The first item we go over is the new SuperCharger from GoPro. It is the latest charger from GoPro that has two USB slot that allows you to charge two devices at once. One is a traditional USB slot that can charge any GoPro or compatible USB device including the Hero 5 Black and The Hero 5 Session.

The package also comes with international adaptors which makes this a great accessory for people who travel abroad.
GoPro States that you can charge compatible GoPro devices from 20% to 70% faster when utilizing the USB-C port.

You can power your GoPro continuously while plugged into the supercharger for long extended time-lapses or overnight night-lapses.
