I'm not really sold on this one. There's nothing wrong with it, it does what it's supposed to. But if I hadn't gotten a good deal on it, I'd probably return it.
For one, it doesn't include a wall adapter or even a cable. And while I generally agree with the practice of not including power bricks with our devices, but when you buy a device who's sole purpose is to charge batteries, it would be nice to get even a basic 20w USB C charger.
I say 20w because that's the max power it would draw. I tried a few cables, chargers and power banks, including a 100w charger with a 100w cable, and the battery charger never drew more than 22w. When I plug the Mini 3 in, it draws 30 watts no problem. So this $50 charger is SLOWER than your drone, even when plugged in to a 100w USB C charger. It's even worse with a standard USB A charger, drawing only 2.4 watts. At that speed, it would take roughly 7.5 hours to recharge a standard battery, and nearly 12 hours to recharge the extended batteries, meaning if you load it with one standard battery and two extended batteries (if, for example, you got the Fly More Plus kit), it would take about 31 hours to fully charge the batteries on a standard charger.
It also charges the batteries sequentially, one after the other, rather than all at the same time. This can be useful on the field if you need to recharge an empty battery as fast as possible while your drone is in the air. But it would be really nice if you could, for example, charge 2 batteries at the same time with a 60w charger and 3 batteries at the same time with a 100w charger.
As it is right now, the only advantage vs just using your drone is that, if you need to recharge multiple batteries, you don't need to manually swap them out. While that is nice, it's not worth $50 in my opinion considering that it is slower than using your drone as a charger and doesn't even include all the stuff you need to get started. So if you don't already have one, add an extra $20 for a USB C charger.

DJI IS A CHEAP COMPANY. As much as their drones cost, and then you buy an extra battery charger, they don’t even send you a cord to plug the charger in.
