Sort of just thinking out loud...
I need to record a church wedding ceremony this weekend, but I am struggling to find a way to record video for the 45-60 minutes it could last.
Options I have looked at:
Does anyone have any other bright ideas? The quality doesn't need to be amazing (it's just to show someone who can't be there), as long as you can see and hear what's going on. At the moment it's looking like the smartphone might be the best (least bad) option, and then buying some sort of plug-in microphone to help improve the audio.

Options I have looked at:
- Insta360 Go 2. It's a lot of fun to use but I don't think the battery would last. Plus it overheats and usually switches off quite quickly.
- Fuji X-T2. Seems to limit video length to 15 mins, although I could get a second-hand battery grip which extends it to 30 mins. Then just cross my fingers all the good bits are caught on camera!
- Record it on a smartphone. Not great, I know, but I've tested my P20 and it seems to record for as long as needed until I stop it. My OH has a Pixel with a better camera, so that's even better.
