So I am super new to filming, I film on an iPhone and have a dji gimbal, but either the iPhone or the gimbal always dies. It is at full charge and I go up the lift and when I get to the top, and it just craps out. What should I do? I wanna film effectively without having to go into the lodge every run to recharge stuff and not bring a ton of chargers and whatnot to the mountain. What should I do? I've been starting to find the whole process of filming and editing very fun and want to make it even better by eliminating the stage of dying gear
Ahaha I should have think try to find a cheap cover you can put over you phone to protect it from cold or get a case for your phone to have extra batteries and keep it warm which is what I personally use

alright, I have a phone case for my phone, and when I use my gimbal, an extra battery can't be attatched while it is being used.
noah_jaff3hmm that is interesting. I have an iPhone 6s that is beat... I am considering just getting a new phone and calling it a day
Bro I had the 6s and same thing happened every time. I never filmed but pulling it out on the chair to text or whatever caused it to die at like 50-60% battery... Just got the iPhone X with a nice case and I have a full charge after a whole day. Yeah upgrade that!!

i have a 6s and it does the same shit, if the phone is cold to the touch its gonna die no matter what battery percent youre at. im just a cheapo so im not copping a new phone till this one is done fr.

You 100% need to get some hand warmers in your pockets (toe warmers also work). They sell them in 10 packs at Walmart for a few bucks if you don’t want to buy them at a ski shop, they have them on amazon too. Put some in your pocket where you keep your camera gear/iPhone before you put on your skis and get on hill. It’ll keep your equipment nice and toasty so when you go to actually film it won’t die on you within 5 seconds & you can record a good bit of footage throughout the day since the hand warmers have a few hours of heat in them.

Fuck I'm reading yours and all the other 6s posts such a shit problem to have, how do I even get an upgrade in 2018, that gonna be like $800 or what?
Currently I wear 1 of 2 windbreakers I own with kangaroo pouches, I keep my phone plugged into a portable charger in the pocket, honestly still dies tho, major sad

Yeah it costs way too much, I got pretty lucky because my phone was paid off so I was due for an upgrade anyway. Was like $150 for me, but Idk. My 6s died within a minute of me pulling it out of my pocket in anything less than 30 degrees
smh at people who just upgrade solely because their batteries wear out. A battery replacement strait from apple has been $29 for all of 2018, and is going back up to $49 instead of the standard $79 after the new year. $49 is nothing to get the performance of a new phone again, without actually paying for a new phone

Yes this exactly, not sure why the downvotes. Old batteries are like 90% of the reason for iPhones crapping out after a few years and thus dying in the cold all the time. It's literally so easy and cheap that you can do it yourself you don't even need to take it to apple.

true it is cheap and easy to do it yourself, but unless you have a 6 or older I'd recommend just having apple do it so your waterproofing isn't ruined (the 6S has gaskets even though they never advertised an IP rating) also they are way less likely to help you with further potential issues down the road if they know you or a third party opened up the phone instead of apple themselves
caught a real giggle from me when I saw "iPhone"
packaging says it shouldnt be out in below 0 temp last I checked
I own an iphone, and i say to you sir, fuck iphones
ill still prob buy more but fuck em and their weak batteries & updates
