Dual-slot simultaneous read/write reduces time spent swapping cards, and the built-in USB-A port lets you attach a USB stick or peripheral without hunting for an extra adapter. It is lightweight enough to slip into a camera bag or pocket.

Best use cases

It’s a good fit if you need a straightforward way to transfer large photo and video files between cards and laptops or tablets. Use short bursts for quick backups on location, or keep it in a kit for occasional transfers between an iPad Pro, MacBook or Android phone that supports USB C. Bear in mind that some devices may supply limited power over USB C, which can affect transfer behaviour.
