Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Convenient Arlo Accessory: Charging Station for Pro, Pro 2 - VMA4400C Compatible by James Cabot

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disposable USB connector "mother " - beware!

Stops working after multiple uses. Many others had this problem. There is no electricity at the train station. This is due to inferior materials used for the micro USB socket. It deteriorates quickly. I confirmed this by examining the port with a 1000x digital microscope. If you are considering purchasing this item I would recommend that you connect the USB cable to the device once and then never remove it. This allows a longer connection to be provided. I thought of ransom and tried this tactic. If you remove and replace the micro USB, you easily destroy the pins on the female side that is part of the device. Arlo should insist that their supplier use a higher quality micro USB.

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • Frequency
