Yes that's the idea, but don't assume your USB plug will pass through, you would need to test it! Originally developed for electric sync cables. I know Nauticam needed to make a new adapter to get the the right-angle USB plug to pass through their M24-M16 adapter.

Thanks for the response. It looks like the Nauticam M16 USB bulkheads are hard-wired at the bulkhead end, and have a right-angle plug for the camera-end. The Kraken equivalent comes with two internal wires, one right angle, one straight...but both plug straight into the inside end of the bulkhead. So if a straight USB-C will pass through the Nauticam offset extension, it should fly.

Should have a lot better chance of working and price is nicer as well, seems like it comes with two different cables? If you get one it would be nice to report back on charging times and data transfer rates.

It also comes with the M24 bushing adapter included...which Nauticam charges another chunk of change for. My SO got one for her birthday, has it installed, hasn't used it yet otherwise. May be a while before we know exactly how it performs, but it's supposed to be a PD cable, so I'd be pretty surprised if it's any slower than the Nauti.

I'm thinking it could be faster, The Nauticam one is slower than my card reader, I got 28 MB/sec, while I routinely get 150 MB/sec with the card reader and 75 MB/sec reading from the camera without bulkhead.

Kraken is with same/similar slow cable. They are coming with new version beginning of next year with better cable.

Thats what i was told by one retailer.

Theres also something from Dive and See, pricey but usb 3.2 see here

Fotocore seems to have come out with their own also see here

With the Fotocore one, you could add the M16 vacuum valve?
