The remote I'm thinking of stated it will last 4 hours, less in cold conditions. The WIFI connection will eat up the GO pro battery life so I'll need to bring a spare batter, charger. Swap it out before lunch.
I don't know the specs of a Go Pro, so I can only ask questions.
How much data can the rig you're looking at hold? (not raw GB, but number of stills or minutes of movies) How long will it run on a single charge? Is that enough for a day's work, and can you recharge the rig and transfer the data before you need to use it again?
Low-light/no-light - is there a ring flash rig available?
Live remote viewer - I think that's what the tablet's for...
Flash? - In a possibly explosive atmosphere? I may be crazy, but not suicidal!
Live-remote viewer - Again, I'd like to have my hands free. Having a tablet defeats the purpose. I've seen those tablets fail on the second day of an inspection because of the extreme conditions.
