#Hero8Black #WeatherProofCharging #3BRPowerSports
Got mine today -- absolutely amazingly easy to install. BEYOND fast shipping. Ordered overnight sometime on Wednesday - in my mailbox from California to Nebraska Saturday. no more 30 minute batteries in 4K. Thanks for the great video that led me to it.
Very cool addition to the camera equipment inventory
I bought one of these a year or so ago and it works spot on with my gopro 8 as my gopro is mounted about 20m from my position and use a power bank with it and cover the power bank with an outside tap cover.
The ultimate motovlogging case would be water resistant and support external wired mic in helmet AND power from power bank.....
It is great to see innovation for different use cases though.....
Thanks for sharing.
Please do a tutorial video how to activate multiple gopro with an iPhone. I mean push the record button on your phone to record simultaneously please
What a great find. I think I would be able to use one of these in my future travel vlogs.
It is better if they included a slot for mic adapter under the case and also make cover for mic adapter for rain proofing
I really wish someone would make one that broke out the mic port as well. I have the media mod but the ergonomics of it are terrible
I agree....but honestly wish GoPro would just add the 3.5 jack into the casing, even if it was inside so that it was not waterproof it would enable solutions like this to work. I use the YoloTek Silicone Rainproof Putty in my setup, and no, I'm not sponsored by them....simply offering a solution where the one in this video won't work.
Got one and it does work GREAT. Only wish the cable they used were both charging and data instead of only charging.
I wouldn't use this for weather, is it fine to jsut use this to continuously charge my Hero 8? It's going to arive today, my first GoPro EVER and got it i na bundle, s it came with batteries and a 64 gb. Apparently the battery life is unnaceptably short tho, around an hour/1.5hr at most on a single battery charge. I really hope this is mountable, I plan to pretty much use the gopro with some sort of battery extender on head strap.
Any options for GoPro 9?
awesome video! Questions: 1) Is the USB-C dismountable from the padding / would I be able to put in another cable instead of the one you show on the video? Asking, as I need to mount a USB-C to Dual USB-C in order to both have my Gopro charged externally as well as have it connected to my 3.5 mic adapter. 2) Random question - I know - But what font is the "Air Photography"? I really dig it! Thanks in advance 👍
Were you able to find a solution to your problem? I also want to connect my microphone to the gopro
Just purchased one for my 8 Thank you
I just got mine today but I was wondering what the heck is that extra screw used for?
This case looks really useful for what I need, but I do think it's a massive oversight that they didn't add the possibility to add a lense protector as well, especially since the Hero 8 Black doesn't come with an interchangeable lense to begin with. Guess I'll have to 3D print a solution for that to attach to this case because it seems like it's the only proper weatherproof charging mod out there.
Gutted struggling to get one in the UK.
a sleeve over the Ulanzi g8-7 works quite well, less stress . Lucky me I did a timelapse and as i taken away the camera the rain came. moisture is not going to damage it but getting it totally wet will.
Sounds like you're using the Ulanzi g8-7 + Ulanzi g8-3. I only wish they made a sleeve that went over the media mod with only the 3.5 open!
Thanks, I've been looking for something like this. I'm so tired of changing batteries, or finding out they have died while on my mountain bike rides. I try to be a minimalist too. I don't want to carry more than I need while I ride. Mind you, I've hauled my DSLR gear on a few of my rides and it was more inconvenient than I wanted. Granted, I did have some nice shots, but if I am out on a trail for more than 2 hours and I still have to get back to my truck? Less is more in this case. I'd love to get a drone, but thinking of everything I have to carry when I ride, I've had second thoughts...
Anyway, sorry for the long post... Hope are safe and well.
Very well done video! Thanks! Do you know a way to have an external power source AND an external mic with water resistance on the hero 8 black?
I ask myself why is a link to the Hero 7.6.5. to this product.
I could've done with this about a year ago for my Hero7... but I'm just about to upgrade to the 10, when on sale (Black Friday/Boxing Day Sales).. and I think this will be redundant as GoPro now has its own usb weather-proof pass through door... which I will be getting once I get the 10.
Can I run an external microphone with this setup?
Is there one for the Hero 9?
Do you think that is strong enough to just have it out there in heavy snow? I really want to take time lapse at yurt
Great review. What power bank is that and does it allow passthrough charging?
Glyn
Thanks for the great review! Are there any lens filters compatibly with this case?
Thanks for the great video and info. Any recommendations for a waterproof power bank for the gopro8?
I know there are some weatherproof ones available on Amazon but there aren’t really any back to be completely submerged in water. Once the rubber flap is open to allow you to plug it in it’s susceptible to moisture
Will this work for the GoPro 9?
Thanks for reviewing this product! I have a client that wants to capture a time lapse of a 3-4 month long construction process, using 2-3 GoPro cameras to record the construction. Do you know if a GoPro H8 or H9 can safely be powered via an AC powered USB charger for an extended period of time (like a week long period)?
Yes I have done long-term time lapses before. I’ve never done one quite that long. Something you may want to look into is Gopro labs. It’s firmware you can load onto your GoPro which adds many new features one of them is long term time lapse feature. The camera will power on take a frame and then power off and you could theoretically do this and definitely.
Thank you very very very much!!!!! Good work!!!!!!!!!!
Amazes me for a big company like GoPro how poor their designs are, ive had a few GoPros and they all suffer really bad with trying to connect external source like power or mics, and on top of that the battery doesnt last that long,
About the only good thing about GoPros is the software, i really wish they would get the hardware sorted so we didnt have to use these after market devices
Is gopro 7 black suitable?
Very nice case love the setup
The only part that I wonder about still though is how well would your external power source hold up to the rain? The battery you're using looks nice, but still is an unsealed USB connection right?
I'm not sure if you've gotten an answer to this elsewhere or maybe figured it out on your own by this point. I use a ziploc bag or wrap mine up loosely in plastic bags and it works pretty well. I'm sure you could also build a small box or get a container of some sort. Of course this also depends on the application as to what works best in your case. Hope this helps! 👍
I bought a cheep pelican case thing from HarborFreight. It was like 20 bucks and I just cut a small hole for the cable to go through

Edit: I use my GoPros and power banks for outdoor thunderstorm Timelapses
Do you have access to the hdmi on the 7 black?
do you think they will make one for the hero 9
I haven’t heard yet, but I assume there will be one coming
Why don’t they have something like this for the audio adapter?
Running a power bank is the hypersmooth 2.0 stabilization enabled? Since I know the older batteries won’t allow it to be.
PROJECT ANUBIS no
Thanks for the video! But I still have a few questions, does the case hold up if you fall into the water? or have to run through a waterfall? I don't want to dive with it, but accidentally fall into a river? Wouldn't it be the first time that happened ... If so, that would be a very intersant product for me.
Thx
I’ve never tested that theory, I’m assuming if it was a quick dunk it would be OK there is a fairly tight seal on it
@@AirPhotography
Oh, okay thank you very much!
super cool setup
Great video been waiting for something like this. Is this water resistant? Like the one video you did with the hero7 before. Wanting to use this on my boat in the rain. Thanks
It cannot be submerged but in rain it works well
@@AirPhotography ok thanks for the response
Very cool video bud . Would the 2nd one work on a hero 7 silver
I’m not sure as I don’t have a silver to test with. But if you email 3BR sports I’m sure they’ll be able to answer you promptly
Does this negate wind noise?
Are you aware if this product is available for the GoPro max?
I’m not sure. Check their website to see if they do have a version for it.
@@AirPhotography okay thanks 🙏
Love your videos
Thank you 🙏
@Air Photography How do we get it to use the constant power if the battery is inserted?
External power source...what size?
I will need about 6 to 8 hours of continuous battery power.
I plan on using the 20 minute "loop" function to save on card space.
This will be for my kayak fishing adventures. I will use the app to save the segments I catch fish.
What size external battery should I get?
I will be most likely shooting in 1080/60 mode.
(Hero 8 black)
Thanks
Personally I would be using either a 20,000 mA or the 26,000. The 20,000 would obviously be smaller and easier to carry around. Both ravpower And Anker Make a nice 20,000 that’s not too bulky
Excellent review! I had no idea these were available for GoPro cameras 👍
I record everything in 4K 100Mbps quality and I find the charging cannot keep up to the how much the camera uses. Eventually after about 40minutes, my internal battery is still dead and the camera is useless.
Great review!!! But why I can’t charge my GoPro hero 8 while its recording? And its charge again when I stop recording? Please help me.
That’s just how it’s built. It says on the site that it will not charge the battery while recording. Probably because it is using all the power to function the go pro. Most people take the batter out while recording with it plugged in. This way it won’t overheat.
I can see a lot of places that would be handy. Thanks. 👍🏻
What I've found, wondering if you did too, is when I'm running with this plugged in to power, my GPS stream is empty - the video file says it's there, but there is ZERO data.
If I record on battery I get USABLE gps data embedded into the video
Did you ever figured this out??
Hi sir i have question im filing surf fishing in the beach is the frame splash prof because i always change battery so need one that splash proff thank you
A 9” cable? I bought it thinking for sure the cable was going to be much longer so I could route the cable into a power bank in my pocket. Nope. Crazy.
You can’t plug a microphone in for motovloging.
There is no point to this case if doesn't allow for external audio.
It'd be nice if they had a USBc extention model so a mic adaptor could be applied
Really helpful
Thanks for sharing! Sub’d
Thank you and welcome aboard
What kind of plant is that?
I tried charging my gopro 8 black while recording and it doesn't charge any ideas?
It does not charge while recording. It says on the go pro site. It’s probably using all the power to record so it cannot charge at the same time.
it is a niche product but does seem well built
Have you had an issue with your GoPro shutting down when recording in high temps?
Yes that is notorious for GoPro’s across-the-board all models And other similar action cameras as well. When recording in 4K they can get very hot and will sometime shut down to Prevent damage, it can be very annoying
The same weather proofing can be achieved with a £13 door with a charging hole and a rubber grommet. Not waterproof but weather proof enough.
The links don’t work for hero 8.
does it fit the original battery cover?thanks!
@H. K. yeah but i wonder will it work with the original cover so I can still use it for swimming etc. and just use the cage as normal.
@@Ziontastic This product isn't for you then. This is to give you ability to power and charge the camera while in use, hence the battery cover removed and replaced with the extension cord to plug to a power bank.
RJ Umlas yeah but it would be nice to have a cage with this kind of additional specs and thinking of changing my gopro media mod. If it fits the battery cover inside then i will order thats why im asking.
When you connet tu power bank and go pro is on, its can stanby n recoding continuesly for 5 hours? Please help me
In theory yes it can. Sometimes you were limited by the size of your memory card and sometimes overheating can be an issue if recording 4K constantly
@@AirPhotography is there no inbetwene, like 1440p/2k, or is it possible? rather than runing 4k c ontinuously, I could run 1080 p for a while, or 1440p? I have a 512 gb sd card
But no external audio 😔
Soon I’ll be posting a video on my channel addressing same problem with a creative solution for it.
My solution is basically pretty similar but way cheaper than this.
UPDATE:- The Video is live on my channel.
Let’s see it man! I have a go pro 9 so no cases like this exist and I record on a kayak so I’d like it to be waterproof
@@mikebellplaysgames Yeah, not recommended when waterproofing is required.
Thank bạn
Too expensive for something that probably over protects.
To repeat,There is no point to this case if doesn't allow for external audio.
It’s a niche product for very specific situations. Quite often there is not a need for Audio recorded directly on the unit. There are there options for those who do need are you using a separate recorder.
@@AirPhotography I need that capability for motorcycle vlogging.
“Unloosen “ @4:40. Haha
seems like too much work for just a simple thing.
seriously. replacing a simple door with an entire housing? not the most elegant solution.
So the purpose of that $100 kit is to seal a USB charging cable connection to Hero 8? There is plenty of simple hacks how to achieve it for under $5
A standard USB-C cable can be hacked to the GoPro HERO8 by sealing with RTV or silicone snot. However, it sticks to the camera and I personally don't want to wreck my $400 GoPro. And then there is the issue of supporting the cable. Without some kind of retainer, the cable will whip and vibrate in the wind and tear the USB-C socket out of the camera. At US$55.. (NOT $100) vs. $5.00 you get what you pay for.
Finally a solution to film my kayak fishing trips!!!
@@3BRPOWERSPORTS YoloTek Silicone Rain Putty works great and doesn't stick to the camera. I've always been able to pull it off without any marks at all. I just wish it were cheaper.
NOW available for Hero 9 according to their link in the description of this video.
Yes indeed. one just arrive for the hero 9 so I can make a video about it next week 👍
LOL, it's ironic that people will buy these and not even think twice about protecting the power source.
lol good point
Built in fingers would have been better, those fingers on the GoPro don't inspire confidence.
Save my pennies, batteries suck on a harley.
The main purpose of me getting Hero 8 that it did not had a case anymore. 😂
