Let me start by saying this charger is a game-changer for my GoPro adventures. The ability to charge three batteries simultaneously is a lifesaver, especially when I'm prepping for a full day of shooting. No more waiting around for one battery to finish before starting the next!
The compact design is perfect for tossing in my backpack. I've taken it on hikes, beach trips, and even on my motorcycle rides without any issues. The carrying case feature is genius – it keeps my batteries safe from dust and scratches, something I really appreciate after seeing how beat up my old loose batteries got.
Charging speed is impressive – I consistently get fully charged batteries in under two hours. The LED indicators are super helpful (though I agree with some reviewers that the colors could be more distinct). Red means charging, green means done – simple enough even when I'm half-asleep at 5 AM before a sunrise shoot.
Now, about the elephant in the room – the tight fit. Yes, the batteries do require a firm push to seat properly, and removing them can be tricky at first. After a few uses though, mine have loosened up slightly and now pop out with just a firm pinch. Pro tip: Push from the bottom edge rather than trying to pull from the top.
The safety features give me peace of mind – overcharge protection means I can leave batteries charging overnight without worrying (though I still try not to make this a habit). The Type-C charging is convenient as I can power it from my laptop, power bank, or wall adapter.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely – despite the initial tight fit issue (which improves with use), this charger has become an essential part of my GoPro kit. Just remember you'll need to buy batteries separately!
