[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 388992, member: 5461"] I love filming with my GoPro. Best thing I ever did was buy a skeleton case and a battery eliminator (see link for eliminator). [url]https://www.amazon.com/Switronix-DVGP3USB-Battery-Eliminator-10-Feet/dp/B00JXNX6BU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433352938&sr=8-1&keywords=gopro+battery+eliminator[/url] It allows me to use an auxiliary battery pack. I can get about 12 hours of run time out of a $15 rechargeable battery pack, or unlimited time if you plug it into a wall, car outlet, etc. I actually installed a USB port in my boat that connects to my batteries so I can just plug the camera in and record all day. It's sooooo nice not to worry about changing batteries and all that crap. When I go fishing, I turn the camera on, set it to a 5 minute loop and let it run all day. If something exciting happens, I hit the button to lock in only the last 5 minutes and the loop starts over. The camera can run all day and not fill up the card, capturing only the exciting stuff like catching a fish. I also got the flexible clamp mount, which is worth its weight in gold. [/QUOTE]
