GoPro Battery Life.... Solution!
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:22 pmRighto,
if you are a fan of go pro's etc..... except the shitty battery life they offer! I have found the answer!
Righto, I don't know about you mob, but the rate of battery consumption on the gopro side of the house is ludicrous
I am so getting one of these, will modify it and make a waterproof socket in a couple of likely mounting locations and power it via the battery. Then I will have no issues with using the WiFi function etc. Have the GP on a rolling record so I don't miss the cool shit etc....Hopefully it will reduce the fogging also, as it won't generate the heat that a battery does!
Initially browsing the interwizzle i came across this Aussie vendor....

however, at 13-20 days before shipping plus $20+ for postage..... they can eat a massive bag!
it is funny, that to get it delivered in Oz it was over $20, yet DHL global from New York to Canberra... USD$9.25

I have bought a fair bit of stuff from B&H over the years, very good service. Even with the ozzie peso being way below parity you can still get the odd bargain from there! Decent filters for my DSLR were way cheaper to import than buy locally..... Almost half price for the Hoya's when i ordered them a couple of years back. Same with a carbon fibre tripod etc....
oh and here is what initially inspired me!
