    Great Video. Very clear explanations that helped me pull the trigger and order a Volta as I'm a new GoPro 10 owner and noticed right away that the battery wasn't lasting very long compared to my Cannon Digital Camera.

    Great! That may be the perfect solution for the overheating problem. Just one problem: The Volta uses a USB-C port. So where or how can I connect my microphone that also uses a USB-C port? Any solution that you are aware of?

    How do you use Fast Charge Model? With the Hero 10 battery dead, and the Volta Dead...it takes 4+ hours to charge both. (approx 2.5 hrs for Hero 10 and 2+ hrs for Volta. It charges the Hero 10 first, then switches to Volta.) (45W charger) Also, when I plugged in the Hero 10 to Volta, I got a "Updating Volta" notice on the Hero 10. Prior to that I was having random bugs with the Volta while using the Media Mod. Seems like all is normal now after that update notice.

    Do you have to charge both 12 and Volta independantly ? I connected Volta to go pro but the battery lasted 3 mins. I paired them both and do the Volta provide power through cable to go pro as it runs out very quickly

    Is it just the hole in the bottom of the door that makes it non waterproof … or the sides and top of the door as well? Thinking about purchasing one to use while fly fishing … wouldn’t want to stumble and fall in the water with it … even though it might only be a few seconds under water … so if it were just a problem with the bottom hole in the door, that could be sealed easily with the cord inside … ie ,,. A bit of epoxy, etc.
    Thanks for the video.

    Приветствую коллегу по Ютубчику, вопрос у меня по данной теме, купил Volta и заметил на днях такую проблему, вечером зарядил полностью АКБ, то-есть ручку вольту, а утром было минус 1 диод на палке.
    Через три дня минус 2 диода((((
    Отключил голосовое управление,
    Отключил ВИ ФИ
    Но помоему все равно садится, храню ее подключенной к 11 прошке, без внутреннего аккума в прохе.
    В чем может быть дело? Не замечал ли подобное?

  • @thomasraden
    @thomasraden Рік тому +1

    The Volta does not charge your Gopro when recording, it only charges when not recording. When recording the Gopro drains the battery until it is flat. After that the Gopro turns off and charges from the Volta. So to get extended filming time you need to remove the battery and power your Gopro from the Volta. A design limitation.

      @@ArchaicTTV yep and I mentioned it in the comment (holder). For the info, I bought it two weeks ago and having already the different accessories for chest, head, car etc., I’m not sure I will need it on constant basis. And I think that will be the same for the majority of people using GoPro because it’s not that interesting to hold his camera compared to having it stuck on yourself (hands free to do whatever you want to).
