Great video. You answered some questions I had. I already got my Volta and I didn't know I could twist the head for tripod angles. Thank you.

What do you think about other video recorders in this style. Have you used the Insta360 hardware and then edited a clip?

Do you have to charge both 12 and Volta independantly ? I connected Volta to go pro but the battery lasted 3 mins. I paired them both and do the Volta provide power through cable to go pro as it runs out very quickly

How do you use Fast Charge Model? With the Hero 10 battery dead, and the Volta Dead...it takes 4+ hours to charge both. (approx 2.5 hrs for Hero 10 and 2+ hrs for Volta. It charges the Hero 10 first, then switches to Volta.) (45W charger) Also, when I plugged in the Hero 10 to Volta, I got a "Updating Volta" notice on the Hero 10. Prior to that I was having random bugs with the Volta while using the Media Mod. Seems like all is normal now after that update notice.

Great! That may be the perfect solution for the overheating problem. Just one problem: The Volta uses a USB-C port. So where or how can I connect my microphone that also uses a USB-C port? Any solution that you are aware of?

Is it just the hole in the bottom of the door that makes it non waterproof … or the sides and top of the door as well? Thinking about purchasing one to use while fly fishing … wouldn’t want to stumble and fall in the water with it … even though it might only be a few seconds under water … so if it were just a problem with the bottom hole in the door, that could be sealed easily with the cord inside … ie ,,. A bit of epoxy, etc. Thanks for the video.

Great Video. Very clear explanations that helped me pull the trigger and order a Volta as I'm a new GoPro 10 owner and noticed right away that the battery wasn't lasting very long compared to my Cannon Digital Camera.

Приветствую коллегу по Ютубчику, вопрос у меня по данной теме, купил Volta и заметил на днях такую проблему, вечером зарядил полностью АКБ, то-есть ручку вольту, а утром было минус 1 диод на палке. Через три дня минус 2 диода(((( Отключил голосовое управление, Отключил ВИ ФИ Но помоему все равно садится, храню ее подключенной к 11 прошке, без внутреннего аккума в прохе. В чем может быть дело? Не замечал ли подобное?

Agree as seeing as it’s not IP rated you would have thought that the remote part would clip out. But then they wouldn’t sell the standalone.

The Volta does not charge your Gopro when recording, it only charges when not recording. When recording the Gopro drains the battery until it is flat. After that the Gopro turns off and charges from the Volta. So to get extended filming time you need to remove the battery and power your Gopro from the Volta. A design limitation.

Are you sure Sir. Because i'm very interested to have one. Please confirm.

Hi! From what I can tell, the cable itself is permanently attached to the Volta.

So, instead of working on a better battery, they chose to make a holder they can sell for $129. They’re definitely not trying to help us; they’re trying to make more money.

@mokaLARE 2 жыл бұрын

@@ArchaicTTV yep and I mentioned it in the comment (holder). For the info, I bought it two weeks ago and having already the different accessories for chest, head, car etc., I’m not sure I will need it on constant basis. And I think that will be the same for the majority of people using GoPro because it’s not that interesting to hold his camera compared to having it stuck on yourself (hands free to do whatever you want to).
