Action Camera

<< < (2/2)

Mrtambourineman:
Took the camera to Australia.  Was very disappointed with the battery life initially.  Tried to charge it in the car with no luck and had issues with it even at home base.  Tried to buy a new battery, but they battery appears to be rare.  Was hoping it was the same as the go pro's.  Apparently not.  Then I discovered my problem - the damn camera turns on when you plug it in and starts recording - hence no battery power and hours of useless video.  If I pulled the memory card it would charge fine.  Got lots of video of the kids in the pool.  I managed to sort it all out for the Great Barrier Reef trip.  Got lots of video - much of it crappy quality due to my pathetic videographer skills. 

Video quality on playback was pretty good.  I even figured out how to play it back on my tablet eventually during the trip which was cool.
