Great Product!
This charger is IT if you want a charger that will load up the juice into 3 DJI Phantom 4 batteries and controller. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! It also has a USB plug that allows you to charge your goggles or smart phone or iPad or whatever (just one at a time, of course unless you use a multipronged USB hub - I haven't tried that yet, but I may well do so) at the same time!I used the PENIVO 4 in 1 Multi-battery Charger, 3pcs Batteries + Remote Controller Parallel Balance Charging device before and it's a piece of junk. The circuits inside the thing weren't properly connected, so most of the time none to one or two batteries at best would charge at the same time and even then, I had to fiddle with the cables to get the green lights showing that it was charging appeared (or lit up red). DON'T BUY ANYTHING LIKE IT!At $19.99 the price is great for a product that works. There are look-alike docks costing up to $100 displayed on Amazon, I've seen, but why waste so much money money on them? I sincerely doubt they can deliver anything this charger isn't able to do.

Excellent product!
I bought a used DJI Phantom 4 outfit a few months ago that came with the Smatree Charging Hub and 3 DJI batteries. The Smatree worked flawlessly, so I bought another one to keep in my truck. I have since added two more batteries and use the Charging Hub, powered by a 400-watt inverter (not included) connected to my truck battery, to charge 1, 2 or 3 batteries while I am still flying with the other two batteries. The only problem I've had so far was the first time I used this set-up it drained my truck battery in about 45 minutes to the point that it wouldn't start my truck. This problem was easily solved the next time by starting the vehicle occasionally and letting it run for a while while charging the drone batteries. I can't imagine the official DJI brand charging hub being any better than the Smatree, and at 1/5 the cost of a DJI it is well worth the money!

6 Months of Usage - 1000 charges and...
I've been using this for about 6 months now, on a near daily basis. Here are my thoughts:Pros:- Compact, small, lightweight- Fits in standard DJI Phantom case- Has charged about 1000 batteries so far, with no noticeable decrease in performance- Looks great- Compatible with standard DJI Phantom charger. In fact the standard charger is NECESSARY, as this does not come with it (see cons)- Great customer support from the manufactuereCons:- Does NOT charge the batteries simultaneously. This is the reason I didn't give this 5 stars, since often I need the batteries charged quickly so that I can continuously keep the drone in the air. I ended up buying three individual chargers and an extension cord as a workaround.- Doesn't come with adaptor. You need the adaptor from the original drone to make this work.I spend a lot of time testing products and crafting well thought-out reviews. If you found my review useful, please press the 'yes' button :)

Did not charge
I got this charger for my Phantom 4 but did not use it until the drone was in USA (remote ID) compliance. I tried charging the batteries but I would not get the batteries to charge. My first fear was that the batteries were too far gone to charge. However, after I purchased another option, the batteries charged right up. So this one was defective.

A nice surprise... and better than expected.
The media could not be loaded. Originally I thought I was just buying a charging hub, but it's more than that. I had looked at the DJI hub and couldn't justify the cost. Then I found this Smatree Charging Hub for the Phantom 4/4 Pro and jumped on it. Was only $24.99 with the coupon applied. I would have been fine with the normal cost to be honest. When the package arrived I noticed right away you can charge your other devices off of it using the built-in USB port. While traveling I don't always have a lot of outlets available to charge all my cameras and devices. Having this extra USB port is really handy. PLUS, you can charge your device/phone using your DJI power cord, or using power from the Phantom 4 battery. Super cool!As for the charging hub itself, construction is nice and they even include a ring of double-sided tape on the back so you can stick it to a wall, the side of your desk, etc. Nice feature. The charger worked as you might expect. I plugged all 3 batteries in, walked away, and when I returned an hour or so later they were all charged up.I found it useful to plug each batter in one at a time, starting with the charge port/channel closest to the charge cord. Let each batter get going before plugging the next one in.Last I just have to say that, especially when traveling, I don't have time to charge one batter at a time, and I certainly don't want to wake up through the night to unplug and plug in the next battery. This hub fixed that issue. Go to bed... wake up... all charged... hit the road! :-)I made a video with a couple tips.
