Flir with Lightening connection

i have the FLIR which has the male lightening connection. I just bought an iPad mini 6 and am looking for a lightening to USB-c adapter that will support the FLIR. I’m having trouble finding one. Do they exist? Can someone point me to one that works? Can find lots that don’t support video or audio and I’m guessing these won’t work with FLIR.

You’ll not be able to connect your Flir Camera with Lightning connector to your iPad mini6’s USB-C port. Lightning and USB-C are completely different (and incompatible) interfaces.


You will not find an adapter/interface-convertor that will “adapt” your Flir camera module to USB-C. Of third-party adapters that you may find for sale, these are just for charging purposes. Their use is not recommended.


Be aware that USB-C standards do not certify plug adapters, but instead requires the use of a correct cable - the cable incorporating protective circuitry designed to protect both the cable and connected device from electrical damage. Plug-adapters can introduce unsupported and potentially damaging connections.

There are many adapters / cables available for iPad Mini 6th gen (see this list:--> https://www.apple.com/shop/ipad/accessories/power-cables?page=1&f=ipadmini6gen2021&fh=4588%2B90d6ca ), but neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can guarantee that those accessories will work with your FLIR.


To be sure about that, I'd contact FLIR support team, explain your problem with their specific model, and ask for the correct cable/adapter needed.

Thanks and regards

Giulio
