Great tip! I've been using these Anker power banks for years and several sitting unused in my drawer. I guess I found a new use for them with my Hero 8!
Yes it has been a game changer. Nothing like your battery running out of juice in the middle of a crazy catch!!!
Thank you! Your solid
Thank you Billy!
Awesome! Will be using this rig setup on my next fishing trip! Thanks!
Awesome!!! Let me know how you like it !!!! Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment also I really appreciate it!!!
Thaankkk you so much. Im super new to UA-cam. But i love fishing. It’s so Nice with the power bank. I am buying the hero 8 very soon. I cant wait. Keep up the good work. from Denmark
I appreciate it! Let me know if you have any other questions about it I'd be more than happy to help!!!!
just got mine set up using the same sidedoor cant wait to try it out
Have fun!!!
@@NickeeGee i will have to wait till the warmer seasons come because its about to be winter here lol
Enjoyed your video . . . thank you. I tuck my Anker battery pack under the elastic strap on the back of the chesty mount which works well for me. Thanks again.
I'll have to try that! Sometimes putting the rig fully in the front of the chesty makes it cumbersome when I'm trying to jig!
Thanks for sharing that. Helped me out for my fishing videos.
My pleasure! Thank you for leaving the nice comment!
Adhesive Velcro would be good on the back of you chesty and power band!
That's a great suggestion! I'm looking for a few more ways to get good points of view too. The chest mount is nice because you don't have to think about it but I think I like the head mount POV better. What do you like ??
Awesome information, I just subscribed!
Thank you so much!!!
I have seen tons of videos on this using a external power bank. I am surprised that you have not experienced heating issues w your camera leaving the batery in and bascially charging all the time. I have experimented with my GP7. It overheats leaving the battery in the camera and will shut down. When I take it out, no problems.
Thanks for the video.
Yeah so far no problem at all with my GoPro overheating. Even in the Florida sun it's been fine ! Only time I've ever had issues overheating is when it's head mounted in direct sun.
Thanks for the easy quick mod! Subscribed!
Hey thank you for leaving the comment! I super appreciate it!!!
Why not use the neck strap with snap mount get rid of the chest mount, put the battery charger to a pocket ( shirt with zipped pocked ) there you got at least 200 gr lighter setup and no wobbling
That's a good idea too!!!
Nice setup man.
I use a similar chest rig set up to film my dog tracking deer. There is a company called 3BR power sports that makes a housing with a water prof door/USB cable combination that works really well. Some of our deer recovery is done at night so i looked and looked for a light that is good for video and that will reach out further than the normal video lights that i could mount on my chest rig. The Nitecore HU60 is small 1300 lumen head lamp that is powered strictly from a USB power bank. I use a 20000mHh power bank with two USB charge ports that run both the Hero 8 and the light. I have the power bank in pouch that clips to my belt. The rig works really well.
Thanks for leaving that comment I really appreciate it! I'll have to check out the 3BR accessory it sounds like it could be super useful for fishing.
Glen Davidson, I'm glad the 3BR accessory has solved your need.
I would have loved if it managed to be waterproof (IP66 or IP67), and not just protected against rain and splashes (IP65). Since I do kayak fishing in the open sea, it would have been an excellent solution for me.
Hey can you send me the link to the pouch for your belt your talking about. Your powerbank sounds like mine but I keep having connection issues. Iv kept It in my back pocket and their seems to be issues with my connection. I kept it in my back pocket and sat down on it a few times and I guess it damaged the port although me sitting on it was not all the sever or put much pressure on anything. I bought a new one and sat down on the bass boat and forgot to remove it from my pocket and those connection issues are happening again.
@@BassmasterTL The pouch had used was just an old hunting belt with some pouches on it. I had the same problem with the usb connections staying put. I ended up finding some short usb exstension cables that had a 90 degree plug on one end that I plugged into the power bank. I used a velcro strap that I wrapped around the power bank and extension cables that held everything in place. That worked well.
Now I am using the Nitecore power bank that has the clip on it that clamps to the usb connector from the Nitecore headlight. That works great. I still use the 90 degree usb cable for the usb cable from the camera.
hey thanks man! Gonna give this a try. Do you have another setup now?
Go for it! And my setup is slightly different now but this one is still totally applicable. Ive moved from GoPro to DJI Osmo Action series because the GoPros have failed me multiple times.
Dang you edited out the part of the battery slipping out of the zip ties when plugging in the USB 😂
Lol
Great episode. Brudda
Thank you fro sharing
Glad I could help!
Great video!! Thanks bro
Hey I appreciate the comment!!!
What I did was to use it without the GoPro's battery, so it wont overheat. I don't know if every gopro allows you to record while charging with no battery, mine is Hero 9. I have the xiaomi's powerbank with 5v to 9v 3A output.
That's a good idea!
Great tips!!
Thank you!!!!
this trick works with anything; I use it to keep my BT speaker going all day long and my GP all day long, been doing this for a few years already. My MP3 player doesnt need it as its awesome as it is :)
That's awesome! Glad it has multiple uses !
I tried this set up it was alright but not the best, some shots I had my hands / reel in the way of the shot… didn’t get a good shot while kneeling down releasing a fish …
There are definitely pros and cons of the chest setup, and I find myself switching between head and chest a lot. I'm actually going to do a video comparing the two but for chest make sure you have your field of view set to as wide as possible and also on releases you may have to use your other hand to adjust the camera appropriately.
Hi I m from india very helpful for me I m new angler and this realy helps me lot
That is great to hear! Cheers from the U.S.!
Nice captain 👍🏾
Thank you sir !!!
Muy buena recomendación. Gracias
De nada!
Great video and advice👍
Thank you for leaving that comment I really appreciate it!!!!
How about the overheating issue
I actually had zero overheating issues with this setup. One reason I like this setup was because when the camera was on my head it was overheating from the Florida sun but on my chest had no issues at all.
Thanks a lot for this. Straight to the point and no BS.
I also have that snap mount, which I stick to the hood of my car. Do you think the ties would be strong enough to hold the charger if I've tied the charger to the mount itself?
I think the ties would hold no problem. I'd be more worried on whether the magnet would hold the additional weight of the charger but maybe I'm thinking differently in your setup.
Thanks for the comment!!!
@@NickeeGee thanks, I agree I have to be cautious with this setup. Maybe limiting the driving speed would help. Got to give it a try.
@@aan3378 good luck! Let me know how it goes I'm curious on the snap mounts staying power
Thanks everyone for watching! Check out my FULL Review of the GoPro Hero 9 here- ua-cam.com/video/WfBQa3lxArU/v-deo.html
Could a person Velcro the battery to the back?
Yes you could!
Pero esto serviría sólo en actividades en seco. Si está lloviendo o serenando, no se puede.
Thanks my friend 👍👍
Absolutely! Thanks for the nice comment!
Here’s some food for thought, try using play-Doh clay and push it in and around the hole of the new door that you installed for the power cables. You can also stuff it around the usb jack of the battery, and here’s on more tips. You can daisy chain the batteries. You can run a usb cable from one battery to the other. . Instead of using zip-ties, try Velcro, or even better, to keep to heat away for your GoPros , zip-tie the battery/ batteries to your chest harness, one of each side so that the Weight is even on the harness. I know if would kick my OCD in big time. Lol. And as for the cables, you can cut some very small slices into the harness ( them use some heat to melt any stray threads and to make the size hardened ) that way the holes will not get any larger. This way you can run a longer cable from one battery to to next and then to the gopro. More batteries, more running time and less heat from the batteries , as the batteries charge the gopro , and now you will have less of a load on them as well
Those are all awesome ideas! I definitely think the Velcro is an upgrade I'll do soon to make it easy to just stick on and off!
the hole ain't the only way water will get in, gopro doors use a rubber padding on the inner side to seal it shut from water, that ulanzi door doesn't have the correct padding so water will enter from every seam you see.
I see one issue. When I start record on my go pro with additional power bank if there is battery on go pro, camera is charging from power bank but working on factory battery. It's different when I switch on go pro, add cable from power bank and remove battery. Then camera work on my power bank only. In first scenario it happen that my battery died even when she was charged by power bank and I lost precious record.
I am sorry that happened. Which GoPro are you using?
thanks for the info
You bet!
info on that set up love the mount for the go pro
It’s called the Snap Mount !
using the gopro 10 im having trouble with the camera running hot when having the battery in it. However if i remove the battery and run it directly via powerbank or external supply, i'm not having nearly the same issues as it mostly the battery generating heat. I really like the idea of having an external powerbank - but as a minor tweak i think that velcro might be a better choice than zip-ties.
Yeah looking back I think Velcro would be much faster ! I only worry if it gets wet will it still hold.
@@NickeeGee Love your channel
Thank you!@@kasperkat454
Does it overheat and stops recording?
@@tigergray1100 it wouldn't overheat by plugging it in, only if the GoPro would overheat normally
BUT when its raining you have to go back to the normal GoPro batteries? Just to ensure your GoPro stays water proof?
Yes, this setup does not guarantee waterproof, however it's still decently water resistant. I've been in some salt spray offshore and it's held up
Question: I noticed you didn't remove the internal battery on your Gorpro. Does it overheat when recording for hours? Or the internal battery needs to be removed for better results. Thanks for sharing this video. It's very helpful. Power is knowledge.
I never had an issue recording and it overheating. I will disclose this was the GoPro Hero 9, and I only filmed on 1080p at 60FPS. I know the Hero 10 is when the overheating issues really started to come about. Hopefully this helps!
Should you also remove the GoPro battery when you have it plugged into the power bank?
I used to leave the battery in, but it doesn't matter.
Awesome vid! How much recording time do you get with your sd card? do you have to switch out sd cards? I use a 128gb card, but can only get up to 2-3 hours.
Thanks Adrian!! What do you record in? I record in 1080p 60 frames per second most of the time, and normally am using hindsight feature on the GoPro Hero 9 which allows me to really only record what I need to so I rarely have that much footage. I actually just tested it and it says I can get 3 hours and 56 minutes of recording time shooting at 1080p 60 FPS on a 128GB card. I hope that helps and thank you for taking the time to leave that comment I really appreciate it!!!
Will this setup work for a gopro 10??
Yes it will!
I do kayak fishing in the open sea and I liked your idea to do it on the boom stick of my camera. Unfortunately I am at risk of tipping over or a wave hitting the camera and that is what made me hesitate to use your option. I'm thinking about how I could better seal the power cord entry so it's easy to put on and take off each time it's used. I think that would finish solving my problem.
Just to share my experience. I heard about the 3BR case a long time ago and was excited by the idea of finally having waterproof power from a power bank. Unfortunately when I contacted the brand they told me that it only protects against rain and light splashes (IP65 rating), but not if hit by a wave, and it costs more than $60usd. That makes me lean more towards your option, I just have to find a simple way to seal it with some material that I can remove after each use.
If you've come up with a way to fix it, I'd love to hear it.
Tight lines!
Thanks for the awesome reply! I'm not sure exactly which camera you're using but I know GoPro came out recently with a cord that offers some added water protection..the other thing I've seen people do is use some plyable silicone to form a watertight seal. Either way there's not a 100% way for it to be waterproof which stinks. You'd think they would have come up with something by now...
I have done it with hot melt glue around the plug while in the hole. Can still remove the door. You can also just leave the battery out as the pack will power the camera. I have still not found a way to run the gopro 10 at a high framerate without it overheating. I got over 6hrs before my Micro SD card was full (was already half full) at 30 frames per second 1080. But at 60 frames per second at 2.7K, shut down with heat after 30 minutes.
@@snappagrabba thanks for sharing your solution with the glue. Do you have a video or something showing how it looks and work with the glue?
I ordered the new Go Pro 9 and I am ordering the Ulanzi door you mentioned in your video, I am not sure if or how to take the door off my go pro with out breaking it or dont see how to pop off the go pro side door it come with do you have suggestions on how to remove the door without breaking it to replace with the Ulnzi door? Thanks
Hi there! See below directly from GoPro's website. You should be able to just open the door fully and it should pull off once it's fully open. There's also a bunch of UA-cam videos on it also!
community.gopro.com/s/article/HERO9-Black-How-to-Operate-the-Side-Door?language=en_US
How many mm you use the zip tie
Not sure exactly but the link to the exact ones I use are in the description!
What type of chest mount are u using? Thanks
Just the GoPro official mount!
what video resolution do you record on your GoPro? for fishing. I've just ordered a gopro10 and just wondering what I should record on mainly I was thinking 2.7k 60fps? would love to hear your opinion
cheers mate
I mainly shoot on 1080p 60fps, but the main reason is so I can save the space on my SD card. I'd definitely shoot 2.7k 60fps if you have more than one SD card but I typically try to pack as minimal as possible. Let me know if you have any other questions!!!
@@NickeeGee thanks bro think ill go with 1080 60 as well.
with the gopro10 can you recommend more details on the settings you use? i just want to make sure once I get home an start editing the clips look perfect. cheers
@@tides4298 I typically will use Low Sharpness, Max ISO 400, EV Comp -.05, and then flat color profile. This gives me the most control of how it looks in post processing, but if you just want to have it look good and not worry about anything in post, I'd just shoot in automatic color profile, medium sharpness.
by the way a tip for future videos i would invest in a mic
Thank you for the tip!
So a few questions, do you leave your internal battery in the go pro when connected to the external battery? I have done that and it over heats still.
Also, if I take out the internal battery and connect to a external battery, can you still Bluetooth to the camera?
I've always left my battery IN, and haven't had a problem. What settings are you using when you are recording?
I haven't tested the bluetooth connected to external battery without internal battery, but I will test and let you know!
@@NickeeGee I am using the 2.7k/60/W
@@jameslambe13 Interesting. I'll have to test that out, I normally film in 1080 60p.
@@NickeeGee thanks, I'll try that out
Does your gopro charge still while filming?
Yes it does !
@@NickeeGee my 12 doesn't :(
@@gunnerranch that's odd, like it will lose battery even still plugged in?
I recently brought a yolotech juice box u can get 6 plus hours of recording time
I'll have to check those out!!!
Lose the zip ties and get mini bungi cards.
I'll check those out thanks man!
My neighbor turned me a stick to put in the hole on the back of the boat where the back seat goes. I mount my go pro on it with a bungi card wrapped around the battery pack against the stick. This way I can catch every angle. I can swivel it to the right if I'm fishing the starboard side or turn it left if fishing the port side. Check me/it out on 185VSRANGER hit me with a comment on a video tell me what you think. I have some full length videos the shorter ones I was just learning. You don't have to like or subscribe just check out how the view is set up. Hope it helps.
Do you ever run an external mic with a setup like this?
Yes I do!
When I use the power bank I have to start recording first because if I don’t and plug it in it says usb connected and I can’t just leave it on and use hind sight when I actually hook on. Is there anyway I can use the power bank and not be recording the whole time and use hindsight without it saying usb connected
Does the USB connected prevent you from actually using hindsight or is it just saying "usb connected"?
Is there a way u can put it on charge but not record the whole time and choose when to record with out it saying usb connected
When you have it hooked up, and hit record with it plugged in what happens?
Awesome video . Not sure if I missed it but how long does it last?
Thank you Becca! This rig will last me a full 8 hour day of fishing. Of course I don't record 8 hours of video but I have fishes multiple 8 hour days in the gulf of Mexico and have yet to be without battery. For reference I have two batteries, one as a backup, and then one in the camera as it's hooked up. Let me know if you have any more questions!!!
@@NickeeGee oh perfect ! Thanks for the quick response ! I think this will be enough juice, I doubt I’ll be doing a full 8 hr shoot lol. As long as the door and power bank is available I’ll be ordering them off your links
@@Becca-qp8kg haha! Yeah I mainly use this setup fishing in the saltwater so if you're not going to be abusing it like me I think it'll be just fine! Good luck with your shoot and thank you for the support!!!!
@@NickeeGee haha no problem, keep up the quality videos ! 👊🏼
@@Becca-qp8kg 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Can you do it with a GoPro hero 11?
You should be able to! They have passthrough doors that you can use.
@@NickeeGee thank you
I don’t have a GoPro, but I do have a AKASO Action Cam that looks like a GoPro. Could I do the same thing with the AKASO? It does have a side port, but it’s for an external mike.
Does the AKASO have a USB input ? If so it should work
@@NickeeGee No! it doesn’t have a USB. Thanks!
Did you leave the battery inside while recording, and also when power it off?
Yes I did! However I tested it without the battery inside and it still recorded flawlessly!
Hi Nick, any tips on how to get the Rode Video Micro to Sync with the GoPro 8?
What does your setup look like? Do you have the GoPro audio adapter hooked up to the Video Micro?
@@NickeeGee yea, I have the GoPro audio adapter connected to the Rode Micro. I have tried all of the input settings and audio is not being captured.
@@crodironman547 Let me see what I can find out for you. I have not heard of this issue before as I use a LAV mic for the most part, but if I can figure out what the issue is I will definitely let you know!
How about hero 10 that overheats?
I think they had a firmware update that fixed a lot of that
so i have heard about the gopro overheating while fishing esp during alot warmer days. I have heard people talking about taking the battery out and running it from external battery. Will this work with this powerbank?
So I fish in Florida and the only time the GoPro has overheated was when I was wearing it on my head instead of my chest. That being said, the GoPro still works without the battery in if it's plugged into external power.
@@NickeeGee awesome!!! Thanks!!!
You are very welcome!!
With a 20000 power bank i dont need a battery. I have the anker 20000 but the issue im having is connection issues at the power bank. I keep it in my back pcket while fishing but if i forget to take it out and sit down with still in my pocket i start running into connection issues. Any way you can help me. I use the stunt man shoulder mount and dont wanna zip tie my powrr bank to it. Especially when i do fish in the rain or snow.
Is there a reason you don't want to zip tie your power bank to it? From the mount stand point it seems like you could either put it on your back straps or even your stomach straps.
@@NickeeGee I have a long enough cord obviously for it to be in my back pocket. I could zip tie it to my belt I guess.
@@BassmasterTL Ah I see. I try to make everything as compact and easy to access as possible. That way I can just grab my mount and not have to worry about anything else.
Nice bro
Thanks homie!!
does the battery slip out?
Nope! I have a special door that allows the cable passthrough so it's fully secure.
Is it works for gopro 12
Yes it should!
How long would a 8000mah power a gopro 8?
It's going to vary depending on recording settings, however the Anker power bank I have in this video has allowed me to fish a full 12 hour day. Now obviously I don't have 12 hours of footage but it lasts long enough for me to not have to worry about my GoPro ever being without battery.
@@NickeeGee ok thx. I have a anker 10050 that I use for my phone and flashlight on backpacking trips. Just trying to decide what size to get my gopro 8 so it's has its own.
@@rugergirl3392 How many batteries do you have ? I would estimate the Anker in my video could charge 3-4 full batteries on the GoPro. What I have is 3 batteries, plus the charger so I would be able to get anywhere from 6-8 batteries worth of juice with the power bank.
@@NickeeGee only 2 so far. Plan to get more eventually so whichever route I decide to go for the day whether it's just batteries and recharge as needed or only use anker to run it for longer run time without needing to change battery.
I have no way of charging the batteries outside of the gopro yet either.
Can you run the GoPro without the battery when using the power bank?
Yes I can! I actually just tested it to be sure and it gives a no battery warning but it still records no problem!
@@NickeeGee so I’ve got the go pro 10 and I love fishing instead of getting the chaginh door thing could I just take the door off and take the battery out?
@@Cruz_Fishing you could, you just leave the GoPro very vulnerable to water at that point
@@NickeeGee very true thanks
Hii man .. can it still record when it's charging?
Yes it can!
@@NickeeGee Thankyou for the replay ...
✌
Just bought a go pro this is awesome but I’m not sure how I can apply this if I wanted to wear my go pro on my head 🥲
Yeah I don't think that'll work man haha. UNLESS you just get a really long cord and stick the power bank in your pocket
@@NickeeGee yeah haha I just did it with the chest mount haha first time using it today it came out awesome was able to catch a baby largemouth while recording 😆
@@franciscosaldivar6251 very nice! I'm actually going to do a video soon about head vs chest mounting for fishing. There's pros and cons to both so I think it'll be helpful for people!
