- Опубліковано 28 кві 2018
- In this video we are taking a closer look at the X~PWR-H5 a weatherproof solution for external power on your GoPro Hero 5 Black or GoPro Hero 6 Black. This is a very specific product for very specific circumstances and not for everyone. This product allows you to attach your GoPro to an external power source and keep it charged without having to worry about dust and moisture getting into the charging ports. This setup is perfect for those who like to create extended time-lapses or overnight night-lapses. You don't have to worry about heavy dew or rain overnight. This is also a great solution for moto vloggers who keep their GoPro's constantly connected to power banks. This product is also compatible with the new Hero 7 Black.

I wish these aftermarket companies would make this kit with both the power and HDMI out cable connections as I use my GoPro on my boat and feed the HDMI to my Lowrance Video screen so I can monitor what I am filming. It is also great to watch behind me when in heavy boat traffic and to keep an eye out for others in the boat behind me when running.
You just cost me money again, this is something I really needed a few times. Thanks!
I'm glad I found this video. I'm wanting to use my GoPro 7 on a cross country motorcycle ride this spring. I wasn't sure how to make the setup weather proof. Thank you!
Yes indeed set up like this is perfect for that situation
Awesome -- thanks for publishing this. I bought the unit, installed it according to your instructions. Everything fits well, just waiting to try it out on the road.
Perfect let me know what you think
Think i just found my best option for an extended power source for my new hero7 during my harescramble dirt bike races. Finally upgraded from a hero3
Really informative. Like the intro too... thanks!
from your nick I am guessing Australian. Did you find one of these on Amazon Australia.
@@ausbare140 No... but thanks for asking. I haven't got around to buying it yet. I started my channel and bought the gopro and a graphics card -- but then life got in the way! Hoping to get back to it soon... I have a few videos I want to do and I want to class up my intros and thumbs too!
Thanks buddy. I need that for when I’m out on the boat doing fishing videos with my GoPro Hero 6
I used the hero 4 case on my alaska trip. Works great and awesome for motovlogging, glad we have a solution for the hero 5 now
Wanted to do overnight and this solves the dew/moisture potential problem Another great demo
Thank you for great tip. I bought camera for time lapses and only battery is real pain especially in cold weather. This is exactly what i needed.
Wondering why the plastic nut holding the clamp in place was backwards after the camera was dried off...
great spot , also why was he holding it on an angle like that nobody would mount a gopro at that angle
Looks like a secure method of powering your gopro. just using the standard cable could easily bend or pull out of the socket if you are moving about.
Great video! Very informative and you just helped me solve my Hero 7 predicament with waterproofing and extended battery life! Thumbs Up!
Hi, do you have the silver edition? Can you record whilst powering from power bank? Thanks
thank you for the demo video. you rock!
Beautiful, clean, short opening. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thx sir, this product is very practical & well designed for the purpose. I'm glad there are third party manufacturers who still produces good & well made solutions for GoPro cameras, this is great until they can find other advances like wireless charging with larger capacity batteries.
Wireless charging it would be a dream come true. I am sure we will see it one day
Great video help, I purchased a hero 5 black store display even though it's an older model but the price point was in my alley. I needed to get this on my HD bike and didn't realize the ports were going to be a problem. Thanks for coming up with a solution.
As always! Anything I’m interested in purchasing, you do a review for! Thanks!
Not available in the UK so I've found, can be purchased from the US if you don't mind paying import duty and ridiculous postal charges.
Great video, well presented. I have been looking for a power solution thanks
At some stage during the drying process, before you "disassembled" it you turned the plastic nut upside down. A little weird, did you disassemble and check it off camera first or what?
sus 🤔
WOW! Great find. Going to order this. Great review.
Very handy indeed… I’ll be making good use of it this summer
I love this except I wish they made one with an external mic adapter
I like your show.... basic right to the point... thanks
fantastic solution. i am going ro buy right now
Pretty good engineering on there and plus it holds up to the water test thumbs up
Needed smth like this. Ty !!
Once again a thorough and informative video. I realise nearly 4 years have passed since you uploaded this video but here goes. I have used my gopro 7 with a Ulanzi cover so I can use the the microphone input box and in very dusty conditions at times. You'd have to get and awful amount of dust to damage the gopro. But I'm between a rock and a hard place because when it rains I have to stop to put the gopro cover back on which means I can't use my helmet rode mic. Running both a microphone as well as external power is possible, but only when not raining. The only way I can run both at the same time is with the Ulanzi because its got the bigger hole which means I can't use that weather proof kit you demoed. Damn.... its back to the drawing board. I will continue researching but if you have any ideas I would be very grateful. Would you recommend a battery bank suitable to drive a gopro 7 please if your busy schedule allows. May the force be with you, thanks.
Worked great for me... thanks!
Don't suppose they have something like this for the external mic as I use mine in the workshop and don't want dust get into the GoPro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I don’t think they do but definitely a good idea
Help full information to know.I plan on buying one.thank you
Thanks for watching
Can a GoPro be powered the USB power outlet in airplane cockpit?
Do you think 3BR will be bringing out a weatherproof power cord for the Hero 8? This could be the difference o purchasing a 7 vs an eight. Thanks
Bought using your affiliate link. Thanks for a thorough, informative review.
Why was the screw nut on backwards when you took it apart after the water test 6:34
love your reviews, very helpful, please keep it up !
Thanks :)
Mo money, Mo money, Mo money 😀. Thanks, I really do need both products. Thanks for the discovery. btw, Great Channel, I like your style. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much
Thanks for the video. Can you also download videos from the GoPro with the power cord?
I'm just in the middle of setting my GoPro6 for a timelapse video outside... which made me think "how would I use this if it was to rain?".. I love to film storms with timelapse, but worried about having the power connected whilst it rain... you have just solved my problem.. now wondering if I can find a power cord that is about 5 metres long.
Didn’t expect there was a cable like this one... Thanks! 💸💸
Yes it is quite a handy cable for sure
Good idea,thanks
I ordered one of these for my GoPro Hero 7, and it arrived the day before a 6 hour cycle ride, which was perfect timing. However, while I was rigging up my GoPro onto my bike, with my external power bank in a top tube bag, I realised that the 9" cable that I ordered was not long enough. Fortunately I found a USB extension cable and thought I had solved the problem but, alas, my GoPro ran out of power after 2.5 hours, which is the limit of its own internal battery. I have since determined that the extension cable was the problem, after running two experiments at home, one with the extension cable and one without the extension cable. I presume that the extension cable needs to be a type C cable as well?
Great video and awesome review
Than you
Are you able to attach an external mic with this set up?
Please put background music in your video like what you did last year. I love it.
Great video for a solution!! Will this work with the GoPro Hero7 Black? Also, I'd like to know what the charging parameter is voltage and current such as 5V/2A for the cable as well. I'm currently looking at the Anker power banks. Thanks again for a great video!! 👍😊
How do you record and charge. My Hero 5 wont do both. Once you stop recording it will start charging..
Thank you for being this to light. It's truly appreciated!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Doesn't work on my Gopro 7 silver. The USB-C is on the wrong side so the cable doesn't fit.
Great video. Answers questions that the Amazon product page did not. I hope those are affiliate links. I am about to purchase.
Thank you very much I’m glad you found my video helpful. And yes they are affiliate links
Thanks for your review on this product.
How long can you safely power a GoPro with an external batter or AC/USB power supply? Is there a risk of overheating the GoPro and causing damage?
I don’t think there’s a time limit. If I go pro gets too warm it will just automatically power off. I’ve done 40+ hour time lapses In the past with no issues. Coming up I’m going to be doing a 2 week time lapse of a plant growing. I will be using the go Pro plugged into power
There's a lot of threads about saying that the GoPro 7 WILL NOT work (record) with an external battery.
can i order a spare cable (longer) i use this product and it is awasome .
Great video! A bit off-topic, but is it just me or does he sound like Leonard from The Big Bang Theory
The only problem with this is it blocks port for external mic, thanks for video 👍
Not sure, but I think you CAN'T use the external mic adapter and charge at the same time anyway. So, even if you could plug the external mic adapter at the same time, you would not be able to record the sound from it because as soon as you plug a power cable to it, the adapter refuses to work!
Just saw this video and made a DIY stick glue version to seal the connection.
Just bought and on my hand. Time to guy Gopro 7 Black. ;)
buy*
just get suptig waterproof case. they are waterproof and make 40m waterproof external powerbank. The only thing is you lost mic quality by a closed case but you can dive with it.
I like the first product but still see a problem waterproofing the power end.
Can we press in Clay around the USB port instead?
How do i connect mike adapter using this weatherproof setup?
Do they do this kit but as a microphone phone adapter
Does the power cable transit video as well?? Haven’t bought one yet and I’m looking for a solution to search canals in Florida for lost items from dry land.... could you plug it to a laptop and get. Alive feed?
Do you have a product link?
Is there any similar "set ups" for the microphone adapter (Hero 6) ?
Need this for new 8 black
There is an updated version for the Hero 8. I will be making a video on it in the next week
No way !!!! That is awesome I have been making myown mod and it is a lot of trial and error so far lol what is it called
Does the clamp act as the weatherproof device, or is the cable end itself sufficiently weatherproof without the clamp?
The cable is what has the rubber fitting around at that seals the opening, however it’s the clamp that applies pressure to prevent moisture from getting in. So a combination of both
Yes you will get that much rain depending on what you are doing.
Nice video ❤️
Is there GoPro Hero 7 coming in September? can't wait to see the review's to the 5,6?
I’m not sure. But go pro tends to have a major release every September / October to help boost holiday sales So we should see your hero 7. I am hoping for a shiny new toy 😀
I have a question? When using an external power bank with your GoPro to record for extended period of time , should you leave the battery in or do you take it out. Does it overheat ?
Thanks for your help!
I always just leave mine and I’ve never had any overheating problems. But definitely that could solve problems for those who are having heat issues, definitely give it a try
but what about the overheating?
Are those charging cables quality? They're not just gonna stop working in a month right? For $25 it better be, I just ordered one for doing night time lapse overnight and don't want any moisture on my Go Pro.
They seem to be a nice quality build. However I have not used it long enough to make any judgment on Long Jevity
I can vouch for the quality of the cables. I have been using their kits for over 3 years with no issues, also their customer service is amazing.
Will this work with the GoPro external microphone adapter? You would need another adapter to go from the USB-C on the mic adapter to the standard USB end on this cable. This should allow you to remotely position the GoPro mic adapter and provide power to it. The would keep weight off a MotoVlog helmet setup, with the disadvantage of having two cables running from the helmet to somewhere else (on a jacket, I would assume) where the external battery and microphone adapter would be located.
This would not work with the adapter as it is a specialty cable made by this company. It has a special rubber fitting at the end that seals it in
@@AirPhotography right, I understand about the end of the cable that plugs into the camera. What I'm asking is whether there is any reason I couldn't plug the GoPro microphone adapter into the other end of that cable, using a USB to USB-C adapter? That would allow me to remotely locate the GoPro mic adapter and power source (rechargeable battery bank plugged into the mic adapter).
Hi really enjoy your informative video’s. Now so this is a great product but do you know if there is a waterproof/weatherproof mic socket available as I shoot video’s outside in the UK where it does rain a lot. Thanks
I have had many people ask me that. I don’t think they are for that right now. But there seems to be a demand for it so Maybe I’ll shoot the company and email and see what they suggest
Air Photography Thank you for replying I would have thought this was an obvious product that would be needed but maybe the demand isn’t there!
this vid got you a sub
How long is the USB power cable?
it looks too short to be practical to use in my airplane on a suction cup mount. ???
Did that fit on hero 7 silver ???
What you failed to explain is that the power port on the hero 7 silver is on the opposite side. I just wasted 60$
It works on Go pro Hero 7 black?
Interesting video
What’s this called. Need it desperately. Can someone forward a link?
How can you film when charging the gopro?
Just plug it into power or even a power bank
😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy 👍 nice product good review ✌🏻🤙🏻
Thank you
No info about the power bank?? What type?? Redo?!! But I do like this. JoP
Any power bank will work. You just need to keep it tucked away From moisture in a pocket or bag
Don't know about the power bank, because filming and charging at the same cannot be done with any power bank?!
Yes you can film and charge with a power bank with no issues. I have done a 40 hour timelapse while having the go Pro plugged into a power bank
Thx for the reply. I will check that out
This system is blocking one of the three microphone holes on the camera!
Hi is that any mic setup like this to mount the helmet for vlog shoot with
Audio set-up
With waterproof cage like this
Is it snowproof
What mAh use in you powerbank for eight hour filmed?.
Depends on your conditions, about 8000mah
is there anything similar to the gopro sessions?
Unfortunately not that I am aware of. However if you search on Amazon there is a company that sells a session battery add-on that comes with waterproof housing. Will give you some extra power and still be weatherproof
nice, but damn theres still the issue of getting the sd card out everytime
you can dl through the cable no?
I see that bolt sticking out and my head explodes. Such an easy design fix that would have made it hardly a problem when not using the cord. Hopefully their design engineer will get some coffee in his/her system and fix that for GEN II......Otherwise what a great product!
Good point but we struggled with a way to secure the cable and that's what we came up with. One thing, the thumbnut never needs to be removed. The retainer swings out of the way so the cable can be removed. Let me know what you have in mind for a solution to the threaded stud. donb@3brpowersports.com
Don Blackwell thanks for your response. Great work on being innovative. Btw my comment was based on wanting one but thinking I’d need to buy a spare case so as to not have the bolt sticking out when not in use. When in use its not an issue. Why not simply bed a nut into the section that is mounted to the case, similar to how GoPro does its mount. (But permanently and laterally secure) Then when when the device is not in use no bolt sticking out. Again great product. I will likely purchase one for my long rides.
I looked at reversing the screw and nut but didn't feel that we could get enough thread without making the retainer too thick.
The solution I missed until it was too late was a rivet. We use a rivet to secure the mount base to our USB power port mounting bracket. We can't rework the existing parts since a rivet requires a boss to provide spacing so the rivet doesn't prevent the retainer from turning. Next rev :-)
Thanks again for the observation.
To expensive considering GoPro has made just the replacement door for the 8 and up.
I really hate the way you unplugged the cable after water test.
Cost efficient
glad you were the Guinea Pig If gopro made the bat door removable then we see a better Mouse trap made. nice hope down the road that works for you. I will keep to Ear wax selicon .
to bad theres not one for both inputs
Too bad they dont sell one for the external mic😣
Yes that would Be a very worthwhile idea. Better yet that would be great if GoPro introduced wireless Bluetooth microphone technology with the hero 7. No more adapters…
were are the links
Links to the products are in the description of the video
Air Photography I found them sorry I'm used to the mobile UA-cam setup was watching your video on a laptop they were farther down on the page
word of advice. my laptop is turned all the way up so is my youtube and most of the video i cant hear u
A wire, a plastic piece, a 3M adhesive - $50 on Amazon Canada. WTF!
