Extra batteries and chargers

- With the GoPro, you really need a lot of extra power.…That's because the form factor of the camera…is so small, there's just not room for a large battery.…If you are shooting things like 720p,…you may get battery run times of about two hours.…On the other hand, if you are shooting…higher frame sizes and frame rates like 4k,…it can be as low as 45-50 minutes.…And of course, environmental factors like cold weather…can have batteries drained significantly faster.…As you can tell here, it's a good idea…to have a lot of batteries.…

Now, I'm a fan of both the native batteries,…although sometimes they're hard to come by.…If you are using the older style GoPro,…GoPro makes its own official battery charger…that allows you to put two batteries in.…One on each side, and it will charge up.…It's a pretty simple unit,…just uses a standard USB plug,…and you can run that directly into a computer,…or into a wall charger.…This is the official GoPro wall charger,…but really, any USB charger is gonna work for you,…as long as it puts out the required electrical amplitude.…
