Depends on the resolution setting and memory card size. 32GB card will hold over 3 hours of 720 resolution if I remember correctly. Using 1080 is overkill IMO…I can’t tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on a 60” HD TV.

If you get a Go Pro, buy a 12’ telescoping lure retriever from Bass Pro and mount the camera to it using the tripod mount. From 12’ away you can get some interesting shots with its wide angle lens. I’ve used mine off hotel balconies, overhead, sticking out of a car’s sunroof…just be prepared for questions and strange looks walking around with a camera on a boom.

Did not realize they took memory cards. Three hours on 32gb seems pretty good. I am sure you get some WTH looks with that thing mounted like that.

Yep that's the video...... I believe I was guiding that hunt..... It's pretty neat cause they hunt strictly jags and they will have 20 dogs on one wheeler.... Lol hope y'all enjoyed the video and thanks for posting it!

My mistake...looked at my camera again last night. With an empty 32GB card, it was showing 7 hours 10 minutes left on 720 resolution. The 3.5 hours is for 1080.

How far is the range that you can film? I know it says it is for upclose, but what would you say the range may be.

Mike, I love mine and use it often. I find I use it more for the photos than the video. There an aftermarket modification that can be done to slightly extend the focal length to make it better for bird hunting video.
