Digital camera reviews of Monster MP OTG400 BK Outlets To Go 4 Outlet Travel Power Strip (Black)
Digital camera Review: Does exactly what it it supposed to do
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been wanting a product like this for a very long time. Hotel rooms never seem to have enough outlets on their work desks (or the outlets are too close together to accomodate chargers, powerbricks, etc.) This doesn't provide a real extension cord, but it is compact and the outlets are well spaced. I now bring it on all of my out of town trips.Digital camera Review: Does not work overseas
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this, assuming that if it was marketed for travelers, and thus it would work overseas. In the future, I'll have to always check tech specs before buying. It works great in the US (110v). It's compact, has five outlets that allow for transformers, and packs in luggage well. However, it does not work with other overseas voltages (220v). In the past, I've always traveled overseas with 1 or 2 universal travel adapters, and a US power strip so that I can plug in my computer, cell phone, PDA, camera, video camera, etc. all at the same time. This works well, as many power strips don't have any electronics in them. They simply transfer the power from wall to the outlets. Of course, power strips are more bulky than this item, and one must ensure all electronics plugged into it are 220v compatible. I didn't notice the "reset" button on this device until I tried to use it overseas and blew the breaker in my room. This is so that if you overload it, you can unplug something and then simply reset it, rather than having to buy a fuse. It also caused the fuse to blow in the Kensington universal adapter that I plugged it into. This is a good item for travel in the US, but don't plan on using it overseas.Digital camera Review: Don't Buy It!

I have used Monster brand products before and always had good results, but the first time I plugged 2 items into this strip it blew out. I would not recommend this to anyone!Digital camera Review: Easy To Carry
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe not critical gear, but easy to pack and carry when traveling (I used in Italy to split one transformer into multiple charings simultaneously). Worth having.Digital camera Review: Easy to pack
Summary: 5 Stars
I took this outlet to a cruise. It is not like other chargers or outlets with unnecesery length wire. I could put it in my make-up bag. I am very happy with it.
