Determine which iPad you have, as that determines what connectors are in use and which adapters fit.


With iPad Pro, that’s usually either the Lightning connector, or the USB-C connector.


On recent iPadOS versions, the model is shown with Settings > General > About > Model name


iPad Pro 9.7” has a Lightning connector, which means you will likely be using the Apple Lightning camera kit adapter.


Whether the camera works with that camera kit adapter (it’s a common adapter), you will want to discuss with the camera vendor.


USB 2 and USB 3 are typically compatible.


Check for a firmware update from the camera vendor. Apply the newest firmware version, if you don’t already have that loaded into your camera.


And check with the camera vendor support staff, as they’ll be p]better positioned to discuss compatibility of their camera with iPad.
