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

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.

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.

I tried to make this work. It would drop the connection to my external battery pack, SSD and Microphone. I contacted customer service and sent them these pictures. They kept insisting I should send them a video. Not sure what a video would show. After reading a few other reviews that had the same issue, one can only conclude there is a flaw in this product. This one is going back.

Definitely recommended it. I use it on my samsung phone

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.

I initially received one of these with the "SmallRig x Brandon Li All-in-One Mobile Video Kit" that I bought. That kit has a fatal flaw (check out the reviews) so I returned it, but the one part of the kit that really works well is this USB-C hub—so I purchased another one separately. It allows external SSDs to work with iPhones when they draw too much power for the iPhone to supply (which is not an issue with the Crucial SSD that I'm using, but is with many others). I had long been looking for a portable hub to solve this problem, and this Smallrig is the only one I've found that actually works. Plus, it's very... small.

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.

Funktioniert einwandfrei

Wszystko gra.

Awesome product like always from this manufacturer!

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.
