Pentax WG-3 GPS

whoopsumbass · 10-03-2013, 07:53 AM

I purchased a Pentax WG-3 GPS camera and it has the ability to use a Qi Inductive Charger to charge the battery wirelessly. I have searched this forum and Qi chargers in general, and would like to know if anyone knows which Qi chargers work well on the Pentax GW-3 GPS. Most chargers have specific uses, and the Pentax camera says it will work with any appropriate charger....

So which is the best to use with this camera?

thanks,

I asked your question to a CR Kennedy rep on the Pentax stand a few weeks ago at the photo equipment show. he hadn't heard about this capability. B&H does not make a recommendation in their accessory list. My underwater work next month has been postponed so I am not needing one at the moment.

My suggestion is use the B&H contact in this forum for a recommendation and then place it in their WG3 accessories. I suspect many of the Qi gizmos will do the job because they all must meet the same standard to be Qi.

I am also looking forward to an answer.
