As a photographer, have you gotten around to using CFexpress cards despite the higher costs? If not, then this new option just might convince you to change things up.

There’s nothing more useless than a nice charger or power bank in your bag without a cable to use with it. This new charger line prevents that annoying mistake from happening.
