Performance Notes
- SD and TF card slots can be used simultaneously for convenient transfers between different card formats.
- HDMI output at 4K @ 30Hz requires host device support for DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.
- All three USB 3.0 ports operate concurrently, though total bandwidth is shared across the upstream USB-C connection.
- PD charging wattage depends on the host device and connected charger; the hub passes through power without conversion.
Use Cases & Applications
Photography & Videography
Import RAW files directly from SD cards while previewing images on a 4K external monitor via HDMI. The TF card slot handles microSD cards from drones and action cameras simultaneously. Meanwhile, the USB 3.0 ports support external backup drives for immediate on-location archiving. This USB-C docking station streamlines the entire capture-to-edit workflow.
Business & Presentations
Connect to conference room displays via HDMI while accessing presentation files from a USB drive or SD card. The three USB 3.0 ports accommodate a keyboard, mouse, and wireless presenter dongle. Additionally, the PD pass-through keeps your laptop charged throughout extended meetings.
Remote & Hybrid Work
Set up a productive home workstation with an external monitor, multiple peripherals, and quick access to memory cards for file transfers. The compact 0.15-meter cable keeps your desk organized, and the aluminum build stays cool even during all-day use.
Education & Content Creation
Teachers and online course creators can import lesson materials from SD cards, display content on classroom screens via HDMI, and connect USB peripherals—all through one hub. For instance, a YouTuber can simultaneously transfer footage from a camera SD card, preview edits on an external display, and back up files to a USB drive.
Travel & Mobile Productivity
The lightweight aluminum design and short cable length make this USB-C docking station easy to pack alongside your laptop and camera gear. Frequent travelers gain seven ports without carrying a tangle of separate adapters and card readers.
Compatibility
The Vention USB-C docking station works with most devices that support DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB-C data, and Power Delivery. Compatible devices include MacBook Pro and Air (2018 and later), Dell XPS series, HP Spectre and EliteBook lines, Lenovo ThinkPad models, Samsung Galaxy Tab S series, and iPad Pro with USB-C. The SD and TF card readers support SDHC and SDXC formats up to UHS-I speeds on all major operating systems including Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux. However, some budget USB-C laptops may not support video output or full PD wattage. Always verify your device supports DP Alt Mode before purchasing for HDMI display use.
