Any of these hubs will need to be powered to run cameras or USB-Serial adapters, etc.
I have a 12-5V DC converter that I bought from Jaycar. It is capable of 2amps supply so running a couple of cameras is not an issue. Seems to have been fine thus far.

Some good advice here.
I'd like to find out more about the Hitec Astro Mount Hub Pro. Is it worth the expense?
Greg.
