I am an admitted Goal Zero monkey. I have way too much of their stuff and some people think that relying on ComEd here in Chicago is the way to go. Well, I do not, and love to camp with the gear as well. My opinion of the new Venture 70 is that it ts great for some applications but not as many as the Venture 30, because it is a little too big and heavy to carry with my iPhone. But my wife uses it to power her iPad Pro quite effectively.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased about two months ago. Always out and about using my phone to share information with people. Short cable make it easy to use phone while charger is in my hand.
The Venture 70 charges our iPhone 7s in VERY short order. It IS superior to the Venture 30. It also handles an iPad Mini3 in short order. I have charged BOTH, simultaneously, and had power to spare - (i.e. iPhone 7 & iPad Mini3). Heavier than the 30, but not so heavy as to be a negative. I highly recommen'd, if you are serious about having 'power on the go'.

After 2 years dead and won't charge

Bought the Venture 70 to power my cell phone and camera. It worked intermittently at best. Which was a big disappointment. I could get multiple charges with my phone but then it struggled to charge with different ports. Never really worked as intended. 2 years later dead, wont charge. Haven't been impressed with any of Goal zero's stuff. Only the solar panels have worked for me. The rest of the battery equipment has failed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't stay charged.

I've had this for less than a year and I can only get one cell phone charge out of it. The Venture 70 drains extremely quickly. I've spent a lot of money on Goal Zero products and this was an absolute waste. I may be looking at alternative brands.
I've been waiting months for this to come out. I have the Venture 30 and love it. the Venture 70 got to me within a week of ordering it. Just in time for a trip to China!! I have quite a few Goal Zero items and have never been disappointed.
