I know we all hate ads but I stumbled across a decent one on FB a while back. Not saying to go this route but can spark an idea for whoever has similar Go Pro issues. A company overseas converts GoPros to have constant power supply and a wire remote you can mount anywhere. They have pretty neat set ups/examples. I’m sure a company stateside can do the same. Just figured I would share even though it may be overkill for some.
