Funny you mention me here, because I literally am having mac USB-C cable issues right now. I am doing a stop motion project with Canon EOS-R connected with my Mac Studio using Dragonframe as the software. The camera was constantly dropping connection. I switched the cable out 3 times but nothing seemed to help.
What finally got everything super stable was plugging a powered USB hub into the mac, then connecting the device to that. It seems with longer USB cables the problems are especially bad. But has been working flawlessly since I plugged in the powered hub. (If I use the hub without power, the same issue arises)
Great! You seemed to have found the solution already.👍 Besides faulty cables or ports, power is another factor that could cause instability connections to devices which could result in frequent disconnection. Thanks for sharing!
