It's been used a bit, but there are no operational issues. I bought it new, and I don't think I've used it more than 10 times. The following is a quote: With the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, you can easily import photos and videos from a high-resolution digital camera to your iPad Pro. When you connect the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, the Photos app on your iPad Pro automatically opens, allowing you to select the photos and videos you want to import and organize them into albums. Furthermore, by connecting the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to a power source using a USB power adapter, you can also connect USB-compatible peripherals such as hubs, Ethernet adapters, audio/MIDI interfaces, and card readers for CompactFlash, SD, and microSD cards, further expanding the functionality and capabilities of your iPad Pro. The Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter supports standard photo formats such as JPEG and RAW, as well as SD and HD video formats including H.264 and MPEG-4. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st and 2nd generation) and 10.5-inch iPad Pro transfer data at USB 3 speeds, while the 9.7-inch iPad Pro transfers data at USB 2 speeds.
