Review on πŸ”† iTODOS 3 Pack Solar Panel Kit for Blink XT XT2, 11.5Ft Outdoor Power Charging Cable and Adjustable Mount, Weatherproof, Sustain Continuous Power for Your Blink Camera - Black by Ricardo Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! Consider adding bird deterrent strips

The panels themselves come with a nice wooden cable with a micro USB connector on the end. Although advertised for use with outdoor Blink XTs, they charge other low-power devices. Even a cell phone in case of need. You are strong! The frame is aluminum and rivets hold the joints together. Due to the all-metal construction, they weigh a little more. The brackets speak for themselves and once tightened, the panels will not move, even in strong winds. (On my layout it is unaffected by wind speeds of 60 km/h.) A great product, well worth the investment. Buyers should be aware of one issue: birds LOVE to sit on it! Large birds (such as an adult seagull) may cause the mounting brackets and plates to move. To counteract this I suggest adding Bird-away (e.g. Revain part no. B07QWYQRN4) and attaching it with strong double sided tape (e.g. Revain part no. B07LFRN1K8) - I've attached a photo to show you the difference. After adding Bird-Away, I didn't have to move the panels or remove bird droppings.
