Is it good for outdoor use such as camping?

Depends on what you wanting it for...I wouldn't count on it to be 100% water tight, and it is in no way even remotely "bear proof". It's decent general purpose light-duty tote with wheels.

We use it for camping and it works great. It's also great because the fan blades are foam, so you can't e injured by it.

I can't see why not, but bear in mind that it is quite heavy, so may not be suitable for camping.

It can be used for outdoor projects if you use a clear varnish protective coating. My husband makes rain gauges and birdhouses that hold up well, if using a clear varnish coating.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

I would say not for long-term use. If you wanted to plug it in outside while you were there then yes but not for the direct sun or weather /rain

Normally, I wouldn't think to use this outdoors, unless in good weather. I use mine for travel. It allows me to use one plug (in an airport, for example) and charge several things at the same time. As well, I use it at my desk at home because it allows me to have multiple items (laptop, tablet, smartphone, bluetooth keyboard) plugged in and charging all at once.

Its good for outside use. I like the brightness, having a built-in speaker also is a plus.

Can it be used outdoors? Yes. Is it wise or likely to end well? No, no it's not. :)

Yes, it could probably be used for that purpose. However, I'm not sure how well it will hold up exposed to the elements.

Wait, these were two different answers, I have the same question, can I use it for camping? did you find out?

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

I contacted the company earlier and they said that it is NOT meant for outdoors. Thanks for all the answers.

It is designed for photography. I suppose you could use it outdoors with photofloods if you have a long enough extension cord.

I've only used it outdoors & in my tent but it gives out a lot of light so it should be adequate. I usually take it apart & only need one small light for walking around while camping. I love it!

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.
