Karma grip disable gopro charging

[mauriciow30620]

I just recently purchased a Karma grip; I've been running into this same issue. It would be great if we could choose whether or not to have the Karma grip charge the GoPro camera. I have 3 spare batteries for my camera, and would love to be able toe extend the life of the grip by changing out the camera's battery when it is depleted.

I don't see a reason to not have both power options. It could be accessible by double-pressing the power button.

@graytree76514 could you verify with the team if this would even be possible to change with a firmware update?

Hi @mauriciow30620

We'll have this shared to the team in charge.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Thanks!

@aragon1006 were you able to confirm with the team if this is a possibility, given the existing hardware? I don't mind waiting for the feature. But if it is not possible to implement due to a hardware limitation, I might have to consider returning the product.

Sorry but we do not have updates on this at this time.

Thanks!

Hi,

It *really* is frustrating. Last Saturday I was with Karma Grip + Hero7 black and I should stop filming since the Karma Grip battery was empty. Hero7 was full, as were the two hero7 batteries in my pocket...

🤦🏻‍♂️

Try to remove battery from the camera. It game me at least 2 hours of filming.

But in any case , this is very bad solution from GoPro

@aragon1006: Is there a better way to stay updated with this feature request? It is very important to me.

As long as you have GoPro App you'll be notified if there is new update for your device.
