You don't have to be an international traveler to appreciate the many features and capabilities of the new Zendure "Passport III" Travel Charger and Adapter, but if you do fly around the world, you'll definitely want one of these in your luggage. Featuring support for the three most common types of plugs along with USB-A and four USB-C ports (one of which can pump out 61W of power), this is a great addition to any road warriors kit.

dave taylor here and i'm checking out
0:13
this this is a prototype of the zender
0:16
passport 3 and it's really cool it is an
0:20
international power adapter but it's
0:22
also a charger and it has a lot going on
0:26
so on this side there's a 61 watt usbc
0:31
plug and then on this side there are
0:34
three more usbc plugs and a usba the
0:38
rectangular one and then you look at the
0:41
front and you're like uh what the heck's
0:43
that turns out this is a cutout pattern
0:46
that will let you plug in
0:48
a uk or european or american power plug
0:53
and have this be the right adapter for
0:55
it and then you're like all right well
0:56
then how do you get the plug on the
0:58
other end and that they've got figured
1:01
out with these sliders so if i slide the
1:04
first one
1:05
there we go i have the us power plug
1:07
this is what's known as a type a
1:10
i can pull that in push out the next one
1:13
and that's the uk that's what's known as
1:15
a type g plug and it is just a that sort
1:19
of distinctive triangular shape and then
1:21
finally the third slider gives you this
1:25
and this is the most common power plug
1:27
in the world this is a type c
1:30
so with any of these you can use this to
1:33
plug into the wall and then you can plug
1:36
something into here so right there it's
1:38
super helpful and you can then plug in
1:42
your computer for the powerful charge on
1:44
the side and then the smaller charges in
1:47
the front for things like phones and
1:50
earpods and such and i thought
1:53
hmm let's see how we can figure out and
1:55
test this so here's how we're going to
1:56
do this is i'm going to plug this in
1:58
just happen to have power here so it's
2:01
now plugged in
2:03
and i'm going to use a sort of old
2:05
school little power adapter and that's
2:07
plugged in
2:08
via usbc
2:10
to my
2:12
google pixel 6 pro so i'm going to plug
2:14
it in on the front
2:16
and now it is charging
2:20
and it says on the bottom 55
2:23
charging so what's important to notice
2:25
is it doesn't say anything like charging
2:27
slowly so there's nothing weird about
2:29
this this is just given full power
2:32
coming out the top
2:33
then while we're at it what else can we
2:35
plug in well let's plug in my ipods
2:39
and let them charge and in the usb a
2:43
plug i'm going to go ahead and plug in
2:44
my headphones if i can get that to the
2:46
correct orientation
2:48
so now i'm charging my headphones i'm
2:50
charging these
2:52
and i have one extra usbc it's a very
2:55
short one but let's see if we can
2:57
maneuver things around so i can also
3:00
charge
3:01
my all-in-one dell laptop here we go so
3:04
if i plug that in here
3:08
then
3:10
the light comes on and this is also
3:12
charging so all of this is charging all
3:15
at the same time through this power
3:18
adapter
3:19
even
3:21
even though i'm also using it just as a
3:23
transformer so i can actually use a us
3:27
plug
3:28
now for those of you that travel
3:29
overseas and use these adapters you know
3:32
there are some issues here the biggest
3:33
issue is heat so what zendura's done
3:36
here is they have a 10 amp auto reset
3:40
fuse so if this thing generates heat and
3:43
right now there's no heat at all but if
3:45
it gets above 120 degrees it'll turn off
3:49
everything will power down and then once
3:51
it cools down to below 80 degrees it'll
3:54
turn back on so you don't have to travel
3:56
with extra fuses and you also don't have
3:58
to worry about it bursting into flames
4:00
which are what old school adapters do
4:03
and that's pretty scary
4:05
so like i said using it in this
4:08
configuration is not giving me full
4:10
power to this if i unplug these then
4:14
this
4:15
single plug on the side is now
4:18
delivering 61 watts of power which is
4:21
pretty nice and then these are 15 watts
4:24
also again once i plug something in here
4:28
then it splits that power so then this
4:30
drops down to 45 watts which will still
4:34
charge a lot of devices but more slowly
4:36
which you would expect
4:38
what else can i tell you about this the
4:40
plug can deliver up to 10 amps so
4:43
if you're going to travel and you're
4:44
going to use this and you're bringing
4:46
your big american hair dryer
4:48
double check how much amperage it needs
4:50
to work because it might not work 10
4:52
amps is a lot but there are personal
4:54
appliances that actually require 15 amps
4:57
or higher that's a lot of demand on a
4:59
power circuit so they're not really that
5:02
great for your electrical system be that
5:04
as it may
5:06
double check to make sure that 10 amps
5:08
is sufficient here and as i said
5:11
this actually supports different kind of
5:13
plugs so i could do the opposite i could
5:15
come from japan
5:17
and i can use a japanese hairdryer by
5:20
plugging it into this and then plugging
5:22
this into a u.s power outlet or if you
5:25
don't want japanese maybe you want an
5:26
english one or you want one from france
5:29
or you want one from south africa
5:31
whatever the advantage of this is it
5:33
supports up to 200 different countries
5:36
worth of power plugs that is a lot
5:40
and i love the colors it has they have
5:43
three colors in their prototypes this is
5:46
obviously the cool purple i'll let you
5:48
explore the other ones and i want to
5:50
emphasize this is a prototype so i
5:53
believe that the final product will have
5:55
a translucent sides like this one does
5:58
but they might make it a full metal
6:00
finish all the way around i don't know
6:02
either way this is just a phenomenally
6:05
cool color i really like their colors
6:09
and
6:09
size wise
6:11
it is and since we're doing
6:13
international i'm going to give you
6:14
international sizes
6:15
51 millimeters by 78 millimeters by
6:19
millimeters and it's not the lightest
6:22
thing in the world but it's also not
6:23
very heavy and if you're traveling and
6:25
packing to go overseas whatever
6:27
direction that overseas may look like
6:30
then adding this to your bag just means
6:32
that you have a massively more
6:34
flexibility which is pretty important
6:36
when you want to power up your phone or
6:38
your earbuds or your headphones or your
6:39
computer or who knows what the heck your
6:42
shaver your foot massager i don't know
6:45
what you travel with i don't tend to
6:46
travel with things that big but be that
6:48
as it may
6:49
this is the zender passport 3 and i'm
6:54
going to give you some information on
6:55
pricing and where you can sign up to
6:56

7:16
the company tells me that their early
7:18
bird pricing they're going to do this
7:19
through kickstarter is going to be
7:21
around 35 which makes me think that
7:24
maybe the final production price will be
7:26
49.99 or something right around there
7:29
whatever either price this is a solid
7:32
option to have for any traveler or road
