Hi

Is anybody aware of a GoPro equivalent that will run off a battery for more than 8 hours?
Or failing that, if it's possible to mod a GoPro (hopefully without damaging it) to run off a larger capacity battery?

Reason I ask is we have some arseholes who started doing some work on the house, they've already smashed the concrete around my bike and I fear the bike itself is next.
So I need something to take these dickheads to court with if my transport ends up smashed.

Cheers BCF

I have a couple of Ltl Acorn 6310 photo-messaging and video-recording camera traps of the kind you'll see in wildlife documentaries. One guards my garage while the other has forays out into the fields and woods.

Serious question, why does it need to battery powered if it's at your house?

For another 5 months I am living with an old person who feels the need to turn electrical devices such as computers and laptops off at night.

Interesting, I had completely forgotten those things existed.
I Reckon its my best shot of any recompense if the bike gets fucked up (even more so than it normally is)

Cheers all. Thumbs Up

I used my Drift HD with a external battery fine.
