Compatibility with Canon EOS R50

The R50 has a USB-C port that supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for charging the internal LP-E17 battery (when the camera is off) or powering the camera directly (when on).

• This 65W GaN charger provides more than enough power (R50 typically needs ~9V/3A or similar PD profiles, well within the charger’s capabilities).
• Use a good USB-C to USB-C PD-rated cable (the one included with the EcoFlow is ideal).
• Many users successfully charge R-series cameras (including R50/R10/R8) with similar high-quality PD chargers.

Note: Results can vary with cable quality and exact PD negotiation. If charging doesn’t start, try a different high-quality PD cable or ensure the camera is powered off.

Why It’s Great for Your R50 Kit

• Travel-friendly: Pairs perfectly with the compact R50 and your shoulder bag — much smaller than bulky stock chargers.
• Multi-device: Charge the camera + phone + spare battery/power bank at once.
• Fast & Efficient: Faster charging than basic wall adapters; low heat output.
• Build Quality: Reliable brand (EcoFlow), with good user feedback on portability and performance.

Price: Typically ~$30–$40 (often bundled with the cable).

Recommendations

• For batteries: This charges the camera internally. For dedicated LP-E17 battery charging outside the camera, consider third-party USB-C dual chargers (e.g., from K&F, llano, or Watson) that plug into this EcoFlow unit.
• Spare batteries: Get 1–2 extra LP-E17s + this charger for all-day use.
• Power on the go: Pair with a USB-C PD power bank for extended shoots
