You're very welcome!

Hey, cool review. I use this cable for nearly one year and it is the only way that I know for the use of an external power source and a external mic. Unfortunately I wrack the cable lately. All the cables where pulled of the plug. Looks repairable but I have no idea which cable on which pin...

Wow the price isn't as bad as I thought it would be...$38 for the water resistant version is very reasonable for what it does! Thanks for sharing!

I bought the Gopro 4 silver and the swintronics battery eliminator but my footage has a high pitched hiss when using the swintronics cable. any suggestions?

....LOVE your videos! I recently purchased the Hero4 Silver to record my sons' baseball games, and basketball games. Will you please recommend what I could use for battery power for games that last 2 hours, and iften 2 or 3 games a day, also how would you suggest I attach the camera to a baseball fence,or do you recommend another option for me? Thanks!

iftibashir it's because he does not have the tags brings your attention to this video. Without that everyone else's come up on top. So we all hunt for the best videos like this.

I have bought a similar thing from e-bay. I am also using an additional microphone that I am plugging on the side. But the problem is that I have some kind of electric interference sound on the recording. Do you have this sound with Switronix as well

How do you mount the GoPro with the vanilla version of the product?? I am unaware of any way to usefully mount my GoPro 4 without the waterproof case. Hence I ordered one with the snap-on rear case addition. Should work well... just not sure how useful this could be without that. There's no tripod mount on the camera itself.

works 100% with 3+ black . tried and tested by myself !!!!!!!!!!!

Can i use this on gopro hero 3

it would make more sense to have that lumb next to the usb rater than the port

Does it also work on a GoPro Hero 3+?

Does this mean u can charge with the back cable and the side cable at once?

if you buy this can you then stream and record at the same time? because if i charge (with pc) and stream at the same then it is not possible.

Does this charge battery also? Alternative to a broken USB port?

Amazing!

Talking about batteries. Did you do the test video I suggested last year? Would still be interesting to see how long a GoPro can be run using a powerpack like the external battery shown in this video :).

***** It would depend upon the capacity of the powerpack being used. Most would easily outlets several 64GB memory cards!

Is the cable permanently mounted in the version with the case included or can you remove and use it without the back case? It appears that you might need to have both versions. If you used a frame or skeleton case then can you use this and have an external mic plugged in at the same time?

Nice video and product. Where did you got the 3.5 female jack to mini usb adaptor?

most external battery backs stop charging and turn off when the device is fully charged, does this mean this cable wont work? or is there certain battery packs that don't shut off? or is it always draining power?

sold

couldn't you just use the battery backpac and plug in the charge there and the mic in the regular usb port at the gopro itself? :D

Yikes, that backend is huge, does it also work on a GoPro Hero 4 Silver with touchscren? Wait, I missed that part, I see it now!

sebastian lopez alejos No. The Switronix cable has the regulator module to ensure compatibility.

Works on Hero 3+?

i don't get it. i have al this but it won't work... why?

Does anybody no if this works on the hero 3?

I want to power my Go Pro units from an AC wall outlet. What AC to DC USB charger / power supply do you recommend using with this cable? Or can a regular 5 volt 1 amp USB phone charger work to power the Hero 4 for continuous recording, using a Standard USB A to mini USB device cable, connected to the mini USB side port on the Hero 4?

Prob a bit late for you but if you google EN187, he sells these and a rear door that allows you to get to the connector

If i pull the battery out the power will go off. So without a battery it won't record:(

I bought this product for my Hero 4 Silver. It was a complete disappointment. The cord that plugs into the back of the camera was way too short. It was very hard to plug in and close the door behind it. It looks like the cord in this video is longer, but not much. The third time I opened the case and pulled the plug out, it came apart exposing the area where the wires were soldered to the plug. It was cheaply made and very fragile. This product is fine in theory but needs to be be re engineered with more cord inside the water resistant case and sturdier manufacturing. Try the case from 3BR Powersports instead,

does the system charge a battery that is in the camera simulataneously?

Steve Katsikas No - just like a GoPro Battery BacPac doesn't charge the internal battery either - just provides extra power. The internal battery is only charged via the side MiniUSB port.

Yes. This time in 2019, I have tested it with internal battery installed and external power bank connected via this battery eliminator (CORESWX DV-GP4) on go pro hero 4. The external power bank actyally is charging the internal battery. It is particularly useful when you use gopro smart remote and go pro on suction cup holder in a vehicle. But internal battery overheating issue may remain further test.

is the connector the same as the connector from the samsung galaxy tab?

*Kapture * this is what I’m looking for, does it work?

Why in hell would they put the that module right next to the plug that goes into the back of the GoPro? they should have designed it with it at the USB end of the cord. less intrusive at that end.

Looks like Amazon stopped carrying this model. Ebay still has them though for $19

At approx 3:02 you mention users are "able to remove the battery" when using this power supply. With my Hero4 Silver, it only accepts power from the Switronix DV-GP4-USB when there is no battery installed. When there is a battery installed, the camera sources power from the battery until it is dead and then shuts down (and never tries to get power from the DV-GP4-USB. I've contacted GoPro several times and Switronix, but none of the technicians I spoke with could figure out whether this is normal operation or a defect. Can you confirm whether my experience is works-as-designed or a technical issue? If it is works as designed, is anyone here aware of an external power supply that will work when there is a battery installed? Thanks in advance!

So I had a fully charged battery in my Hero 4 Silver. I plugged in the 30 pin connector to the back of the camera. The charging icon on camera nor red charging light appears. BUT it still keeps the camera alive. I was able to have WiFi and take 5 sec continuous shots for 8 days straight. The battery level was still full. It was a bit warm but nothing to be concerned about. You will run out of SD card space with this AC connector.

Thanks Tony, sounds like there's an issue with my particular 4 Silver. Appreciate the update.

Here's an idea, one that has a plug at the end for a standard power source................. Still waiting.

I use this everyday.

Yep, see these used on TV shows where GoPro's are mounted inside cars. Too bad from the Hero 3 up. The battery capacity is the complaint. Sticking to and President of the Hero 2 lovers club....hahahahaha

you forget one really important thing which really is annoying about your video when a battery lead is plugged in the side you are unable to record so totally pointless it only charges when the record is disabled so for that big thumbs down

@iftibashir

At the time of this video you could actually record while charging - thats the whole point of having this unit. GoPro later released a new firmware which stopped recording while charging because so many people were using GoPro's on their drones. GoPro wanted to stop this as they were working on their own drone solution - the Karma. Hence that stopped other accessories, like this one, from working too. As the Karma turned out to be a major flop, recording while charging is now available again - although on newer GoPro revisions. If you want to allow accessories like this to work on your older GoPro you need to be running an older firmware - from before GoPro stopped the feature. You are free to 'thumbs down' the video, but to be fair this was down to GoPro at a later date - not an issue when this accessory was released, or if you run an older firmware (where the accessory will still work as normal).... Thank you for your comment regardless.
