I also bought a right-angle USB extension cord to go along with this so that I'd have a little extra room to work with and a nice right-angle fit on the USB from the camera.
Now it overheats and does not power anything anymore. The main chip on it looks fried and it only outputs 2V now, so in the trash it goes. I will probably scavenge the wires and use another (better) buck converter I have laying around.

UPDATE - i have evidence that the the product stops charging intermittently with constant 12.6V 500mA power supply on a bench. Now i have to replace the buck converter and solder my self. One minute it will charge with 413mA and 5 minutes later it flip to -339mA discharge.
Do not buy unless you plan to modify. I will try to get refund but i am past the deadline.
