Micro Usb Pass Through Charging Cable

Needed this for charging from a micro-USB cable. Works great for that.

I submitted an earlier review saying that the power pass through on this cable did not provide power via USB-C to a Pavobulb 10C, this information was partially incorrect. I was confused because I was using a 'Super Fast Charging' phone charger to supply power via USB, while the charger would power the light, it would not power it when connected through the DMX cables USB-C pass-through. This seems to be true with multiple lights and cables. However using a normal charging bank I was able to power the lights using the pass through. I tried a USB charging station with has power output of 5Vdc with some at 2.4A and others at 3A, all of these power ports worked fine through the pass through. So the key takeaway is, some fast chargers for phones will not work through the power pass through on the cable, but most USB-C power ports will work find. Overall I am very happy I was wrong about the cable.

Besides compact, it also has USB-c and micro-USB ports for charging! It was excellent!

I have tried many different brands and only the HyperDrive supports power delivery pass-through charging through both USB-C ports. This means I can connect my Thunderbolt 3 SSD through the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port and charge my MacBook Pro with the other USB-C port at the same time. The other brands force you to choose between Thunderbolt 3 connectivity or pass through charging through a single USB-C port. HyperDrive definitely gives me more options.

I use it to connect a flashdrive to the micro-usb charging port on a Toshiba Encore tablet.

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).

Buy a longer cord like the USB 3.0 A/ML to MICRO B/ML CABLE - 3'

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect length for charging my devices that still use micro USB like my Bluetooth speaker. Connecting ends are very sturdy and don't bend. Charging end snaps in well and doesn't move. 5 of 5 stars easy.

I've had the HP3R for a few years, and hands down the best light on the market. The focussing aspect and light output is absolutely spot on. One small thing to remember, is if you have an HP3R with a micro usb charging port, and need to replace the tail cap, the updated version of the tail cap with a USB-C charging port is not compatible with the previous micro usb gen.

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.
