Re: Crazy battery drain in hero 6
[ New ]this morning i went for a mtb ride with my fam. shot about an hr worth of vids or more (we were out and about for 2 hrs). had 3% when i got back to my car.
was using full settings too: 4k30 stabilization on, voice (including wakeup) protune, wind only settings etc..
could u possible have a bad battery? i agree the unit eats battery, and right now i only have one. but in terms of draining within 30 mins, i cant relate.
one thing i realized was during charging? mine stops @ 99%. never have i seen it display 100% full.

[ New ]What about Sandisk Extreme Plus? I've made a night lapse, took about 5k pictures yesterday night and seems like my hero6 can't access to it anymore as it is too slow..

Re: Crazy battery drain in hero 6
[ New ]I only use Samsung Pro/Pro+/Pro Select and Lexar 1000X. I've only had my Hero6 for a couple of days and haven't done time/night laps yet so I can't speak to your issue and whether or not the cards I use are more reliable.
I rarely use the camera to view files and I never use the camera to delete so my experience with playback on the Hero4 Silver, Hero5 Black, and now Hero6 is pretty limited.

[ New ]I was thinking to get the Lexar 1000X but read a lot of bad reviews about it on Amazon..
Is the Pro+ considered as a better card then others..?

Re: Crazy battery drain in hero 6
[ New ]I will give a try with videos today and maybe i will return this and get the pro plus. It is working fine with my PC so i guess the camera is not fast enough to handle this..
