papak Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Expecting my new Hero8 today. A couple of questions have come up that I am getting conflicting opinions on. What is the largest SD card it will handle 128 or 256? Will it accept an external power input? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick OTeen Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It will handle a quality 265GB memory card. As for external power, check out this video: [video=youtube;WzFk0HmUC-Y] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toldfield Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Nothing to do to do with the SD card size... I mount my Hero 8 on the rollbar. The video is great and the stabilization works really well. The sound is horrible due to the wind noise. I got a Rode microphone and extension cable to try various locations. After a lot of trial and error I found that mounting the mic under the dash facing rearward worked just fine. GoPro makes an adapter that allows an external mic and power supply that works very well.

Croc Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 There is a long running thread on how to get decent audio/video on an action camera in our cars plus experiments with stabilization. Trial and error describes the thread perfectly.... http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?8791-Getting-decent-video-audio-on-your-Seven/page5&highlight=microphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ditto the under-the-dash placement of the external mic (wrapped in a sock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
