Just got mine, works perfect, just have to grind out a little space for cable, thanks for the info
Ed - did you cut a little slot into the camera body into which you can insert the wire and close the battery compartment? Seems like a good idea since it doesn't take much pressure on the internal latch (for the battery itself) to unhinge.
If this is what you did, please post a pic. Thx.
Yep and Nick C modded the cable to run on external
9 volt power instead of dual usb

So, that cable that was linked in order to run it off external power is no longer available. I ran a single USB connection with that DC coupler the last two nights and I assume the voltage was not consistent. After 3-5 minutes the recording crapped out. Sucked because it was my static wide shot. I tried running it at home and with it just powered on and recording (with nothing really moving in the picture) it went for 4.5 hours. But I assume the camera with all its sensors when recording outside in light and moving bodies the camera couldn't handle it and just shut down with the inconsistent voltage.
Anyone know of alternatives to power this thing for long periods? I dislike having to swap the batteries after 90 minutes (at best).
