Detachable Micro Usb Charge

[60 W ] Brighter than the F12 and very useful. Downside is the charge port is old style micro-USB and not USB-C

[Adapter] If you have an Android smartphone, you probably use a micro-B plug to charge it. With this adapter, you can take a USB drive (thumb drive) and plug into this adapter and then into the phone. Now you can copy all those pictures from your phone onto the USB drive. I hope this helps!

[Lithium-Ion] Full Disclosure: Coast provided me this ZX600 battery in order for me to test it out. But, everything I will talk about in this review is my own opinion. Coast Portland was not given copy approval nor any editorial input in this review. That means, they're reading this review for the first time along side you. These are the topics I will cover. Skip to whatever corresponding number in order to read about that specific topic and find what you are looking for. 1) Overview 2) What I Dislike 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator 5) Charge Time/Battery Satistics 6) Thoughts The Individual Topics Begin Here: 1) Overview: • The ZX600 battery is desighned to fit in place of 3 AA batteries • It is a lithium-polymer battery • It has a hard casing and can be inserted only one way with large marking denoting positive (+) and negative (-) 2) What I Dislike: • I dislike the use of a Micro-USB port to charge the battery instead of a newer USB-C port • Recharge time is ridiculously long 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator • There is a Micro-USB port on the front of the battery • There is a charging indicator to the left of the Micro-USB port • A solid red light indicates charging and a solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged 4) Charge Time/Battery Satistics: • The battery was tested from completely dead Rated Capacity: 2100 mah Tested Capacity: 2241 mah Charge Speed: 450 mah Time: 5 hours 34 minutes 5) Thoughts: I really like the concept of this battery. I love how it is designed to just fit in place of where AA batteries normally go while still allowing the use of AA batteries if necessary without any fuss. I do wish they would make a generation 2 of this battery adding much needed improvements. Overall, it is a genius solution.

[99 Wh] Perfect solution to charge IDX micro batteries.

[Micro-USB-B] Micro USB cords are common everywhere. Glad to have this gizmo which functions just as well as my OEM adapter but the fit is more firm, secure. Very useful bc a lot of my devices take micro USB which I always have on me. Always great to have options. Plus OEM and some Lightning charge cords aren't durable. Inexpensive (3 pack price is great) to have these adapters on my micro cords or in bag. Naturally paranoid and cautious, I have yet to try data sync with it. Still trust OEM for that specific job. *(This is no directive, I’ve evaluated for what worked from my experience, your needs and results may differ. Engage at your own risk.)

[20 W] With so many stuff to USB C charge, this comes in handy.

[0.14 lb] Rapid charge at its best, go out and get yourselves one. usb c port is the new in.

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

[14.8 Wh] I love that it can work with either micro-usb or USB-C cables. The LEDs provide a nice monitor of your charge progress. Really like this little charger.
