GoPro/Waspcam Battery Usage

[Can't Catch Bass]

Hello. I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong section.

 

I have a question about battery usage for action cameras. 

 

I was wondering, how many mAh of capacitance I should need to run an action camera filming 1080p at 30fps with WiFi enabled over a 10hr span?

 

I'm looking to purchase Waspcam 9905 and power it remotely with a USB battery pack. I've never used an action camera, so I have no clue how many mAh I should be looking at... I don't want to go too overboard and spend more than I should.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am unfamiliar with the Waspcam so I don't know how much power it would draw filming at 1080p @30fps with wifi turned on. Take a closer look at the camera's battery capacity and how much time you can get from it.

 

What I can tell you, which might be helpful, is that my Gopro Hero 4 at 1080p @30fps with wifi turned on is rated to draw 1160mah for 1h40m. Now that is in perfect conditions. Outdoor temps and other settings will affect that time so my general rule of thumb has been 1000mah per hour to be on the safe side. My USB battery pack is 10,000mah which gives me 10 hours of run time. It is pretty small in size.

 

Also bear in mind that the batteries and battery pack's capacity will diminish over time as they get older and with the charge/recharge cycles.

 

Hope this helps some.

I tried 10000 mah once and I can record 1080p @30fps almost 10 hours this was not wifi enable and record at night with no light or little activities.

Now I use 5000 mah when I go out on fishing trip and the longest I ever record was 4-5 hours and still have some juice left on my power bank.
