We're trying a GoPro, but it overheats and file storage is big.

We can work around the file storage issues with some post-processing, but it uses a lot of battery life, requiring an external battery that overheats the camera and shuts things down.

Hence the search for an alternative.

How remote? Is power available? How frequent does it need to relocate? ** -- 48zip 05/15/2018 12:26PM

We have a solar panel and battery than permits recharging at night. -- Kamikaze Hoo 05/15/2018 12:28PM

Why not just a go-pro? They're designed to be weatherproof -- `lag 05/15/2018 12:12PM

Agree. Definitely a Go-Pro or a good Chinese knock-off ** -- HokieNoVA 05/15/2018 12:23PM

One idea (inside) -- FfxStationHokie 05/15/2018 12:12PM

That looks good, but it seems to need a conventional power source. ** -- Kamikaze Hoo 05/15/2018 12:37PM

Beta or VHS ** -- CPRVHokie 05/15/2018 12:02PM
