Applications & Benefits
Travel‑friendly: With worldwide voltage input and plug adapters, suitable for domestic and international use. Ideal for creators who travel across regions.
Power‑hungry device compatibility: Supports devices needing up to ~60W, which includes many modern laptops, tablets, and cameras. Useful when you want to run or charge high‑draw gear.
Single high‑output port: Concentrated power via one USB‑C PD port simplifies cable management (one cable instead of many).
Compact design: While producing high output, its relatively compact form and inclusion of plug adapters make it practical for bags or kit without too much bulk.
Limitations & Considerations
One output port: Only one USB‑C port is available; you can’t charge multiple devices simultaneously from this unit without external hubs/adapters.
Cable not included (in many listings): To use, you’ll need a compatible USB‑C cable (with PD rating) capable of handling the required current/voltage. Poor cables may reduce effective performance. B&H Photo Video+1
Heat under load: At high wattage (≈ 61W), chargers can heat up, especially in compact bodies. Ensure ventilation, avoid covering it up or packing tightly while in use.
Weight & size: For a plug adapter/travel charger, 173g and ~32mm depth is a bit chunky compared to low‑output travel chargers, so may feel bulky in very lightweight kits.
Use‑Case Scenarios
Powering USB‑C PD devices on set: cameras using USB‑C power, portable monitor, or laptop for tethering.
Charging battery packs or USB‑C power banks between shoots.
Travel / studio hybrid work: you can travel with one charger that works everywhere and powers devices you normally’d need separate adapters for.
Backup charger for remote locations where reliable AC power is available.
