    I bought one of these a year or so ago and it works spot on with my gopro 8 as my gopro is mounted about 20m from my position and use a power bank with it and cover the power bank with an outside tap cover.

    The ultimate motovlogging case would be water resistant and support external wired mic in helmet AND power from power bank.....

    • @KayakFishingAddict
      @KayakFishingAddict 4 роки тому +2

      I agree....but honestly wish GoPro would just add the 3.5 jack into the casing, even if it was inside so that it was not waterproof it would enable solutions like this to work. I use the YoloTek Silicone Rainproof Putty in my setup, and no, I'm not sponsored by them....simply offering a solution where the one in this video won't work.

    a sleeve over the Ulanzi g8-7 works quite well, less stress . Lucky me I did a timelapse and as i taken away the camera the rain came. moisture is not going to damage it but getting it totally wet will.

    • @KayakFishingAddict
      @KayakFishingAddict 4 роки тому

  • @DjSleeb

    This case looks really useful for what I need, but I do think it's a massive oversight that they didn't add the possibility to add a lense protector as well, especially since the Hero 8 Black doesn't come with an interchangeable lense to begin with. Guess I'll have to 3D print a solution for that to attach to this case because it seems like it's the only proper weatherproof charging mod out there.

  • @lplacido61
    @lplacido61 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks, I've been looking for something like this. I'm so tired of changing batteries, or finding out they have died while on my mountain bike rides. I try to be a minimalist too. I don't want to carry more than I need while I ride. Mind you, I've hauled my DSLR gear on a few of my rides and it was more inconvenient than I wanted. Granted, I did have some nice shots, but if I am out on a trail for more than 2 hours and I still have to get back to my truck? Less is more in this case. I'd love to get a drone, but thinking of everything I have to carry when I ride, I've had second thoughts...
    Anyway, sorry for the long post... Hope are safe and well.

    I wouldn't use this for weather, is it fine to jsut use this to continuously charge my Hero 8? It's going to arive today, my first GoPro EVER and got it i na bundle, s it came with batteries and a 64 gb. Apparently the battery life is unnaceptably short tho, around an hour/1.5hr at most on a single battery charge. I really hope this is mountable, I plan to pretty much use the gopro with some sort of battery extender on head strap.

Asking, as I need to mount a USB-C to Dual USB-C in order to both have my Gopro charged externally as well as have it connected to my 3.5 mic adapter. 2) Random question - I know - But what font is the "Air Photography"? I really dig it! Thanks in advance 👍

      I'm not sure if you've gotten an answer to this elsewhere or maybe figured it out on your own by this point. I use a ziploc bag or wrap mine up loosely in plastic bags and it works pretty well. I'm sure you could also build a small box or get a container of some sort. Of course this also depends on the application as to what works best in your case. Hope this helps! 👍

    Thanks for reviewing this product! I have a client that wants to capture a time lapse of a 3-4 month long construction process, using 2-3 GoPro cameras to record the construction. Do you know if a GoPro H8 or H9 can safely be powered via an AC powered USB charger for an extended period of time (like a week long period)?

    • @AirPhotography
      @AirPhotography  3 роки тому +2

      Yes I have done long-term time lapses before. I’ve never done one quite that long. Something you may want to look into is Gopro labs. It’s firmware you can load onto your GoPro which adds many new features one of them is long term time lapse feature. The camera will power on take a frame and then power off and you could theoretically do this and definitely.

      That’s just how it’s built. It says on the site that it will not charge the battery while recording. Probably because it is using all the power to function the go pro. Most people take the batter out while recording with it plugged in. This way it won’t overheat.

      @3BRPOWERSPORTS 4 роки тому +2

      A standard USB-C cable can be hacked to the GoPro HERO8 by sealing with RTV or silicone snot. However, it sticks to the camera and I personally don't want to wreck my $400 GoPro. And then there is the issue of supporting the cable. Without some kind of retainer, the cable will whip and vibrate in the wind and tear the USB-C socket out of the camera. At US$55.. (NOT $100) vs. $5.00 you get what you pay for.
