Review on IFlight Bumblebee Connector Adjustment Quadcopter by Marco Mooney

Critical USB-C pins won't get through PD

I purchased this product because I needed a 90 degree USB-C adapter to power my Raspberry Pi in a very cozy project case take care of. Unfortunately when I received this I found that the product was far from being a full USB-C adapter. Notably, a USB power pin is missing. As a result, no USB-C power adapter will power the Pi, and neither will my laptop. The only way to power it through this is to use a "dumb" USB (2.0) power adapter and a USB-to-USB-C cable. They really shouldn't have made an adapter that doesn't pass a PD pin. Is it really that difficult to connect an extra contact on each side?

Pros
  • Quadcopters and Multicopters
Cons
  • Slightly dented
