SmallRig 4-in-1 USB-C Hub with Cold Shoe Mount

Great little USB hub if you understand it only has 1 port capable of USB 3.1/10Gbps and that there is no video supported through that port. So you can't connect a USBC to HDMI out for example. But it does do well to enable me to plug into my iPhone and get extra ports to an external SSD to record video, an external Rode USBC mic, and keep everything powered. I would love for a newer version to include an HDMI out as well as a second 10Gbps port.

Fits into the cage ecosystem well, connects quickly, is very stable, designed well, allows accessories to be connected all in one location. Sturdy mounting to frame of the cage.

Took a lot of internet research to finally find this little gem. I'm using it on a BeastGrip iPhone 15 Pro set up with a Rode mic and Samsung 2TB SSD. Works perfectly. Because the Rode mic is powered, I can plug both into the Small Rig hub and the iPhone can "see" the Samsung 2TB SSD and the Rode mic. The SmallRig hub has a very clever clip / cold shoe attachment that allows you to slide it into a cold shoe or clip it to your equipment. The cable is nice and short so no extra cable to fiddle with. And, the hub has a charging port so you can charge your iPhone as needed. This is truly one of those niche products that fits the bill perfectly. Even the price was right.

The usb c hub works amazing with the MagSafe cage basic kit I bought and this hub. The only issue was when I tried to connect my hd camera monitor via HDMI-USBc; turns out usb-c 2.0 isn't compatible with video output and I got to thinking what else would you use that port for? I have my power, storage, and sound going through just fine but not my reference monitor. I feel it could be an oversight on SmallRigs side because every thing else works except video on via the usb-c hub. They could add an HDMI port. I love all the other products however it's always the small annoyances that people remember that could've been easily solved. UPDATE: SmallRig have reached out and said they let product design know and would consider releasing a new model with a HDMI port in the future!

Dose not work for iPhone 17 Pro max for shooting Apple ProRes RAW open gate. let alone ProRes HQ on an external ssd. And having it powered makes no difference. this is the sole reason I bought this, as to have a smaller rig that allowed me to connect both my Lark MS2 lavaliere mikes plus the external SSD required for ProRes raw recording. It was recommended in a you tube video before but unfortunately it simply dose not work for its intended needs.

This is good. I tried other usbc hub and those didn’t work for multiple things. If the storage works wireless mic doesn’t. But with this and smallrig rig case I find the perfect combination.

Fits perfectly on my iPhone rig. I plug in a power bank and my mic receiver. Works just as I hoped. Great value and an integral tool for iphone photography and video.

Seems great for what it’s intended for, but does not work for an on-the-go handheld gaming pc to mobile monitor setup :/ 5-star review because I’m team small rig for my mobile computer setup and my camera equipment because I like it modular

Wszystko gra.

Awesome product like always from this manufacturer!

Verbindet mein SmartPone (Koala Sampler) mit meinem ESI XJam und meinen NUx Axon 3 Boxen. Alles über USB - C. Funktioniert klasse, ich brauche keine separate Stromversorgung (außer für die Boxen).

Hub indispensabile se si utilizza un cage, oltre ad avere la clip compatibile con l’hot shoe, rende possibile collegare simultaneamente un microfono, un ssd e un powerbank allo smartphone, consigliato.

Simplesmente não funciona para gravar em Prores usando o iPhone. Testei de inúmeras formas usando o iPhone 16 Pro sem sucesso. Decepção. Dependendo da taxa de bits dos formatos de ProRes, da resolução ou da taxa de frames, ele conseguirá gravar por algum tempo em um SSD, mas inevitavelmente falhará. Em Prores 422 4K 30fps, consegui apenas 01:42 (minutos), mesmo conectado a uma fonte de energia. Fracasso total, não percam o tempo de vocês. Também vi algum review no Youtube dizendo que era ótimo (DPJourney), mas não funciona. Já testei alguns hubs aqui no Brasil para esse fim: desde um barato da Kalunga até o UGreen e esse da Smallrig. NENHUM funcionou para esse fim. Irei importar um da Belkin que li em um dos comentários e tentar a sorte. Está difícil aproveitar as capacidades desse celular para vídeo. Ou conecta o SSD, ou o powerbank, ou o microfone, mas 2 ou 3 desses simultaneamente, ainda não foi possível. Decepcionante.
