GoPro pollination camera
This is the setup I use to record pollinators with GoPro cameras. The camera is fitted with GoPro's extended battery backpack. In the blue Pelican case is a 2700mAh lithium ion cell phone battery connected to an Adafruit solar lithium ion / polymer charger that is in turn connected to an Adafruit Mintyboost to boost the output voltage to the 5V required by the camera. The solar panel connects to the charger and charges the battery. This 3.4 watt 6V panel is soid by Voltaic Systems. Using this setup I can easily film for 12 hours on a sunny day.
