Let me start by saying I was skeptical too. A non-Sony power adapter for my precious ZV-E10? But after weeks of use, this little gadget has become my streaming and long shooting session MVP.

The Good Stuff:

- Perfect fit for my ZV-E10 - snaps in just like the original battery

- No more battery anxiety during 4-hour live streams (yes, I tested it that long!)

- That 12ft cable is a lifesaver when positioning my tripod

- Noticeably cooler operation than some third-party adapters I've tried

Real Talk:

I won't lie - the first time I plugged it in, my hands were shaking. But after surviving multiple marathon shoots without a single hiccup (and no camera bricking!), I've gained confidence. It does show 100% charge that dips slightly under heavy use, but power delivery remains stable.

Pro Tip:

This shines for studio work or streaming setups where you're stationary. The cable can feel awkward for handheld use, but on a tripod? Game changer. My favorite unexpected benefit? No more forgetting to charge batteries before important shoots.

The Not-So-Good:

- That mental hurdle of trusting a third-party power source never fully goes away

- Cable management takes some figuring out for clean setups

- You'll need to keep firmware updated (as one reviewer learned the hard way)

Final Verdict:

For the price, this delivers serious value. While nothing beats OEM gear psychologically, functionally this performs exactly as promised. Just bought a second one as backup!
