Seek thermal camera

I have a seek thermal camera that plugs into the USB (on most phones).

It is a mile off fitting in the BV6000 because the USB is too deep. Seek recommend this:

But I can tell by looking at it that there is no way it will allow the camera to be attached.

Has anyone got the same problem or found a solution. Using a cable is not a good option as you overlay the phone camera with the IR camera and if you use a cable these will be completely different pictures.

So no luck buying one to fit and no replies here so I made one. If you want to do the same here is a picture of it:

Top two pins are connected together (GND), this is what puts the phone in host mode.

Problem now is that this does not seem to work on my BV6000 even though I can now connect the camera.

Is there a problem with host mode on these phones or am I pulling the phone apart to see if anything is wrong?

Solved it. It really is amazing how much better the USB works when it is soldered to the PCB inside, mine wasn't. Absolutely 100% a quality control issue at manufacture.

Soldered and all functional now.
