Well, i bit the bullet and bought a Compact Pro FF with Lightning Plug.

I was able to mod the Lightning to microUSB as decribed, THANK YOU!

The ID chip got horribly hot, i simply unsoldered it and its working fine now without hot spots :-)

Thanks!!!

P.S: USB-C Adapter next, already tried but failed, although moving the resistor for CC from +5 to GND its not working as OTG, any idea?

Well, pretty much talking to myself here, nevertheless, maybe its of interest to someone later.
Here are USB id's of 3 different Seek:

Seek Compact UW-AAA micro USB:      PIR206/iAP      0x289d 0x0010
Seek Compact Pro FF LQ-AAAX Lightning:   PIR324/iAP      0x289d 0x0011
Seek Compact Pro FF UQ-AAAX micro USB:   PIR234/-         0x289d 0x0011

Unfortunately this is not possible as the camera needs to be fitted with the Apple ID chip that is not present in the non iOS versions. You could try to course a faulty Seek iOS version and transplant the required cable, Apple ID chip and connector assembly into your working camera unit.

Hi!

I found several adapters which allow to connect lighting based headphones to android phone.
Will Seek Thermal work with such adapters?

I just successfully adapted my iOS (lightning) Seek Thermal to usb-micro.

Thanks to tonykids for the directions.
I used one of these lighting female to male usb-micro adapters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RHGS3NB
I used a dremel tool with cutting disk to slice and remove the metal coating, then carefully cut and peeled the soft plastic liner.
The pin configuration is exactly the same as in LarryR's post, so I soldered the same as shown there.

I have only basic skills, so I'm shocked that it worked, but I must have gotten lucky with the soldering iron.

It seems to work fine on my old Android USB-micro tablet.

Next step, I hope to get a USB-micro to USB-C adapter and see if I can plug it into my USB-C android tablet.

Quick Update. I have now managed to get my iOS (lightning) Seek Thermal to work on my USB-C tablet.

As described earlier, I created a lightning to USB-Micro adapter as described by tonykids. I then purchased a USB-Micro to USB-C adapter that specifically supported USB OTG. This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I0ZAJXO. By chaining them together my Seek now works on my USB-C Android tablet!

Thanks All.
