Some aftermarket batteries come with a larger storage capacity than the original GoPro batteries and cost much less. GoPro Hero4 Cameras can use a battery backpack. The backpack will extend your battery life, usually by double. GoPro Hero5 cameras and newer cannot use the battery backpack because they do not have the same connection on the back.
A mobile power bank is one of the best ways to keep your GoPro going through extended shooting. Even with the more basic models, you can more than 10x your battery life. This charger by RAVPower has mAh — compared to the standard mAh that comes with the camera — provides almost 14x the power. This means that your GoPro is no longer waterproof.
As you can see, you can use a power bank for all your GoPro cameras as long as you have the right cable. You will need to buy an extra cable to use it with Hero5 Black. Another great accessory to have is a solar charger, especially if you like to camp or go on long hiking trips. You can plug your GoPro directly into it, or use its mobile battery pack.

We cover action cameras and outdoor photography with a focus on GoPro cameras. She also blogs about travel at Storyteller. You are dealing with a very complex system with numerous failure points , including the camera, the batteries, the SD card, the CamDo controller, physical stress due to temperature or other factors, and acts of any passing god or bird.
Bad things can happen. Never install a system without testing it for at least one week where it can be observed and tested. Never leave it unchecked for more than a few days. If the shoot is important, install more than one camera. CamDo sells two batteries which are useful for extending the battery life, the V15, 15 Wh battery , and the V44, 44 Wh battery. The V72 Wh battery can be used in certain circumstances, but because it lacks the always on mode, it will shut down if there is not a constant drain.
The V15 battery adds 15 Wh to the internal battery energy. The shooting time will be 4. Minus some inefficiency from the camera charging circuitry. It lasted just over 24 hours. Video is harder to predict. For very long shots off grid, the solar panels can provide enough power to shoot for a very long time.
In this case, you may need to decide the spacing between shots to maximize the time. Remember that you have to have sufficient battery backup to get through the rainy days as well as sufficient solar power to recharge the batteries on sunny days. With a 6 Watt solar panel you can assume that it will only approach 6 Watts output at noon in mid-summer if the panel is perfectly oriented. Similarly with a 9 Watt solar panel , it will only approach 9 Watts output at noon in mid-summer if the panel is perfectly oriented.
The rest of the time, the output will be reduced due to the angle of the sun striking the panel, and the extra absorption of energy by the atmosphere as the sun angle is low in the sky. Add to this the number of hours of sun per day that are not obscured by clouds. All of these factors will vary with your location. There seems to be a problem serving the request at this time.
The GoPro Hero 3 has several features that can help you get action shots during filming. Its a portable device that uses a dedicated battery as a power source while youre in the field. If your current battery seems to be running low, or you would like to stock up on extras, you can find a new GoPro Hero 3 battery on eBay.
The GoPro Hero 3 typically uses a lithium-ion battery. The chemical composition of Li-ion batteries gives them a few potential benefits. Some of the main characteristics of these batteries are detailed here:. Various batteries that are compatible with the GoPro Hero 3 can have different capacities. The capacity you see listed for a battery is an estimate. You can use this number to determine approximately how long a single battery will power your GoPro on one charge.
Various factors or situations could influence how long the battery lasts before you need to recharge it. Charging cable doesn't work. Charge port is broken. LCD panel won't turn on screen. Screen is cracked. Faulty LCD. GoPro freezes up. Software update. Wrong SD card. SD error message.
Corrupt SD card. Wrong SD Format. No sound or distorted in videos. Microphone is broken. Water damage. Record button doesn't work. No WiFi connection. Add Comment. I have a GP, used it lightly maybe 20 times. The POS is failing already. Hi matrox! What type of GoPro do you have? SD corrupt?
