Is it possible to put a USB device into a PC, and then into an IPad?

I've got a load of AVI files on a Windows 10 PC, which I've like to play on an IPad.

Are there USB devices which you can plug into a PC, copy the files over, and then plug straight into a IPad and access the files (AVIs) on them and play them back?

Rather not even touch iTunes with a barge poll.... I'll try to MP4 all the files...

Grrr.... So can someone just recommend a hardware solution?

Got a cable off Amazon, and even with it plugged into a power lead, and trying three different USB sticks, and micro SDs readers, across two Apple device, they complain of not enough power.

And you just plug that in, with a SD card in it, and access it from both a PC and IPad?

I see over on Amazon there's dedicated USB sticks which seem to achieve what I'm after, albeit an app is required on the Ipad - "iDiskk MFI Certified 64GB Lightning USB memory stick"
