JUPIOx Pr1me Tri-Charge Compatible with Sony NP-FZ100 (JTC-FZ100)

For what it is trying to be (first version): 5For what it could be (next version): 4I bought the Nikon version, but wanted to leave a review on here as well.I’ve seen some other reviews comparing it to what it could be vs what it is. For what it is, it’s great! Of course room for improvement, but compared to what else is available, it’s easily a 5 for me.To address some other reviews, I get it, but the benefits still outweigh the cons imo.- Bulky: Some mentioned this as bulky. Based on what else this replaces (what you won’t have to carry), it’s just fine. Plus it’s very strong. I stood on it just to show you. I don’t think fair to write off as bulky for its own version 1. Nothing else is as nice as this for what it is.- Price: I think it’s a fair price for doing what it aims to do. There’s a reason the other similar type ones are cheaper, this one is made way better.- Needs card reader: a superb next version update, but I don’t think a reason to nick this version.- Needs latching mechanism for batteries: I’d like to add this to the next version ideas list. But still, for version 1, I will have in my bag, so can’t complain.- Memory Card holder odd feature: tbh, I like it again for what it is. I will only be using it for holding empty cards anyways. Someone had said the memory card release is a bit snug, but I take that as a pro, cards aren’t necessarily cheap. By grabbing just this thing and my camera I’m back shooting with fresh cards and batteries, no extraneous wires everywhere and again, it’s tough.- Needs to be a two battery version: I can agree a two battery version would be great, but the three version is fine. Again, nothing as nice as this exists anyways. Maybe version 2 can come in a two battery version.- Durability: looking very strong starting out but I may get on and update after some use.Overall I really like the idea and took the risk buying one with few reviews and am very glad I did so. It’s a good one.

Honestly, I dig this product, I have many batteries after a job as a freelancer and charging them all up is so fast. Having the ability to use it as a battery charger for other devices is also genius. My only con/annoyance is that two of the three slots incorrectly read battery level after some time has passed (like an hour or so). If you want to check by pressing the button a fully charged LP-E6NH (the new kind for Canon's mirrorless) will read at 50% on the device but once I put it into a camera, it shows up as 100%. That actually was the number one reason I got this device for fast battery level checking but it's finicky, maybe I have a partially defective unit. May follow up on this as I use it more.

Fro the price it needs a card reader function in the field. Yes great I can see how charged or dead my batteries are but I can plug them into the wall to look as well?

Pro- holds and charges 3 batteries at a time. Can be used as a battery power though don't care to use it that wayNeutral- holds sd cards . I still carry my sd card holder. I do put cards in this tricharge for just in case.Con- bulky. I have slots in my camera bag for my batteries. I don't have a good spot to put this bulky thing in my bag. May just start keeping it in my desk as a charger only and not something I keep in my backpack when I go to ohotoshoots.
