I found this product through a podcast and totally worth it. I took it camping with me and it was great for keeping my emergency phone charged and lightening the load.

I was able to use this for the first time with the planned power outage in our area last week. We live in a sunny climate and I set it out in the morning and had to check on it throughout the day to keep dot in sundial cross hairs but it was able to charge my iPhone at the end of the day and it could trickle charge while gathering rays outside. I found this helpful and am glad to have it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seems pretty sweet, charged my phone in the yard haven't really used it out and about yet. Super light, seems well made, the legs ratchet pretty tight, between that and the eyelets I think you could stand, lean, or hang this thing anywhere you want. The sundial doesn’t work well in overcast but I guess that’s kinda the point...

Only worked once!

The panel worked very well on our first trip. On our second trip it stopped charging its internal battery and the charge icon would only appear on a device for one or two seconds before disappearing. All this despite being outside in direct sunlight.
Not with buying if it will only work for a week before breaking...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Super easy! Light, compact. I love it!! It’s so fun to use while at home too. Charge it in the sun in your window and use it to charge your phone and lights. Sun = power ☀️

I just wanted to try it out. It's more versatile than the SolarPanel 10+ (which I've had for 3 years now).
I've tried various ways of hanging and carrying it. Saw a picture of someone carrying theirs on a backpack and wanted to try it with my hydration pack while cycling. Just waiting for warmer weather to try it.

Great little device. Light weight and easy to use. I’ve only used it once, but it charged up without any trouble.
