GoPro Battery Life

I know this should probably be posted in another forum but I think the divers on this board use gopros more than anybody else.

What is the average On time for your gopro battery? Mine only seems to last between 1-2 hours and that's not with it filming the whole time. Just being turned on.

Feedback?

Thanks guys,

I know fuzz will have more precise info, but here's how I run mine to maximize battery life and sd card space.

I turn it on and start filming right before I dive and record each dive. When I get back to the surface I stop recording, and I have it set to turn itself off after about 90 seconds (don't ask me how I have it set, it just does it!  ). When I hear it turn itself off, I start breathing up...turn it back on and repeat.

By doing that, I have never had the battery run out on me, the SD card always fills up first....course I am just using an 8gb SD card.

I get about 1.5 hours of footage on the 8gb SD card....

It takes a second to turn it off and back on...maybe that would help you save battery life?

If you want, come over for a beer and see what settings I have mine on, or call me and I can tell you what I see on the screen...course getting together for a beer sounds better. 

Hope that helps buddy!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

My 960 only runs me about 1.5-2 hours.  Messed up on Sunday and left it running with a view of my crotch for 45 mins    Then when it came time to film Traceys ling, it died on me and had to switch to my camera for the footage 

Thanks for the feedback guys I'll do a little experimenting with the settings and see if I can extend my battery time.
