Iphone 5 Battery Case Uses Lightning Cable

Excellent authentic Apple power adapter for plugging iPhone lightning cable to wall outlet. B&H always has those tidbits we cannot live without, thank you!!

I use this to connect anything with a standard headphone cable to my iPhone Lightning port (older selfie stick, older Square reader, earbuds and headphones).

The killer app for this device (for me) was that connecting the receiver to an iPhone with the usb-c to lightning cable maintains discrete stereo separation for recording to several video applications. Tested working on ProMovie and MoviePro. The magnets are very capable of holding the transmitters onto a shirt during vigorous activity.   )) significant note: Noise cancellation only works when conveying the signal through the receiver to a camera or smart phone.

This is an adapter, NOT a cable. That said, as an adapter it does it's job well. I have used it to plug my iPhone (Lightning) into my PC (both USB-C and USB-A) to transfer files and it worked without a hitch. Useful as an adapter, but not long enough to be called a cable by any means.

This charger had no problem quickly charging an iPhone 8 using a ToughTested USB-A to Lightning cable also purchased from B&H.

In order to use my old iPhone 5c with the Rode Micro microphone, this cable was necessary. I adapted it to my iPhone 7 lightning port as a test and it didn't work. I didn't investigate because the plan was to use the mic with the old phone anyway, so it might have worked and could have been my set up.

I’ve owned the lightning MV88 in the past and now the MV88+ (it was on sale and couldn’t pass it up). I won’t go into all the details because you probably know them all by now, but I’ll mention a few things.  First, it’s beefier than the MV88 Lightning version. Getting it into the clamp is a bit of a tight fit so not sure how many times you want to be taking it in and out, or how long before the the clamp may last until it one day breaks. Shure however does sell a replacement if needed, but it seems fairly sturdy. Good sounding mic and I use the app software up to a point, but further refinements in post helps. On my iPhone 11, recording at 4K / 30, the phone battery will last abut 2 and half to just under three hours using the mic. So if you have some long extended recording (a music concert etc) just be aware. There’s workarounds with that since you can hook up a battery and use the apple camera connector dongle (the usb/lightning one) and power the iPhone for as long as you have storage, if needed. With the recent iPhones having MagSafe, my concern is about future proofing. Will future iPhones have a port AT ALL? I bought the MV88+ thinking the IPhone may move to USB-C (a cable is provided with the MV) but now the tea leaves seem to read that USB-C, or any port, may not be in Apples future. So how will I connect the MV88+? For now though, its fine and I’m happy with the purchase. If you’re thinking about 5 years down the line though, the future is uncertain.

Fantastic Little Pro Mic. Powered by the camera. Uses a little more of the camera battery but not a problem, just have an extra battery, in case you need it. Has nice, clear, clean audio. Bill Mahon Photo

A must-have to connect to your iPhone 7, 8, & X. In my case my 6-month old Apple Lightning to headphone adapter didn't work; once I replaced it with a new one this Rode cable worked properly. BONUS: Check out the Rode SC6 to add a headphone output to the input chain!

Is a great directional Microphone especially in nosier environments. The lightning jack is not very long and most iphone case users will find that they will either need to remove their cases or modify them.
