Kinoni Elgato EpocCam Momentary Disconnect

I am experiencing an issue with the Elgato EpocCam where the stream camera disconnects for a moment and is replaced by a black screen with a USB logo, then reconnects immediately while streaming.

This happens with an iPhone 5S connected via USB connection at 1920x1080, with video bitrate at 1.0 bits per pixel.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Update: icebird4all pointed out the following comment by “BenEZer” under this EpocCam troubleshooting video:
