Lightning to USB Camera Adapter iphone charging?

Does anyone know how to get the lightning to USB Camera Adapter to charge the iphone while using it?

I plan on using the adapter for music production with a midi keyboard. I currently have a powered usb hub plugged into the adapter, the midi keyboard into the hub, and the adapter into the iphone lightning port. Everything works perfect except that there seems to be no way to charge the iphone while using the adapter? Any help out there?

Apple should have just added a lighting port to this adapter like they did with the Lightning Digital A/V Adapter.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.1, null

The adapter is iPad only, not for the iPhone.

Malcolm thanks for the replies, actually though this adapter works perfectly with the iphone 5s.

I saw the power bridge, but I'm thinking you can only use it for IK Multimedia based controllers with the DIN connector.

"Works with iRig accessories with Mini-DIN and Micro-USB ports"

so it should work with USB devices with a Micro-USB to USB adapter.
