Don't Waste your Money
By Dan H. Rogers
The Power adapter puts to much charging power into the battery pack and over heats the pack and causes a shut down of the camera. The best bet is to buy a second battery pack and charge it through the USB port.

Why bother
By Robert V. Greene
Adapter caused the camera to "over heat" or stop charging.
However, my main concern is, why bother to get this gadget at all?
Charge with a usb connection when you can and, when no usb port is available, just use regular AA batteries!
Adapters, over-heating, errors, possible damage, another country......it ain't worth it.

Better off getting an extra battery pack
By Linli Pao
I purchased this thinking it would be a good option for charging quickly without having to be near a computer. The reality is that the computer charging "feels" much slower than charging with your computer, but performs to the specs it lists in the manual (3-4 hours for a full charge with the adapter; 7 hours for the computer method).

One thing that I noticed is that the adapter doesn't sit well in vertical outlets. It's very light plastic and doesn't quite support a Mino HD well. I tried laying it horizontally on a power strip, which worked better. The downside was that the screen of the Mino HD got a little scratched up when it got jostled after removing it from the power strip.

For the people who want to purchase an accessory for their Mino HD, I recommend just getting an extra battery pack and charging it through your computer. It'll be more convenient and costs about the same. Losing power when you're in the middle of filming a clip is no fun. I'd say paying $10 for this adapter would be more reasonable for the quality that you're getting. Hope this review helps!
