Let's get into it.
So we've got with us the Zendure Passport III Travel Adapter.
So this review is going to be slightly different.
It's not really a photography piece of equipment,
but it definitely is an accessory
that is useful to photographers.
So this one here for disclosure has been sent to us for review.
However, they haven't expressed to us any opinions or anything
that we need to state in our review.
So this is completely going to be our opinion
about this travel adapter here.
They have sent with us here
the hot pink version of the passport travel adapter,
and it's their latest model.
This is the third version of this travel adapter.
Now, this travel adapter here
is really a useful piece of equipment,
especially for photographers.
And the main reason being that
it's an international travel adapter
that's accepted in about 200 plus countries.
And if you look at the front here,
it takes in pretty much all sorts of international plugs,
including the UK plugs, EU plugs,
US plugs and Asia plugs as well,
including Oceania, such as Australia and New Zealand.
So on the back here, you have three sliders
that control the back prongs of the adapter.
Firstly, you have here at the top,
you've got the straight pin for the US as well as China,
I believe,
and some other countries that have that.
But the nifty feature here for Australian and Oceania users
is that you can actually angle these plugs here
to suit our power points.
So that's perfect as well.
It's a nifty feature that I haven't seen in
any other travel adapters that I've used.
Usually there's a fourth option here for Australian plugs.
So that's good to see.
Now you also have UK three prongs here.
And lastly is just the circular straight prongs here,
which is for EU and other parts of Asia also.
So you've pretty much got most countries covered
in terms of a travel adapter.
Now on the side here, you do have a USB C port here
that actually provides 61 watts of power delivery.
So that means you can charge tablets, or laptops also.
So if you're on the go and you're shooting on the go,
especially while traveling, it's perfect to charge
as well as charging all other devices that you need to.
And on the side here, you have three USB C ports
and a USB type A port.
Now these ports here,
they support up to 15 watts of power.
So that seems like it's probably not enough in terms of output,
or power that it's supplying across those ports.
But it does make sense for the size, the compact size
and nature of this adapter here.
So it's more than enough.
If you think about it, you'll be charging a laptop device here.
And then perhaps some smaller devices
that don't require as much power.
So something like your smartphone,
maybe your air pods or some headphones
or maybe some batteries for your camera.
And also you have access to that USB type A also.
From a photographer's perspective,
especially if you're traveling around,
regardless if it's international or domestically,
it's great to just chuck this into your bag
so you're able to charge all your devices
without having to worry
if that's going to be an issue for you when you land there.
So really, it's an all in one compact travel adapter
that you won't be worrying to you know
to have any other adapters in your bag.
Just have this one unit and it should cover most things.
Now it does have Gan Plus technology
so that means the energy does pass through the adapter
a lot more efficiently than standard travel adapters.
And it also does have an auto resetting fuse feature.
So that's really handy because
I have had some travel adapters in the past
with a removable fuse.
So usually the 2 volt 5 amp fuses
that you have to remove to replace if they do blow
and it does get quite inconvenient,
especially having to make sure
that you have some spares with you.
If you are traveling
and you do overload the actual adapter itself,
then that does become a little bit of a hassle.
Now, this light, this travel adapter itself basically
allows a full 2500 Watt load
on the actual adapter which is great.
It's actually quite a lot
which we'll put to the test actually
with a few studio lights that you can see,
to see if it actually does support the load
that it specifies.
So just as a quick test here
to put the Passport III through its paces,
we actually have a 600 watt flash here.
So it's not really nearing to that 2500
Watt load
that the passport III claims to have.
However, it is a high powered flash
which in most cases as photographers,
we would use some sort of power surge protector,
or we'd have some sort of protection there to ensure
that it doesn't have a fault while in operation.
So here we have the Godox DP 600 Mark III.
And we're just going to pop that,
I'll just take off the little cover over here.
So we'll just turn this on over here.
And we've actually plugged this into the passport III.
Now, there are a few ways you can go about this.
So if you did travel with this unit overseas,
you could obviously get a kettle cord
that is specific to the country you're going to.
So this one here is obviously an Australian one.
We have it plugged into an Australian adapter
but instead of passing through
or connecting directly into the power point,
we've passed it through the Zendure passport
to see if there's any issues with the auto resetting fuse.
And if it will be able to handle the 600
Watt flashes that this one here,
this flash can produce.
So right now, I've only got it on one over 64.
So if we pumped that all the way up to its full output at 600
Watts, this has a recycle time
of approximately one second or so.
So it does have a fast recycle time.
So let's just fire off a few flashes to see
if we encounter any issues.
So you can see there I fired off about 10 flashes or so.
It doesn't seem to be tripping up whatsoever.
So yeah, I think that it's safe to say
that the Zendure Passport III
is suitable for photographers for most use cases.
Now you won't really be using a 2500 watt flash.
You know the largest output flashes usually are
about those 1200 watts.
So in most cases,
it should cover everything from photography equipment
and lighting up to your devices
that you shoot or edit
with including your tablets and your laptops,
as well as all your smartphones, battery chargers, headphones,
anything that a content creator needs.
So that was just a quick look at the Zendure Passport III
from a photographer's perspective.
So it's a great travel adapter.
If you're traveling around internationally, domestically,
and you want a single travel adapter
that you don't have to worry about
that you take along with you, has small compact size,
covers up to 200 plus countries,
has that Gan feature
so it's got efficient power throughout the unit.
It also supports many different devices
as well as photography equipment.
This is the one to look at.
