Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

I pretty much got my iPad for the ability to import images and video from my cameras using the camera connection kit whilst on the go. Since updating the software (thanks Apple), it now no longer works despite trying all the so called fixes available, and pretty much a blanket silence from Apple themselves on the matter, even though lots of people are reporting the issue.

Come on Apple sort this out please. I've been a devoted Apple consumer since the mid 90's, but you are about to lose my custom.

Tried on my iPad 2 (iOS6.1) with both the USB and SD card adapters. Not all USB sticks work, my 4GB USB initiative one does.

Plug your SD/USB into the PC.
Zip the files you need together and rename the zip file something like ZIP_1234.pdf
If its a single file, just rename it.

Make a DCIM folder on your SD/USB and paste the zipped.pdf file there.

Plug the CCK/SD/USB into your iPad and wait for the Photo app to start. Then import your PDF.

Now to get the PDF out of the Photo import folder, you can use the

Dropbox app, but you need wifi and to actually upload it to Dropbox first!

However, free App Store app iTransfer by ComcSoft works.
Select the ZIP_1234.pdf from the Photo Album/import folder.
Click on it then use Open In to get it to the file manager of your choice.
I use Files Pro. Once there, rename it to ZIP_1234.zip and then extract your files.
If it was a single non-zipped file, rename it back to what it was originally.

i bought this camera conection kit for my ipad 2 and i tried one time and it worked but when i update my iOS to 6.1.3 its stops working and just shows error message that ipad doesnt support this accesory....
IM SO DISAPOINTED BY APPLE....

This product is really good it lets me chose which photos i want on my ipad and I find the best way to do it is to take out the SD card and use that. The picture quality is awesome ever so clear and it only takes 2 seconds to complete one picture and the instructions are well organist and easily understandable but it is very straight forward anyway. I am very pleased with this camera connection kit and is well worth the money. !!

To my big surprise I just discovered that the USB connection works very well with my digital amplifiers USB interface. Very clear and detailed sound with HD Track recordings...

Just received mine and tried it out.
Photos and video from my Canon & Sony cameras transfer to my iPad with no issues whatsoever.
Top marks for a simple and very useful product.

I use this to hook my iPad with Retina Display to my Behringer Mixer using the Lightning to 30-pin adapter (cordless) and Behringer UCA222. Also works great with cameras but my old Sony Bloggie is not supported (uses too much power). Apple please help!

It arrived
I opened the packing
I switched on my Lumix G
I switched on my iPad 2
I plugged in the USB cable into the camera
I plugged the adapter into the iPad
I plugged the cable into the adapter
Software started and opened an import page showing me all the photos.
You could pick to delete or import either single shots or all of them
SD card adapter was just as simple. What more do you want????

Ive had this camera connector since the 1st Gen iPad came out and I've never had an issue with the results its always connected fine with my iPad and surprisingly the iPad could even read my RAW files from a Samsung NX10, a Nikon D5100 and now my Nikon D800, I cannot vouch for any other cameras as I havent tried them with it, I usually plug the SD card in rather than the camera wire, although transfer speeds seem pretty much the same.
I'm planning to upgrade my iPad when the new one comes out early 2013 which i assume will use the lightning adapter like in the new iPhone so i suppose i'll have to get a new adapter, its just a shame you cant use this adapter with the iPhone 4S but all in all i think this is a good product and fits my needs.
