As much as I like the reliability and sophistication of Apple products, the constant need (and cost) to buy new peripherals is a pain.

Using as a MIDI controller connector to add additional power, works as needed.

Picked this up at a local Apple Store (would have purchased here but the need was time sensitive) in order to transfer phots from a dSLR (Nikon D700, Compact Flash card) to a 10.5" iPad Pro when traveling without a laptop
