Also many many many GoPro cameras will simply REFUSE to use the external power (It will ONLY use the internal battery, and the externally connected power will NOT even charge the internal battery while the camera is recording)
Thanks for making this video. I have been using my go-pro for a while now by plugging it into a USB port I installed in my kayak that runs from my fish finder battery. It powers by finder and camera all day, but I've hated knowing my camera was exposed to the elements and could potentially be ruined should i get caught in rain or happen flip my kayak. Thanks to this video I learned of the 3BR case and have one on the way to me now.
Thanks for the great tips 👍🏼 I currently use a RAM Tough Claw . It’s a clamp on mount I share between my motorcycle handlebars and the rim of my kayak cockpit since I can’t kayak & ride at the same time. Holy cr*p , the no battery tip is golden !!
@@kristinefischer2289 Same here. I have been running them (on ext. battery) since October last year up until my last kayak trip on 2/4/20 and had not had any issues thus far. I probably won't get the opportunity to test them this summer on my yak though.
Also imany many GoPro cameras will simply REFUSE to use the external power (It will ONLY use the internal battery, and the externally connected power will NOT even charge the internal battery while the camera is recording)
Great video Christine . I usually take 6 GoPro batteries with me when I’m out making fishing videos and it never fails , battery dies at the most inopportune times. Will have to check out the Dakota Lithium and that 3BR external power kit. Thanks for the info.
Hey, thanks for presenting this info in such an organized and coherent form. A real change from some of the you tube crud out there. Good job and now I’m a subscriber.
“It made filming” AND FISHING “a nightmare” lol. As a new guy to filming while kayaking, it has been a bit of a buzz kill lol. Each time out though I do learn something new. Videos like this are great, now I need to go find that same battery box so I can put the battery swap time waste and stress behind me lol. Technically I could plug a double usb lighter plug in that box too and get more usb connections to power my camera lights for longer. Sold! I use the Insta360 RS camera and now you have me curious If mine will power on with out the battery attached lol.
Subscribed! Great info! I love getting new ideas on how to film in a kayak. How do you stay waterproof with the Dakota battery though? It seems like water could splash up and hit the USB connection?
Thanks very much, Kristen, I love your detail and the information provided. Would you mind please clarifying where to buy the 47-inch tough pole? Thanks
I've been looking for a better mounting location than my blackpack on the rear camera. Thanks for showing the RAM Tough Track for the H-rail. Just found it on their website. Hope the Hobie series can still make its way out to CA later this year.
Ive found the hero 8 has a very capable mic. Im just trying to find a way to minimize wind noise, the built in wind reduction setting doesnt really seem to do much. Great vid.
Hi Kristine! Thank you for providing tips on all day filming with your GoPro Hero 8. Do you use 256gb memory cards in each camera? Thank you in advance for your response. Tight lines and hopefully one day I will see you and AJ at a future event.
I believe it’s just for the 8. I’ll put links to their site in the description- for my fours, I used a purple panda lapel on amazon. With the 8, I haven’t ever had to use a mic
With the Gopro housing is there an ability to hook up external mics as well and power? Or is one or the other! Like the tip on the battery I have to try that
When you are using only one of the UBS ports in the battery box, say for your camera, is the other port at risk to the elements as it no longer is covered by the protective cap. Thanks
go to a pharmacy..... they have silicone ear plugs that look like caugh drops....you can mold them to cover the gap without leaving any residue in your electronics...worked fine for me on Saturday
The battery compartment was open in the video... for show? I’m assuming that in order for it to be water tight there is a cover to close it up right? That no battery tip was great. I never would’ve thought that would’ve made that much difference. Tight lines and stay safe out there!!
Great video. I've been playing with my GoPro 6 and use the same Ram Mount. What I've found is that a lot of the boat noise, clunking, pedaling etc seems to get transferred through the mount to the camera. I don't even hear those noises happening so they aren't loud but are very noticeable on the videos. Do you have any issues with this? By the way, we sell those Dakota Lithium Power Boxes at Outdoor Emporium in Seattle.
Great video. Also it is good that you took out the internal battery while your GoPro is powered by external power, or else many many many GoPro cameras will simply REFUSE to use the external power (It will ONLY use the internal battery, and the externally connected power will NOT even charge the internal battery while the camera is recording)
So you would need the external case to keep the external mics or any other external from not getting wet? I am just trying to figure out what the external case is for because I thought the GoPro was waterproof by itself. I just need some clarification is all even though it was addressed in the video. Thanks.
Hi Kristine. Thanks for the tips. I run a similar setup on the Hero7’s but I run them off of a single Nocqua 10ah battery. What is your audio recording solution out on the water? I currently use a Tascam DR10L and I’m trying to go to the Rode Wireless Go, but running into compatibility issues with the GoPro wifi.
Kristine Fischer Wow, that’s great. So I imagine the 8 is in front of you and facing you....and you use that audio. Or are you saying that the 8 is mounted behind you on that long Ram Mount and you’re using the audio from it?
Great tip w the battery out! No backup if your power goes out of course, but you can't have everything. LOL. NOTE, we had some carbon fibre rigs for our cameras at one time, they DO GET BRITTLE after a while, so be warned. Depending on the cf makeup, your gopro may end up in the drink.. so be careful. We've since gone to soley aluminium, and not carbon fibre.
Awesome info! Question....how often do you start and stop recording?? Is it better to get 100 small clips or just keep recording to get several really large clips?? I’m just wondering for editing purposes. Thx and love your channel👍👍
How many amp hours will the hero 8 use up on a full 7 hour day of fishing? Thinking about running off of my 100ah lipo4 in my min kota trolling motor power station via 12dc outlet.
This video is awesome, quick question for anyone, has anybody tried using a yakpower system to power their gopros? It would be nice if I could plug my gopro wire directly into an outlet in my hull that connects to my 24ah accessory battery.
iamjabr Try using the 5 minute loop function on the go pro. I film muskie fishing quite a bit and it works perfect for that. Saves the video in 1 minute intervals as well which is nice for editing.
That overheating tip with no battery was AMAZING! thanks!
Also many many many GoPro cameras will simply REFUSE to use the external power (It will ONLY use the internal battery, and the externally connected power will NOT even charge the internal battery while the camera is recording)
Thank you for this post. I believe you are the FIRST to offer this very relevant information!
I’ve learned from some of the best and picked up my own tricks from there :) thanks for watching!
I remember one time when GoPro helped win me a trip to Ocho Rios, Jaimaca. Great trip with some awesome coworkers! Great vid Kristine!
Great vid. thanks. I will be buying a few housings.
hey kristine thanks for sharing it's very helpful
Great tips! Just started with my GoPro and feel like I advanced months of trial and error!
Amazing information, as always Love my GoPro. That battery looks amazing
Thanks for the great video

If you flip your kayak, this case will not save your camera.
Thanks for the great tips 👍🏼

Dropping some gold nuggets in this one. Great vid KF. Thanks for the tips
You bet!!
I got the same GoPro and the same case and I was overheating i didn't think taking the battery out of it thank you for the idea you're the best🤘🎣🤘🎣🤘🎣🤘
Great setup! Here's to hoping the Hero 8 does better than the Hero 7 in the August heat and humidity. Thanks for sharing!
My 8s have been good SO far!

Thanks for the tip on keeping the gopro from overheating. I live in Southern Nevada and that is a big problem out here for the gopros.

Ha , I do the same 👍🏼
Thanks for your tips.
I have questions about your gopro setting.
Do you make a video with 4k/60fps??
How do you set your gopro??
Great tips ! I had a lot of questions until now. Thanks for the info
Hey, thanks for presenting this info in such an organized and coherent form. A real change from some of the you tube crud out there. Good job and now I’m a subscriber.
Didn’t know about that 3BR case. (Making order now). Thanks!
They are slick!
Do you have a video out that explains all your GoPro settings? And also what video editor that you use? Thanks. Big Fan!
Thank you for all your help
Very good info. Thanks Kristine.
Ol’ lady angler(in the making) from NC
Thanks for the tips. As usual, an informative (if not a LOL) video. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Thanks CP
Fantastic video Kristine!! I’ve been fighting go pro batteries all year lol this will help me a bunch 😊👌👌
Thank you for sharing. I’m struggling with audio quality. Any tips?
Awesome tip Kristine! I was using the Ulanzi case because I’m also using an external mic so it’s not water proof but this is great!
👊🏻👊🏻
You should do a video on what camera settings you mess with better video quality.
“It made filming” AND FISHING “a nightmare” lol. As a new guy to filming while kayaking, it has been a bit of a buzz kill lol. Each time out though I do learn something new.

Awesome video as always. Glad to see that you are doing well 👊👊
Thanks jimmy!
Awesome setup! I just ordered the 3BR external case.
Kristine- Very helpful video. I am curious about the size of the SD card that you use when you are planning on filming all day. Thanks
Thanks very much, Kristen, I love your detail and the information provided. Would you mind please clarifying where to buy the 47-inch tough pole? Thanks
I got to give it to you are a beast with a spinning rod Hell of Angler keep it going 💯💪🏿
Have you ever flipped your kayak with the 3br powersports mod? Did your camera survive?
Good tips. Thanks
great video and I have been wanting to get that power supply for a long time so I can quit having to change batteries!
Great video great tips.
Thank you for the advice

I’ve used the foam sponge cover for the hero 8 from Amazon , it helps.
Awesome thanks for the info!
Great video and channel! Thanks for the GoPro tips! I should try them out for my TH-cam channel! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the info 👌👌👌👌👌
Hi Kristine! Thank you for providing tips on all day filming with your GoPro Hero 8. Do you use 256gb memory cards in each camera? Thank you in advance for your response. Tight lines and hopefully one day I will see you and AJ at a future event.
Yes I do! I was using 128, but those only got me 5 hours! I wanted to remove ANY maintenance on the water
Kristen, Does that case work on the older models# 5 hero. What about the mic? Stay safe from Pennsylvania.
God bless
I believe it’s just for the 8. I’ll put links to their site in the description- for my fours, I used a purple panda lapel on amazon. With the 8, I haven’t ever had to use a mic
Can you send me the links for the spline mount and hobie h rail mount?? Thanks!! Love the channel
You bet! I will try and get them added tomorrow eve!
Kristine Fischer great. Thank you!
Looks like a RAM Tough Track for rails and tubes. Can find different lengths on the RAM website.
Here are the mounts in case anyone else is searching www.rammount.com/part/RAP-TRACK-B12HU
👍Nice tips! I wonder if that gopro case helps cool down the gopros also because it's aluminum instead of the plastic ones that hold in the heat?
You’re probably spot on withbthat !
What about the camera operation? Looping?
With the Gopro housing is there an ability to hook up external mics as well and power? Or is one or the other! Like the tip on the battery I have to try that
When you are using only one of the UBS ports in the battery box, say for your camera, is the other port at risk to the elements as it no longer is covered by the protective cap. Thanks
What kind of editing software do you use or are you using the GoPro to edit?
Can you post the link where you bought the pole please. THANKS.
Awesome! I have just started using external power on mine and every time Iit started to rain or get wavy i would be worried .
go to a pharmacy..... they have silicone ear plugs that look like caugh drops....you can mold them to cover the gap without leaving any residue in your electronics...worked fine for me on Saturday
@@experimentalfishing1292 interesting idea!
Kristine, what is the name of the Ram Tough mount you have on your HRAIL ? I cannot for the life of me find it.
maybe you have covered it before but what mic do you use? I ordered that same case, and wondered how you connect sound as well? wireless mic? Thanks
The battery compartment was open in the video... for show? I’m assuming that in order for it to be water tight there is a cover to close it up right? That no battery tip was great. I never would’ve thought that would’ve made that much difference. Tight lines and stay safe out there!!
What memory card do you use and do you leave it on record all day
This was absolutely helpful, Thank you so much!!
Great video!
Thanks!!!
Slick setup
👊🏻
Good information! Thankyou!
You betcha
Great video. I've been playing with my GoPro 6 and use the same Ram Mount. What I've found is that a lot of the boat noise, clunking, pedaling etc seems to get transferred through the mount to the camera. I don't even hear those noises happening so they aren't loud but are very noticeable on the videos. Do you have any issues with this? By the way, we sell those Dakota Lithium Power Boxes at Outdoor Emporium in Seattle.
Sometimes I notice it, but only when my mount isn’t tight - I don’t use an external mic either
Great video. Also it is good that you took out the internal battery while your GoPro is powered by external power, or else many many many GoPro cameras will simply REFUSE to use the external power (It will ONLY use the internal battery, and the externally connected power will NOT even charge the internal battery while the camera is recording)
no mic?..record in loop mode?
I have never needed to use a mic with the hero 8- and I don’t use loop. I have a 256 gig Sd
@@kristinefischer2289 so editing must take a long time?
Yes... yes it does :( maybe I need to start experimenting with loop
Kristine Fischer Loop mode is the way to go! Saves so much time during editing. Give it shot.
@@YakNZakFishing How does it work? How can you be sure not to miss or record over catches?
Thank you very much Awesome video

Wow! what is the camera you're recording in? Love the depth of field.
Awesome Case!!!
Having trouble finding that battery box can u provide a link?
Yes. I’ll put it in my description in a few min!
can you run two cameras off of one batt pack ? Have an 8 and 5 session ? Thanks
Awesome tips, thank you! Now I need to go get a job so I can buy a new GoPro, battery box and two ram mounts 😂
Hi Kristine. Thanks for the tips. I run a similar setup on the Hero7’s but I run them off of a single Nocqua 10ah battery. What is your audio recording solution out on the water? I currently use a Tascam DR10L and I’m trying to go to the Rode Wireless Go, but running into compatibility issues with the GoPro wifi.
I honestly have just used the 8s built in audio and it seems to work fun

Where u get these battery set ups
What are your protune settings for the GoPro itself ?
Nice video👍🏼👍🏼
You havent had any issues with the gp8 overheating without the battery? I read a review that it gets hot after about 12 mins of filming in 4k
No I haven’t.... yet :/ hopefully I don’t! I had issues when the battery was in the camera, taking it out solved all issues for me
How many amp hours will the hero 8 use up on a full 7 hour day of fishing? Thinking about running off of my 100ah lipo4 in my min kota trolling motor power station via 12dc outlet.
So for multi-day tournaments do you have extra 10amp batteries or do you just have to remember to recharge every night?
It last more than a day - but I do try to remember to charge it each night
Thank for the info cause I’m going to be GoPro for the first time on my yak.
This video is awesome, quick question for anyone, has anybody tried using a yakpower system to power their gopros? It would be nice if I could plug my gopro wire directly into an outlet in my hull that connects to my 24ah accessory battery.
Do you just keep the GoPro recording throughout your fishing trip? When I do that, for some reason it will stop and save every 11 minutes..
Yes I do. Mine saves in 11 min intervals also
iamjabr Try using the 5 minute loop function on the go pro. I film muskie fishing quite a bit and it works perfect for that. Saves the video in 1 minute intervals as well which is nice for editing.
How big the memory card do you have to film the whole day?
Would this work on a GoPro 7 black ?
Yes it would
how do you measure a muskie in a kayak?
What size SD card are using for multiple day filming?
256 gig
Using 60 or 30p?
What about audio and wind noise
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️🐟🐟🐟
Thanks for the info and can u do a jackhammer challenge
Oh yes - took third place in a tourney on the jackhammer this weekend , that vid is coming soon!
Cool I’m try to get more but a lot of them are on back Oder
Kilker info, thx
You bet
Do you find yourself going through multiple memory cards in a day?
I did... until I got a 256 gig
New Age Angler Use looping function on the gopro. 5 min should be plenty for most applications. I can musky fish all day with a 64 GB card no problem.
Ive got a question. Where you at. Wanna go feeshn. Lol
Holy crap you're my favorite Barbie doll
