Economy Pack Micro Usb Charger

[QuickTime MOV] I ordered this camera for a client to be used as a webcam. The 150 degree field of view was great for capturing 6 people in one living room and the stereo microphones set to meeting mode were great for picking up low voices and compressing louder, closer voices. Here's what they don't tell you: 1. I ordered the Zoom BCQ battery pack to extend the battery life of the camera for long meetings. The battery pack connects to the camera via the Micro-USB port on the camera (not a hot-shoe connection). The Micro-USB is the same port that is needed to connect the camera to your computer, so you can only use it for one or the other. Lame. 2. I found out after experimenting that when the camera is used as a webcam via the Micro-USB port, the USB 2.0 port on your computer provides enough voltage to power the camera. No batteries needed! That would have been great to know before buying the battery pack and rechargeable batteries to go with it. At least they were returnable. Overall, it is a great camera for broadcasting a living room full of people for a streaming meeting. Just make sure that the room is well lit!

[3' / 0.9 m] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so glad I chose this micro USB charger from Belkin. The length of the charger is perfect for my needs, not too long or too short. The best part is that it charges extremely fast which is a big plus when charging my devices. This is a great product from Belkin!

[Li-Ion] This charger is lighter and less to pack than the charger supplied by Leica. The USB-A type plug is attached by a short cable to the body of the charger and when not in use, the plug fits into a slot in the back of the charger so there are no cables to lose or forget to pack.

[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.)

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.

[0.03 lb] Needed this for charging from a micro-USB cable. Works great for that.
