OTG

[amadlopes]

Hello,

I would like to buy a OTG cable but first I would like to know if it works.
Anyone tested the OTG ?

Thanks

i bought this one:

the cable is thick and strong.
I wish to find OTG + usb hub + power input, I see some but they are for macbooks laptops and am not sure if they will work with our d6000. further more most do not have the 5v dc input which i think is good for powering harddrives and such, as i tried a 2TB drive and this otg cable and my d6000 cannot power it up.

Thanks.
Did you search on ebay for the hubs ?

$50 :o that's nearly 20% of the phone Nathan :p but yeah does seem very useful to have. i bought a micro usb one ages ago for only $10 and the hdmi port worked because the usb on the phone had an mhl chip, dont think our d6000 has mhl.

this one looks good at us$8, doesn't say otg but its usb-c type and should all be the same right? or have we got some sub par usb type c chipset in the d6000?

What exactly are you trying to get working? I charged another phone and my camera battery with a regular Type-C OTG cable.

well i was hoping to collect a hub to the d6000, use it as a laptop and transfer files from large sd cards (using a sd reader) to a 2tb 2.5inch portable hdd, thus the need for a hub that has a 5v dc power input port/jack to ensure both drives can power on. the d6000 cannot power up any of my 2tb portable drives using my otg cable. tv out would be great but not necessary.

With my galaxy note 4, i can do all that and more so there no need to bring a laptop on holidays... quite convenient, but battery life isnt enough for a full 16hr day.
