You can get USB to USBC adaptors. That's what I did.I have one for my smart phone it seems to work well. I think it was less than 15 bucks. IF you go that route, make sure it has the correct plug end for your phone. I have to use my old phone, because the plugs changed.

I got a Depstech WiFi one a couple years ago. Waterproof with 11.5 ft cable
Because of it, I was able to figure out and fix my fuel tank pick up sock that came off.
I had an internally bad rubber hose connecting the sending unit to the body hard line that gave me black flaky sediment in carb bowls and filter
I pulled the sending unit just to inspect inside of gas tank and the sock didn’t come with it
The camera showed the sock laying inside a very clean 50+ year old gas tank.
Got it out with two people:
-one sticking the camera down the gas pipe,
-second using an extra long double jointed needle nose and coat hanger to fish out the sock through the 2 1/2” sending unit hole. All while ONLY looking at the cell phone camera.
Without the WiFi, we couldn’t have done it. We got it out without dropping the tank. And we swaged the pickup tube so it wouldn’t happen again (repro parts )
the cable is flexible but you can form it. Like soft metal wire. And the camera definitely got submerged in fuel a few time. And all is well with it.
