4 Days To Go
BacPac is a success! 3 hours of continuous footage is now within my grasp, which will make life a lot easier. I charged it up overnight via USB, and it seems to have done the job this time so god knows why it took so long the first time. Very odd though, you cannot run the GoPro from the extra battery alone: It uses the bacpac first off, then the main battery. If you have zero charge in the main battery, then it won't turn on at all, even if the bacpac is full.
And yes, I'm up at 6am just to get stuff done today. Yay superhappyfuntimes
