Hello

 

Both Pro 2 and Essential are powered by micro USB. Are they interchangeable in that the solar panel for the Essential camera can also be used for the Pro 2? 

 

Also, a number of accessories are available for Pro 2 in the US (official accessories on Amazon), but not in Europe. Is there a particular reason for that? 

 

Thank you.

I am unsure why that is, please reach out to pre-sales they should have the answer to that in regard to the accessories in Europe.

 I haven't tried it, but I don't think that will work.

 

@JamesC: Unfortunately these web pages don't include the Pro or Pro 2 in the list of cameras that don't work.

They do only list the Essentials when you hover over compatible devices.  But I think it would be better if they specifically mention the older cameras.
