The only thing is that the two pieces are not sold as a kit for the iPad mini and 4, which makes buying the two prices more expensive than buying the kit for the 30 pin connector.
Hmm, I just saw the connector at walmart for $29 it has the lightening connector end which is attached to the sd card reader-is there another part I need? Is this not it?
No, you don't need anything else. The other part is for connecting a USB cable from your camera to the iPad. If your using an SD memory card, all you need is what's in your photo.
