Hook up GoPro to motorbike battery

[martynball]

Well, fedup of cars pulling out on me, just had a taxi miss me by about an inch, need get a camera mounted to my helmet! Next car to pull out on me is loosing it's mirrors!

The only issue with GoPro cameras is that the battery isn't the best, especially if using the button/app as well. 

I have seen that you can get 3rd party leads to hook it directly to my battery to power it whilst my bike is running, however I want it waterproof really, to a point. Can anyone recommend a good offical/3rd party case I can put my Hero 4 in to protect it from rain but allow me to plugin the microUSB to charge it whilst riding?

Hi Martyn

 

I've looked for a case but with no luck. But I have found a site that may solve your problem.
