    Aric, thank you for bringing this up.

    Yeah, the only battery I’m changing out is the chest cam battery. The slickest way to run a chest cam for what I do is just to use the batteries.

    All the other cameras run off the house battery, with the exception of the console cam, which will be run off the house battery whenever I get around to installing that wire. lol

    I’ve used a few Yoloteks and have two of them, one of which I run on Gnartooth (the old flatboat). I 1,000% recommend NOT running it on something like my tracker because the receptacle is held by friction, not by a lock or screw threads. I will come flying out and then kiss your camera good bye. I’ve left more than jigheads on Louisiana’s sea floor. LOL

    Now I use a painter extension with 10ft charging cables, media mods, backup cables, zip ties, and motorcycle USB adapters to the house battery and 512GB SD cards. I turn the cameras on and leave them on (mostly).

    I’ve tried running a cable from a large battery pack to the chest cam, but it’s unsightly, extra gear, not waterproof and fails more than batteries do.
