Top 3Rd Party Lightning Cable

I found when using the XLR unit on top of the GH5, it pulls more power.  So having a panny batt vs a 3rd party batt is worth the extra money.  Lasts much longer than 3rd party

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review. This is a great cable. The lightning cables have been around for years now so there isn't really anything new or innovative that makes this product stand out. But it is well made and feels durable. It's a great length and it works as you would expect it to. One thing that does impress me is that the plastic end with the lightning adapter is identical to the end of an official Apple cable. I've had a few third party lightning cables over the years and every one of them had a longer and usually fatter lightning adapter end. Sometimes an Apple cable would fit through the hole in a case to charge my phone but a third party cable wouldn't. In this case, Belkin's cable is just as capable as an original lightning cable. This is the first time I can remember thinking that anyone has made a cable as good as the one provided with the iPhone.

For some reason, a 3rd party brand of power cable that was made for the P4K suddenly stopped working. So, even though I was only interested in the D-tap power cable for the P4K, I bought this pack anyway. Since it's made by Blackmagic, I can only assume it will always work. So, far it's working great.

Had a problem with a 3rd party cable causing kernal panics with my Mac Pro and an Apple Studio Display, this solved the issue

After the frustration of trying numerous 3rd-party versions of this cable, none of which could maintain an uninterrupted connection, I have returned to the original manufacturer's equipment. True to form, this cable fits securely on my D750, giving hassle-free picture transfer or camera control. Distinctive Nikon quality. 5 stars.

This cable performs exactly as expected and should work with all Rode microphones and 3rd party mics which have a 3.5mm mic output. The cable is 10 feet long which gives you plenty of reach for booming the mice and attaching to mic stands while still recording directly into the camera or into an external recorder.

I tried a 3rd party cable that was only a few dollars cheaper and it broke after a week. The camera USB connector was plastic not metal. Spend the smaller amount for OEM.

Lasts much longer than the 3rd party batteries.

Never used 3rd party inks so I do not have a comparison.

I much prefer Sony batteries to 3rd party ones.
