Go pro mount under the mirror

im currently working on a solution to power the gopro from the bike to the camera whilst keeping the camera within a waterproof housing .  ive currently got 5v power running to the unit through a modified usb connector which has wires trapped through the door seal, im currently working on a more robust method that utilises the bus connector on the back or dummy battery that is actually a live connector. these wires could run through a grommet in the deeper battery pac back door that ive now got.
Ive just built a" push to charge" switch that can be controlled whilst  on the bike . The gopro likes to be recording before it sense its charging circuit , so once im on the bike and the camera is running I can just hit the charge switch, this resets back to zero each time the bike is turned off.

standard battery last 1 hour 25 mins with video set at 1080 on narrow field 30 fps, 32 gb card last for 2 h 20mins

The easiest way to power the Go Pro camera from a 12v vehicle socket is to buy one of the skeleton camera housings and then simply use the USB connector on the side of the camera and plug the USB lead into a USB socket situated within the vehicles cig lighter adapter.

I had this connection set up with the previous Go Pro in the car, the battery never dies and you have continuous recording if you set the camera to loop. Simple.

Charlie, lets not forget to mention that it shows off MG's tracky bottoms pretty well too.

when it starts raining do you have to stop and back the camera away?

I suspect that MG will have a solution for the power supply soon,

I have done this but used the standard housing and cut a hole when the lead plugs in. A small grommet over the lead seals the hole. No problems yet.

hey pete, that's interesting , I thought of using a grommet but didn't think it would be good enough , does the grommet go around the plug rather than the lead and have you rain tested this set up ??

[PCPeteUK]

I haven't been brave enough to risk rain testing. I put a plain grommet over the bike then and rely on the battery as film looks lousy with rain spots on it from the cover.  :-)

you built my hopes up then .  you have drilled a hole and used a grommet and said you have had no problems , but haven't actually tested it in the rain!  proper confused .

I didn't understand this part of your post
