Example: /v50 This one can even solar recharge the battery at the same time. A select few USB battery sources include an “always on feature” designed for time-lapse projects. Solutions for Using External Lithium Ion USB BatteriesĪs stated above, most Lithium Ion USB power-banks will shut-off early, even when the camera still needs the power.
With the right photo interval, this configuration could last a year on a single charge. For long captures away from the power grid, the best solution is a small 12V 18+Ah sealed lead acid battery and attached a non-smart (doesn’t shut off) USB regulator. If you want to try a USB powerbank, you must remove the GoPro battery for good results.
For this reason they get you far shorter captures than you would expect. With continuous power supplied, the battery should be removed, and the camera should run for a very long time (only SD card storage limitations.) You might be tempted to use a Lithium Ion USB powerbank, however they typically do not work well (see below for solutions.) They are designed to quickly recharge a smartphone, and when they think power is no longer needed, they shut-off. You might want to set and forget for a multi-week or multi-month time-lapse, for this A/C powering the camera via USB is the best. After the battery is replaced, power on the camera so that the time-lapse can continue. Simply replacing the battery is the easiest solution for long captures. Capture time estimate 0 hours with an interval of 0 minutes.Ĭopy URL to Clipboard Extending Time-lapse Duration Maximum estimated frames: 0 for 0 seconds of playback at 30fps. Simply replace the battery, power on the camera, the time-lapse will automatically continue. A fully charged HERO8 can take around 400 photos, which you can spread over several hours or several days for long form time-lapse.Īs the camera is off between frames, it is also possible to periodically change the battery for extremely long time-laspes without interrupting the time-lapse in progress. The Labs’ firmware allows for much longer time-lapses, on the internal battery alone, by powering off the camera between photos (sorry no video mode time-lapse.) It also supports intervals beyond 60 seconds. Very Long Time-lapses with Larger Intervals GoPro Labs View on GitHub Very Long Time-lapses with Larger Intervals
