Meh Quality. Low Sound Ouput.
1 of 1 found this helpful I was pretty excited to get one of these and try with my various devices - video, phone, computer. Most important is with my video camera. The sound output is quite low and so noise is amplified a lot when you try to bring the gain up, or if auto level then noise cuts on/off very noticeably with voice.
Quite disappointing really. My ear buds with my smart phone produce just as good sound.
Maybe the battery supplied is almost dead - so I'll try another but if I don't update this then that wasn't the reason for low noisy sound output.

Terrible quality. Both of 2 test units.
1 of 1 found this helpful Connector became flaky after only 2 weeks. Not even handled much - maybe a half dozen times in/out of Raspberry Pi. It also doesn't maintain stable voltage suitable for a Rasp Pi - always gives low voltage indications. I'll probably solder a new connector on some day but for now it's in the junk pile as another mistake.
Don't bother with this. Long wait and waste of money.

Questionable quality but functional
The main issue with these knock-off adapters is the low voltage output. This causes the camera to always flash a red low battery warning. It seems to work still. Not providing the correct voltage even when not under load is a pretty good indicator they've gone cheap on design and can't be bothered to correct it. Sub par quality but I guess compared to the Canon unit at 6x the price it's acceptable. How long it will work for is questionable.
I indicated I recommend it but only if you really need the low price. For those with money to spend you're probably better off with the real one.
