Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Battery BacPac's significantly improved battery life and extended recording time as major advantages. Many appreciate its ease of use and the included waterproof housing. However, some users mention the increased size of the camera as a drawback, along with the obstruction of the touch screen.

    I bought this mainly to shoot time lapsed photo at my jobsite. I have a Hero 3 and this battery pac more than doubles the endurance (about 4-5 hours pending time lapse settings). However, it's still no where near some of the other available options on the market and as a result I had to run an additional battery pack to charge this via its USB port. It fits perfectly to the Go Pro camera, but its Achilles Heel is the flimsy USB port. As I mentioned before in order to get the full 8 hours I needed, I attached another battery pack (not go pro) via USB to charge this battery pac. A few times due to the wind, but GoPro would fall over from the tripod and land on its side. The fall destroys the battery pac and I had to get two additional ones. Overall this battery pac does its job if you are looking for 2-4 hours of extra endurance, but I wish it was more robust.

    This is the best companion for GoPro when shooting lots of 4K videos. You can get 128GB micro-SD that work well with 4K videos and this is a compliment to that.

    Its a bit pricy but its still better then having to switch your battery every hour. I get about 3 hours total with this and its nice to charge the BOTH batteries without having to take out the batteries.

    Even though it's double the size of the main battery it only holds about the same amout of power as the main battery.

    I use my BacPacs for connecting to an external power source, such as my cigarette lighter. I was told that going straight to the camera would cause it to overheat. I have never had an overheating issue using the BacPac and with the external power source I can record all day.

    This does a nice job extending the battery life of my Hero 4+ GoPro. I have used it with the waterproof housing while snorkeling and with a skeleton housing. Nice accessory.

    This is a great add on for the GoPro. It has consistently added an hour of battery life to my recording allowing me to not have to change batteries so often.

    I was hoping to do some night lapse projects with my GoPro 4 Silver. This gave me the extra power to do just that. Worth picking up if you own a GoPro 4 Silver.

    The camera itself doesn't have a super long battery life, so this is a must.

    The GoPro Battery BacPac really is the #1 accessory you need. The extra battery life is a HUGE improvement and allows you to get more killer footage!
