Just be careful, some imaging cameras require a direct dedicated USB3 port on a laptop, the ASI are one example. I had to use a powered USB3 extension cable, direct to my laptop, and everything else through my powered hub to a second USB3 port on the laptop.
The USB cables supplied with some cameras are too short if your any distance from right under the tripod or pier, and extending pretty much demands a powered extension cable (5V supply via an AC or other adaptor).
So sort out any field issues before you commit.
