. She only needs a keyboard and mouse and the ability to transfer some files and pictures sometimes. This is definitely the ideal solution for her needs. An iPad 8th gen to go and a computer station to be a little more productive sometimes.
This is the best video i found for connecting lightning port to a usb hub. Thanks for explaining every possible detail here!
Great Scientific approach. Thorough and well presented. Thank you.
I bought the adapter and a hub and it works really great .
which adapter brand & which hub brand did u buy?
@@gypsiesoulatheartthe adapter should always be on the apple store, anything else can have a risk of not working after updates
You explain these technical things very clearly und understanably. Thank you so, so much and keep up the good work!
Thank You!
Thanks for the great video. Have you tested the new Uwecan THT-026 Lightning 6-way Docking Station (male Lightning to USB, RJ45, HDMI, charge, SD, and TF)?
Can i connect a mouse and keyboard to ipad via this usb adapter
How about using cezo dual usb multiport adaptor
Cheers mate... ordering the lightning dongle right now. I have an m.2 external ssd I bought just to use with my ipad 7. I thought a lightning to usb c cable would do the trick but no luck.
Thanks! How test an real USB cam, with this device? I need a third app? Or I need to use Settings?
Very nice and detailed video. Good work.
Question can I get video out form my iPad if I use the Anker USB C Hub, PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB C Adapter, using the hdmi out port on hub if I connect everything in the same order as you
I have lighting to usb 3 camera adapter. Is it the same as a standard usb 3?
The power you input into the Lightning port of the adapter, where does it go?
a. Only to the iPad (charging the battery in the iPad)?
b. To the iPad but also to the USB port of the adpter?
Have you tried making long file transfers to see if the connection is stable over time?
Can I ask you something. It can transfer data from memory card to USB without downloading through iPad
In the scenario at 12.15, will the hub able to handle hdmi to cast screen to another monitor or screen?
Hi,
I have a question. Do you have a (USB-C to USB-A female) adapter?
Would the (Anker hub output USB-C) connected to (USB-C to USB-A female adapter) to (male USB-A to Lightning) to (iPad) work?
@ S P
I am confused. If I understand it right, why don't you use usb-c to lightning cable? FYI, usb-c to usb-a adapter supports power pass through.
@@TaoMStudio Sorry, I was not clear.
I am trying to use wireless mouse on ipad 10.5 using the same Anker Hub you are using.
Connecting the mouse and the iPad to the two USB ports does not work.
Are you suggesting I should use USB-C female to Lightning adapter maybe?
@S P
1. USB-C port on the hub is for PD input only( power delivery charging)
2. Lightning to usb3 adapter and Anker hub need to be used together, and hub needs power input(that is what the PD input port for)
So, the answer to your original question is NO.
Hope this is clear.
Tao M Studio very good. Thanks
@S P 👍
Hi, I have a question, I have a 2017 10.5 inch iPad Pro, is it possible to connect a USB without an external power at all or do I have to use sd card as that doesn’t require extra power?
@Luca Intelligenza Hi, you have to use lightning to sd card adapter
Can I connect to other monitor and also connect audio interface on the same time ?. Will it work..? Please reply..
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?
what does it mean if it gives error of it uses too much power which usb /flash drives should we use in that case?
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make and share it. Unfortunately I’ve had no luck getting a SD card reader and a SSD to operate together. I can’t work out if it’s a problem with the type of hub or the USB-C to USB-A adapter I need to use to connect everything to my iPhone. So frustrated right now😡
Can I backup/store my daughters pictures to an external hard drive using this adapter? She’ll be a year next month and have so many memories on my phone that I’m getting replaced tomorrow. Do I need to get one of these?
Hey man, I have a standard iPad and just bought an Apple USB connector to go with it. Can I connect an external drive to my iPad with this dongle adapter with a batter bank to charge the whole thing like you did with the iPad Pro?
@J.E. Nickerson
You will need a powered usb hub, then you can connect external drive to it.
This is a super awesome video!
I used a RAV power bank, provided power and easy transfer of data from SSD cards?
Very informative. Thanks for doing this.
Which stand you are using for the ipad, can you give me link to buy that?
Can we plug flash drives directly on apple usb 3 lightning adapter?
Can we use external bluetooth/wireless using that thing?
Does the ethernet on the USB c hub work?
can the anker recieve power if the apple lighting module is powered through its own connector via lighting to wall?
Great video! Any media hub (hdmi + charging port + data transfer port) you could recommend to connect to an iphone 8 (lightning)?
Can you work them all with hdmi monitor or vega?
Very interesting video Sir, worthwhile to see all outcomes. It’s absolutely worth the time. Thank you for this wonderful experience and the efforts you’ve made to show us how to do it and make it work. Stay safe and be blessed.✌️
PS. Be aware of the bot 🤖 ( Logan ) in the comments, it’ll change its name and picture regularly.👍

Hi, will this lightning to USB3 adapter work with an Epson Perfection V500 scanner to my iPad Pro 10.5?
My lightning usb does not connect my cannon g10 or my Nikon p950 I followed your instructions from the video and still no success. After connecting my phone or iPad to my camera there should be a screen asking what pictures I want to transfer. No screen appeared on the iPad or phone. When I first connected the lightning USB cord it says something in the effect that it was downloading the software to use my lightning USB cable. Your help would be appreciated.
Hi Tao, thanks for this video. My use case is similar with a newly acquired 10.5” 2017 iPad Pro with lightning port. I wanted to avoid having too many adaptors and dongles, and try to integrate a usb c hub like you used at the end, as it can come in handy if/when I get a MacBook Pro down the line. I mainly wanted to connect my usb microphone for voice recordings, so I need to plug it into a powered hub, then into lightning adaptor as you demoed near the end with the Anker. I’m glad I watched till the end to see that set up, I may try that as I also like Anker products and be relatively future proof with a usb c hub. Oh, lastly a question, with that Anker usb c hub, if that were used with a newer gen iPad Pro that also uses usb c, would the powered hub also have bypass power to power the iPad? I hope that made sense. Cheers from Texas.
HI, the USB C hub has power pass through to charge USB C iPad.
A USB gaming headphone works with mic??
Can we connect ipad to laptop using anker hub and transfer data to n fro??
Excellent video! I have ipad 9 I just bought and was wondering if I would be able to use the Anker 551 hub stand with it… thanks for the video!
Totally awesome man very very explained ❤
Very useful video Thank you 😊
Wow!! great work, thanks for the your impressive explanation 👍🏾
Can you use a outlet instead of a power bank?
Great video. Very informative….
Does this also work with iPad 8th generation? sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, I just wanna make sure
@Hernando Chandra Yes
does ethernet port on usb hub work ?
Hi,
Does the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter have to be charged, or is it per mantle powered? Thanks.
Sorry, typo! or is it permanently powered?
@Richard Sacher For most the devices connected to it, YES.
@@TaoMStudioSorry, I'm not understanding your reply, lol! Do you mean yes, it has to be charged, OR yes, it is permanently powered?
@Richard Sacher For power hungry devices ie hard drives, be sure to use a power usb hub or it won't work. For less power hungry devices, ie usb, mouse, ethernet adapters, be sure the adapter is powered. Hope this is clear.
@@TaoMStudio Thank you!
Thanks for all your excellent videos Tao! I have a question - I use my IPad Pro 10.5 (lightning) with an external monitor (HDMI) do you know of a way of being able to use a USB Hub and outputting to an external monitor (HDMI) at the same time? I have seen you previous video where you showed that you cannot daisy chain adapters but wondering if there is another solution? Dave (Perth, Australia)
@Dave L
Hi, there are some adapters support both. But none of them supports HDCP( copyrighted contents). I have not tested them yet. Here is one of them: amzn.to/2y03r4Y.
Tao M Studio Thanks Tao, I’ll have a look if they are available through Amazon Australia, although the example you sent does say they will ship here. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Dave
Just checked Amazon AU. The only similar adapters are USB c and not lightning. Also, looking again, the link you shared from Amazon UK will not ship to Australia :-( I wonder if I bought a USB c adapter and one of those lightning to usb c plugs that you were using, do you think it would still work?
@ Dave L
That's too bad. If you find a adapter, most likely it will only support charging or data sync. Lightning and USB-C use different protocol.
@Dave L
or try this from Aliexpress: bit.ly/2Z03aKe
Do you know if it works with a printer ? 🥺, I have an iPad 8 and an epson L3110
Can you please do a similar test with iPhone. I want to buy an external USB C SSD for iphone
Works for iphone?
hi, wish to ask if you have tried [Anker USB-C hub + Type-C Female to Lightning] connect to iPad, is HDMI & VGA works ?
@wong qianyaw Hi, I have not tried the adapter yet. But it will most likely not work. I will most likely only support charging not syncing, because of MFI issue and completely different pin outs on both adapters.
@@TaoMStudio ic, thank you for your advice
Great video buddy, thank you so much.
Always informative 👌. Thanks for your efforts 🎯
@ footagehead45

Hello Tao, thanks for all your great videos. Im looking to learn if I can connect an Ipad pro 2017 with a lightning connector to a Hub. In order to use a mouse, and monitor. Can you guide me?
what if you first unplug the Ipad, spin up the external hard drive with lightnining adapotor or external power en than plug it in to the Ipad or Iphone?
Smooth explanation. But for some reason my iPad shows the drive as “ no name “ and I’m not able to connect more than one.
Hey, Tao! Thanks for this. Would you do a video where you max it that USB hub? I’m talking Ethernet, SD cards and all type As 🤘
I would like to fly my Mavic Air 2 with an iphone and Avegant Glyph (hdmi) goggles. Is it possible?
I have been asking people for weeks but no one has replied. I think you are the one who knows.
The Mavic controller connects with a usb C to the iphone, Could I just plug a hub into the iphone and run the controller and the goggles?
@ gareth5000
Sadly NO. When the controller is plugged in, the lightning port(on your phone) is used for controller. When the Avegant Glyp plugged in with HDMI to lightning adapter( the adapter has to be powered), then lightning port is used for goggle. So, ONE thing at a time. A hub will not work, because the USB port on the Apple Lightning to USB3 adapter does not support video out. Important: the extra lightning port on the adapter is for charging only. This video explains it: th-cam.com/video/_BASZ5BCEmw/w-d-xo.html. Hope this helps.
Can projector be used with ipad 8gen?
Exactly the information I’ve been looking for 👍 👍
If my hub has a hdmi will my monitor work ?
Hello, it's posible use the multiport type C hdmi, USB whit a convertor to lightning? And use the hdmi port and USB at the same time?
@ Emmanuel Valdez HDMI port on the type c hub will not work.
@@TaoMStudio crap :( I'm teacher and bought the iPad 7 10.2, I want try use the hdmi for presentation and usb for the pointer to move the presentation :'(
@Emmanuel Valdez Try this one(HDCP not supported): amzn.to/2Lv9z8c. I have not tested it yet, but hopefully soon.
@@TaoMStudio thanks a lot, it's the one I'm looking for ..... but I'm from Mexico 🇲🇽 jajaja I'll look if Amazon can send over here
Awesome content man! I picked up the first 12.9" iPad Pro back in 2015 and it's been so cool seeing it evolve over time. Finally ordered myself the USB 3 adapter to see if I can record multi track drums onto the iPad and to play with some midi keyboards. I'm also looking at picking up the Yamaha BT01 to send wireless midi to the iPad. Your videos have been really helpful! Excited to see iPad OS 14 on my iPad soon!
Would SEAGATE Gaming Portable Hard Drive for Xbox work on Lighting to USB 3 adapter?
Can we connect ethernet and audio same time with it does it works?
in iphone 14
Really helpful thanks
Hi Tao, do you know if it's neccesary to use a Lightning to USB adapter in order to access to a pendrive? Today I tried to make a Lightning to USB female adapter and I couldn't make it work. For that, I cut an old Lightning to USB cable to get the Lightning port and then I attached it to a USB female. I think that if I cut the Lightning port from a Lightning to USB C cable I could probably make it work, because I think that the Lightning to USB C cables have the same MFi certification as the Lightning to USB adapter, which allow the iPad to access to a pendrive, unlike the Lightning to USB cable I used which didn't let me. If you don't want to break a Lightning to USB C cable, you can use a USB C female to USB C female adapter. I would appreciate very much if you could answer to my question by making a video about this topic. The Lightning to USB adapter from Apple is very expensive and it would be awesome to have a Lightning to USB C hub without using any dongles. It requires a little bit of DIY, but I think that if it works, it will be an amazing project to be able to connect a pendrive to an iPad Air 2 without the Lightning to USB adapter from Apple. In case you don't want to cut many cables, you would one need to buy a USB C female to USB C female adapter and then connect a Lightning to USB C cable from one side, and a USB C hub from the other side. Maybe it's better to start this way in order to don't brake any cables, and then go all the way to have only one adapter. I like very much your experiments of connectivities. Tell me if you are going to make this experiment, to try it myself if not.
@ Victor Santibañez
Hi, Victor. It is neccesary to use a lightning to USB OR USB-C to lightning adapter to access pendrive. And they are very cheap on ebay.
@ Victor Santibañez
But what I am more intested in is the Lightning to HDMI+Lightning to USB3 adapter output at the same time with HDCP support. This will be a long term project for me, so if you are intested please stay tuned.👍
Ok, thank you 👌
@@TaoMStudio I'm extremely interested in this as well! I've thought about using the Lightning to USB3 adaptor going to a USB/HDMI/Ethernet powered USB hub. Then you could theoretically get HDMI output from an iPhone or iPad to a HDMI TV or monitor. I want to view my iPhone on my TV and use a USB device at the same time, such as a class compliant USB-C audio interface. I just purchased the MOTU M2 and already have the MOTU M4. I know both will work with a powered USB hub (5v minimum) connected to the Lightning to USB3 camera adapter that apple makes. What I have yet to try is a USB hub that has Ethernet and HDMI.
Also, I wonder if you plugged the Lightning to USB3 camera adaptor into the the powered USB hub (with USB-C ports, then plug the USB-C AV multiport adaptor into that, would it work? If the powered hub includes Ethernet and HDMI already, we can certainly use the Ethernet out of the hub. Then we can try using the USB-C AV multiport adaptor into one of the USB-C ports of the hub. Maybe then, the HDMI would work, along with any devices plugged into the powered hub?
Rob I'm also looking for using same time USB drives and HDMI. If it works it will be so good. BTW can I use Lightening to USB 3 adapter for HDMI connection to external monitor. I don't want to pay twice for HDMI adapter and Usb adapter. They are expensive from apple.
does everything that work on iPad work on iPhone 12 as well you think
@ bendybenny D
with a powered hub for power hungry deives, yes.
Hi Tao, thanks a lot lot for sharing, very very informative video, I was looking for this kind of info I didn’t find anywhere, I am using I pad air 3 & I am an TH-camr use only my iPad for everything and running out of space so I need a external memory device where I can use for video archiving as well as for regular use with connecting to iPad and use it with Lumafusion. Which ones would be good seagate HDD or Sandisk SSD or Samsung t5 ssd please Suggest it will help me a lot
Thank you so much!
great video
Could you please tell me what will be the transfer speed.
@ adeel zafar
It would be difficult to determine. It will also depends on what kind of media you want to transfer to, HDD? SSD? USB sticks, usb3.0? usb2.0? In a nuts shell, if you want to faster transfer, then external SSD is your best choice. Hope this helps.
@adeel zafar
Here is the test.
Test result between USB3 stick and external HDD both connected to powered USB3 hub. Transfer file size 549MB, time measure in MM:SS.
iPad=>HDD "01:38"(~5.6MB/S) ; iPad=>USB STICK "04:04"(~2.25MB/S) ; USB=>HDD "00:51"(~10MB/S).

Hi tao m,
Good videos :) Always helpful
I have got my ipad 9 gen. Here is what I want to do connect that with my hp dock g5 which has a USB C out for all my devices connected using USB A and HDMI etc.
Can you test this for me connect with the above adaptor Lightning --> USB A female --> USB A male --> USB C female --> Connect any USB C male(for my case it is my HP dock G5)..
If the above works I do not have to buy another set up as a docking station for using my Ipad for a full desktop set up.
Thanks

no one actually thinks this is more complicated than it should... anyone found an alternative solutions? such as NAS?
Amazing! Thank you so much for making this video! Can’t actually believe the last method would work, but it does 😂 will be using that method! Maybe look in to starting Patreon, I’d love to become your first sub on there!
@ Maarten
You're welcome😉 and thank you for the encouragement.
So...,in review, not only does this ugly adapter make your beautiful iPad look like a rube goldberg device, it offers a USB 3.1 port offering nearly no amperage unless external powered. Also... my 2.4 gHz mouse does not always work properly. Add wired headphones though another adapter from Apple and I have wires running everywhere. Just how indifferent and callous can one company be? Thanks for this video, it has given me some ideas.
It usually takes me 14 hours to get 140 pus veiwers you get alot in an hour around 100 plus
