DIY: External microphone & battery for the GoPro camera Video Clips. Duration : 2.27 Mins.


I came up with this idea after getting only 25 minute recording times using 2 AAA rechargeable batteries. It now uses 4 AA rechargeable batteries. I have tested this setup for at least 85 minutes now and will post an update when the battery runs out. Also, the camera picks up and records audio decently now. It crackles sometimes, but I plan to add in a small microphone windscreen. Hope someone learns something from my very first DIY video. Update: The battery run time was tested to last 7.5 hours. Another thing is that the batteries weigh down the helmet considerably and messes up my neck.
