This arrived well protected by close cell foam in a very descriptive box. Inside was the power station/bank, a USB C to USB C cable, a USB C to cigarette lighter output in case you want to run a spotlight or something that works with that type of connection, and a small manual. Everything was in perfect shape. My purpose for getting this is solely for backup power for power outages, which we sometimes have usually due to strong thunder storms. This will power and charge our phones, tablets, and even laptop without issue. We need those items running to find out the status of the storms and power outage, and also to keep us entertained some until the power returns. If necessary, it can easily charge our flash lights also. This unit arrived at about 57% charge. I easily charged it using a not included USB A to USB C cable I already had to a USB A charging port on our APC surge protector. It charged fine this way but did take a few hours to reach 100%. I think they should have included the wall plug if you were going to charge it at a regular outlet, not just the USB C cable. If you want to charge it at a outlet, you will need to supply your own plug or buy it separately. It has a very clear and easy to read control panel with an LED display and all the necessary input and output connections. It has a large and quite bright LED light attached so you can see what you are doing. You can adjust the brightness (there are two settings I believe), and also have it blink SOS, or a very fast strobe effect, I guess to attract attention. I can see where this would be great for camping, but that is not how I intend to use it. There is a pull out tray you can lean a phone on. It seems unnecessary for home use, but would be helpful camping. The bottom of the power station and the phone tray has rubber pads to help it stay where you put it. It also has a nice soft carrying handle. For my purpose, this is one of those things I am thankful to have, and hope I never have to use it. I will keep it charged and it will be invaluable should the power go out again. It works quite well and did everything it was advertised to do. It looks and feels like a quality product. I think it is reasonable value for the money.

I tested this in January, so it's not the most direct sunlight. I did adjust the angle until the current maxed out. With a clear sky, I measured 670mA using a 6.3W load resistor. This should read about 1000mA for a 5W output, but shows closer to a 2.8W output. These weren't ideal conditions, but I don't see it reaching 5W even with an ideal load and sunlight. The cameras need ~5W max and spend most of their time in standby mode using less than 1W. If you only check the cameras infrequently, this would work. If you check them frequently or stream video a couple hours a day, I would suggest another option.

I love the design and portability. But, that's about it. I tried plugging in my phone, but the connection between the port and the cord is somewhat loose. If I hold the point of connection just right, it charges. But if I plug it in and leave it, the charge is simply hit or miss. The AC Outlet functions, but it is weak. It'd be okay for a light or small fan. But I would not feel comfortable using it with equipment that needs a strong/steady draw of electricity. My candle warmer displays an obvious difference when plugged in to the inverter and when plugged in to the wall outlet. If I can see the difference with just a simple little halogen bulb.....
