Waterproofing Battery Pack for Video Recording

pernunz on 08/05/2015 - 12:02

Hi All,

I know the battery packs are a common item that are posted here on Ozbargain, so wondering if anyone has any experience in waterproofing them.

For our soccer club we have a Ghost (Go Pro equivalent) which we stick behind a goal and record continuously. The battery needs changing once or twice a day to ensure it keeps recording. We've discovered it can record whilst being connected to a Battery Pack/Power Brick.

So, ideally we'd have the power brick continually connected to the Ghost to unsure it's charging and recording all day, but we're a bit worried about water getting into the internals of both the battery back, and the camera itself.

Any advice would be appreciated

    wouldn't you also need to weather proof the camera while you're plugged into it?

    You could store the battery pack in an enclosure like this. Drill a hole for the cable and later seal it with silicone or something.
