Re: A bream
How long does the battery last, I just read this "This cameras storage can be expanded up to 32GBs and the internal microSD card captures up to 8 hours of footage in full 1080p resolution and is easily swapped for a fresh card to keep filming the action" wouldn't you need a spare battery for 8hrs. Nice clear video.

Re: A bream
They reckon the battery is good for 3.5 hours but I doubt that. And you can't change the battery as its in built. But I liked the idea of the power/record switch on top so I can just record what I want without editing 2 or so hours of footage.Jenko wrote:How long does the battery last, I just read this "This cameras storage can be expanded up to 32GBs and the internal microSD card captures up to 8 hours of footage in full 1080p resolution and is easily swapped for a fresh card to keep filming the action" wouldn't you need a spare battery for 8hrs.

It's just a local creek down south Viper. Nothing special about it until a brown floaty goes past

Re: A bream
Nice first up video Mark. The picture quality looks good and its nice to hear the birds and kids in the background.
What video setting were you recording at, 1080P or 720P? I tried 1080P first but found the 125 degree angle a bit tight for POV filming. I've since been using 720P to get the full 170 degree view, which I find better to capture what's happening.

I left it at 720. I was a tight arse and pinched the 16gb card from my old phone so anything that saves a bit of space helps.shane wrote:Nice first up video Mark. The picture quality looks good and its nice to hear the birds and kids in the background.
