Reddit reviews SF Cable, 2 Prong Right Angle Plug Adapter, USA IEC 60320-C7 Receptacle to NEMA 1-15P

meh, looks like it adds unnecessary bulk and complication.

A simpler $4 solution.

You can do the same with the following:

Just be aware the second adapter needs some modification with a knife to get some of the plastic.

eBay $2.50 each

Amazon prime $8 each

I would either keep what you have and not buy a lens, or buy the 25mm f/1.7 with the intent of selling at least one of your lenses to offset the cost.

Here are a few things I have and use:

• short plug - traveling with the long gray cable the charger comes with is a pain. This plug will work in the US, Thailand and China.
  
• peak design capture - I wear a backpack when traveling, this makes my camera always accessible.
  
• travel tripod - If you want a travel tripod and aren't sure that you'll use it, this is a decent choice. If you get this and the pd capture, you'll also want an arca-swiss compatible clamp.
  
  Other notes:
  
  You'll get about 3 hours of camera on-time. To get better battery life, turn off your camera when not taking pictures.
  
  To start, try to align 2 things in a picture: the subject of the photo, and having a pleasing/interesting background. A wide aperture can help with that, but isn't required.
  
  Try to get some practice taking pictures before you go, practice really helps.
  
  Starting out, try shooting in RAW+JPEG.
  
  Beyond that, have fun and take lots of pictures!

• the lensmate thumb grip (expensive but better than the cheap ones)
  
• soft shutter release (get a variety pack to see which you like best, i prefer the concave ones)
  
• screen protector
  
• a right angle plug for the charger if you don't like the long cord
  
  

You can, I dunno what Rain_Coast is on about. I bought two things as soon as I bought my E-M5 II, first one is this duck plug (similar to what comes with some Apple chargers) so I wouldn't have to carry the cable and could plug the Oly AC charger right into the wall (it's not that big, hangs fine).

Second, I bought this USB charger so I could charge two batteries simultaneously without tying up additional outlets, as a bonus it's also smaller. I typically charge my Watson battery on this one and the OEM battery on the OEM charger, but they'll charge the other way around as well.

I have not verified if they'll charge to exactly 100% (which is a common occurrence when mixing OEM batteries and third party chargers) but I'm not too bothered if it's left at 90% or whatever since that's healthier for the battery anyway and I always carry multiple ones.

I've heard the Watsons are by far the best third party ones as far as yielding close to the same capacity as the OEM stuff. YMMV with newer battery models like the E-M1 II's, though I'm pretty sure there's single and dual USB chargers for those too. I have two Wasabis I rarely use (got them as part of a third car charger I bought for camping and using off solar).

I'm actually kind glad Oly ships a cabled charger, left the cable plugged into an outlet under my desk so I can just reach for it when I wanna charge at home rather than hunting for a free outlet. Got a cabled Pana charger too (from an imported GM1) that I've left alongside it and USB Pana charger for travel too.

Edit: There's third party AC chargers as well of course, the Watson ones seem neat in that they have these swappable plates for different batteries. I bought one and a fresh battery to hopefully sell w/my GM1...

I found a 12' here.

What you need to look for is a 'right-angle IEC 60320-c7' connector, sometimes called an IEC C7 for short.

Another option is this unit from Amazon but you probably didn't want to plug that into an extension cord. (It is an idea though.)

Something like this?

Get this, problem solved

The great thing with adhering to a global standard (though in fact Apple does too, but as usual only on their own terms) is that you have options.

I am a big fan of this Anker's USB-C power supply. Works fine for all my legacy devices and also for my cell phone and Pixelbook.

And the best part is, while it comes with a power cord, you can install an adapter to turn it into a wall charger. I haven't tried yet, but I imagine this also works with European plugs.

I installed an extra long 10ft USB charging cable. That's the beauty of having a device that you can plug arbitrary cables into, rather than being limited by the power supply that came with your device.

This is in my wishlist https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8C6ULO - Anker USB Type-C, Anker Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with Power Delivery for Apple MacBook, Nexus 5X / 6P and PowerIQ for iPhone, iPad, Samsung & More. Plus something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OGXY72 (already shown below)

The mag connector end or the 120v end that plugs into the wall?

If it's the 120V end, the Surface power bricks use a standard IEC 320 / C7 form factor, like this one for $8 from Amazon.

I have one of these for travelling because it's one less cord and most hotels have an outlet on the desk lamp these days.

I picked up a 45W USB C charger for about USD $34. I don't have my X1C5 yet and I don't know what the charging time difference is between the 65W and 45W charger but it's pretty compact and light.

Edit: I believe what you are looking for is [NEMA 1-15P to C7] (https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-Adapter-60320-C7-receptacle/dp/B004OGXY72/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1494564618&sr=1-6&keywords=NEMA+1-15P+to+C7). I have never used these and not sure of the quality.

Edit 2: Also, make sure if you need a polarized connector. The one linked above is non-polarized and may not work if the charger requires a polarized one.

So replace the cord with this, and don't pay the Apple Industrial Design tax

I hate to jab designs, but with Apple's method, you HAVE TO expect them to provide any and all adapters and cords under the sun for differing regions (or have accessory OEMs jump on the bandwagon), ADDING TO THE WHOLE BOTTOM LINE. Plus the whole design aspect of incorporating differing standards and plugs OUTSIDE of the power AC adapter's electrical standards for differing regions.

In short, not different in application methods either way, the ONLY regard is how "pretty" that outlet space looks... WHICH DOESN'T matter! Who the fuck would look at the plugs at a wall and go "ARTISTIC!" almost all the time and awe at it? And it doesn't solve a fundamental functional problem if two users come with the same paradigm of a power brick to a wall (AND even if you have them both sideways, the weight no doubt would be an issue too OR space with furniture or other things near the outlets).

And with either method, one still would have to be prone to travel with the cord or adapter, meaning a decision and action every time one leaves their residence to pack (that doesn't lessen EASE), which would just end up the user just carrying both, meaning more bulk, rather than a cord that can simply wind around the box and be closer to the box and the wall (unwrapping if needed cord length than be reliant on Apple's end of making sure the cord from the adapter to the device is long enough).

Microsoft AND OTHER OEMs (possibly) got this right in this regard, in at least for the physical connectivity, without burdening all the risk of production and implementation costs, while having the modularity that some desire.

Yes, the box CAN be designed to incorporate hooks and fasteners. My Dell Inspiron 15 of many many years back (a decade!) has included a cord wrap and the box is slightly contoured concave for the cord to nicely wind around in that direction and hell even the Surface power adapter has a small, but adequate snap for the adapter to device cord... BUT for another "prettiness" Industrial Design tradeoff, Microsoft decided to simply go with a matching rectangular box.

If anything, the cord from the adapter to the wall should be longer, and the cord to the device shorter (thus making the USB power port more accessible too rather than being in the middle and on the floor at many times condensing floor cabling). That would be a good tradeoff if one can switch cords to the device.

All you are INDEED paying for with the above to this comment, is the Industrial Design tax.... And those that cannot reason beyond initial emotional appeal will never get this.
