Hello Apple friends, there's too much clutter of cables on the workspace (and for playing every sunday), I don't mind the inconvenience of small adapters. What cheap but decent brands have good Lightning to USB-C adapter (wherein you just plug a small adapter at the tip) and a Lightning to USB-A adapter, if they exist?

Thank you. God bless Apple users.

I have a FLIR (forward looking infrared) camera that connects to my iPhone that I bought some years ago, mostly on a whim with money I had been gifted for Christmas. I thought it would be interesting and not just some app that applied an effect-it really sees heat in real time. I was surprised how handy it’s been, and have used it to find weak spots in our insulation, checked the airflow in ductwork and dryer exhaust, even made sure there wasn’t an insect nest in one of our walls. However, now I’m faced with the possibility that soon this $250 device won’t do anything because it’s got a lightning connector. I already can’t use it on my iPad (new iPad mini) and the next time I get a new phone I’m guessing it will also likely have a USB-C. I’ve tried a couple of adapters to connect it to my iPad, but they don’t work for a device connection, they only let an old lightning cable recharge the battery.

Am I going to have to replace the FLIR, or is there a workaround?
