so you started a fishing channel and you want to add a different dimension to
your videos so you want to grab a boom you want to put a boom off the back of your kayak to get
shots like this that's not a problem but what you will run into is that the gopro batteries
are awful they last maybe an hour an hour and a half before you have to change them out
and you're planning on going fishing for a full eight hours and you bulk at the idea of having
to pull the gopro off the boom every eight hours to change out the batteries i have the solution
for you hey welcome back to wendell fishing today i'm going to show you how to set up all day power
for your gopro on your boom and it's easier than you think this channel is for all things fishing
product reviews how to's by target species is all of them and every once in a while i'll do a video
just like this to help you start your fishing channel if that sounds like something you'd
like to see more of please hit that sub and bell notification smash that like button and i will
continue to keep valuable content coming your way now let's hop into this so we decided that
purchasing eight batteries and the chargers which cost you about a hundred dollars would technically
work however the problem is you have to pull your gopro down and change out the batteries
which is a very difficult task when it's behind you on the back of your kayak and you are trying
to fish the likelihood of that going to the bottom of lake at some point over the next year is highly
likely so i got a solution for you head down to the description and you will need two things what
you're going to need is a battery bank and a larger type c charger cord this is the battery
bank that i have it's a db power it's a pretty awesome charger bank in fact this it has a bunch
of dual purposes for me i use it for all-day power for my gopro but also has a smart charge on it
it will tell you an lcd screen how much power you have left in it this lights up in case you have
you're on the side of the road and you need to put flashers out this one actually will jump my car
and so it's a variety of different uses i use it also my kids to when we go on long trips to charge
their kindles so it's not just a purchase for your all day power for your boom i just wanted to make
sure my wife heard that this is a dual purchase it's not just for fishing it's for the family
i'm gonna get in trouble for that one they're kind of expensive uh on amazon
but highly worth it in my opinion you'll get multiple days out of this all right
before you put your camera on your boom you actually need to remove the casing
on the outside of the gopro that goes to your power if you're going to knew this you might not
realize that this actually comes off but you flip it up and once it's already up you just kind of
pop it off and it easily comes out it shouldn't require a lot of force here's the thing once you
remove that hatch this is no longer waterproof so i wouldn't recommend going out fishing
on a rainy day because you might ruin your gopro once you slide that in you can see there's a hole
on the side of the case right there where you can plug in your all-day power now the easy and
fun part um go ahead and put your power bank turn it on put it inside your kayak crate if you don't
have one of these i've actually done a video on how to create your own kayak crate with rod
holders really simple uh head over there and i'll throw it in the cards for you so you can make one
but throw us in the crate run your cord through the side of the crate into the charger
run this back to your boom and you want to run your boom high all the way to the top
now if you don't have a boom yet they can be pretty expensive they can be a hundred bucks
if you buy them outright however i made a diy boom for just about half of that price and so
i'll throw that video up in the cards as well you can check that out but now all you do is
you take your six foot uh type c cable wrap it all the way up to the top and when you get
to the top all you gotta do is plug it in and you my friend have all-day power for your boom
on the back of your kayak if you learned something new today found this helpful please help me out
