Answers an important question

The device works as it should. The only downside I have is the awkward physical layout of the device: 3 cables, 3 ports, 2 devices. It would be much better if it was a bundle and a cable with USB A on the end! I had a question, what was the a6000's lowest power consumption mode? This device and the Eversame USB digital power meter told me it wasn't. With the camera off, does it draw 0.00-0.01A when checking for wake up? In viewfinder mode the a6000 draws between 0.28 and 0.8A depending on the scene and whether the subject is looking through the viewfinder. In monitor mode, the .4-.7A and "shutdown" monitor does not noticeably reduce power consumption. Spring.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Will be added later

Plastic build quality but does the job for Sony a6000, a6300, a6500
