Using my gopro Hero3 Silver with a dummy battery to external power
[ New ]Hi,
I wan't to use my gopro as an underwater surveillance camra for my hobby.
Thats why i bought a dummy battery (Protastic, battery Cable for GoproHero Output 3.7v-4.4v Input 5v DC) that can bepowerd with a usb cable. I'm using a 12v 21ah. When i power on my go pro it says my battery is full. So thats working oke i gues.
But when i started filming i notice that after 2 hours my gopro freezed.
Now i'm wondering, is it de continuous power supply or is it the poor SD card that i'm using.
I'm using a 32gb (4) it's a black card, not a White/Red one or gold.
Hope you guys could help me.
kind regards,
Bas

[ New ]Hi @basr16
While we do not have enough information regarding the Protastic battery as it is a third party accessory, most freezing issues relates to the use of non-recommended SD cards.
