Smatree Battery Charging Hub Compatible for DJI Phantom 4/4 Pro/4 Pro V2.0/4 Adv (Charge 3 Batteries One by One, Converting Phantom 4 Battery into Power Bank, Not Include Power Cable)

As advertised and works well, charging 3 batteries at once.

The media could not be loaded. Originally I thought I was just buying a charging hub, but it's more than that. I had looked at the DJI hub and couldn't justify the cost. Then I found this Smatree Charging Hub for the Phantom 4/4 Pro and jumped on it. Was only $24.99 with the coupon applied. I would have been fine with the normal cost to be honest. When the package arrived I noticed right away you can charge your other devices off of it using the built-in USB port. While traveling I don't always have a lot of outlets available to charge all my cameras and devices. Having this extra USB port is really handy. PLUS, you can charge your device/phone using your DJI power cord, or using power from the Phantom 4 battery. Super cool!As for the charging hub itself, construction is nice and they even include a ring of double-sided tape on the back so you can stick it to a wall, the side of your desk, etc. Nice feature. The charger worked as you might expect. I plugged all 3 batteries in, walked away, and when I returned an hour or so later they were all charged up.I found it useful to plug each batter in one at a time, starting with the charge port/channel closest to the charge cord. Let each batter get going before plugging the next one in.Last I just have to say that, especially when traveling, I don't have time to charge one batter at a time, and I certainly don't want to wake up through the night to unplug and plug in the next battery. This hub fixed that issue. Go to bed... wake up... all charged... hit the road! :-)I made a video with a couple tips.

This charger is IT if you want a charger that will load up the juice into 3 DJI Phantom 4 batteries and controller. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! It also has a USB plug that allows you to charge your goggles or smart phone or iPad or whatever (just one at a time, of course unless you use a multipronged USB hub - I haven't tried that yet, but I may well do so) at the same time!I used the PENIVO 4 in 1 Multi-battery Charger, 3pcs Batteries + Remote Controller Parallel Balance Charging device before and it's a piece of junk. The circuits inside the thing weren't properly connected, so most of the time none to one or two batteries at best would charge at the same time and even then, I had to fiddle with the cables to get the green lights showing that it was charging appeared (or lit up red). DON'T BUY ANYTHING LIKE IT!At $19.99 the price is great for a product that works. There are look-alike docks costing up to $100 displayed on Amazon, I've seen, but why waste so much money money on them? I sincerely doubt they can deliver anything this charger isn't able to do.

I've been using this for about 6 months now, on a near daily basis. Here are my thoughts:Pros:- Compact, small, lightweight- Fits in standard DJI Phantom case- Has charged about 1000 batteries so far, with no noticeable decrease in performance- Looks great- Compatible with standard DJI Phantom charger. In fact the standard charger is NECESSARY, as this does not come with it (see cons)- Great customer support from the manufactuereCons:- Does NOT charge the batteries simultaneously. This is the reason I didn't give this 5 stars, since often I need the batteries charged quickly so that I can continuously keep the drone in the air. I ended up buying three individual chargers and an extension cord as a workaround.- Doesn't come with adaptor. You need the adaptor from the original drone to make this work.I spend a lot of time testing products and crafting well thought-out reviews. If you found my review useful, please press the 'yes' button :)

So while many of you are charging one at a time, I do three. How? I use a YZ 3 battery charger, take 1 of the 3 feeds and connect it to the hub. I have 6 batteries and two hubs. All the batteries light up in charge mode. But why you ask do you use the hub if you already have a 3 battery charger? It's also a nice stand, I can easily disconnect the charge cable, instead of disconnecting 6 cables. I couldn't see if they were connected before and yanked them cord connected - awkward. I used some fabric Sobo glue to glue the two hubs down so I can pull the batteries out easily. It Just works better for me this way. When the batteries are done charging (lights out) I unplug the power connector from the hubs. I also have a 3rd hub for on the road, I go to remote locations and why not use a battery to charge your iphone instead of taking a power bank? Weight is everything these days and since you have to carry the batteries with you on the plane (not underneath the plane) these days, why not keep it light?

La verdad que pensé que el artículo funcionaria al máximo para cargar las baterías de mi Phantom 4 Pro, pero solo carga 1 las otras 2 conexiones no funcionan colocando las otras baterías, trate cambiando las baterías de posición y nada, por eso solo le doy 1 punto ya que no funciona como esperaba.Me decepcionó un poco.
