G'day all.
I have an event coming up in a few weeks. It's a five or six day conference, with one of the venues being a huge exhibition centre.
I've got the stills covered, but the organisers are also keen to have a timelapse of the week in the exhibition centre. They already have about half a dozen Gopros they're wanting to use (Hero 3+ black I think, or whatever the top of the line one is called) and they're asking me to manage them.
So they'll be rigged up in the roof, etc. around the place. Is there an easy way to power the cameras? I know you can run them off a computer/laptop which would also be handy for dumping the images to. Unfortunately I don't think they have 6 laptops, or the space to fit them near the cameras (plus then you'd have to run power to the laptops anyway).
I feel like I'm being stupid and missing something, but it looks like a complete pain to run for a week. Firstly in powering the cameras, and secondly in collecting the images. I wouldn't want to be taking cards in and out every day, as it will of course move the cameras, which would mess up the final video.
Any tips?
Cheers,
J
