Is there anything I could do to extend the battery life of my vx-2000 on the hill. I literally got 7 minutes in before it died. Just wondering if anyone has some weird trick or solution or maybe some advice. Thanks.

Put a toe warmer (the ones with the adhesive) on the compartment where the battery is

Just microwave your battery for a filming seshion, then it will stay warm longer

I'm not getting a new cam and also gopros serve a purpose for sure and the new ones actually seem pretty high quality, but thats not what I want. Im stoked on my vx bro.
