Recording at the Game 

  • Prepare Your GoPro

You can find more information and user-manuals in the manufacturer’s website: GoPro- User’s Manual/Forum 

  • Turn on the camera and check that the lightning bolt icon is displayed, indicating that the camera is being charged by the external battery pack.
  • Verify Video Settings are as follows. Go to Video Settings>Preferences 
    • 4K resolution at 30 FPS.
    • Field Of View set to SuperView (or widest angle view).
    • Shutter set to 1/100. 

  • Connect the Equipment
    • Connect the external battery to the mounting gear. 

    • Connect the power cable to the adaptor. You will need to remove the slot cover first. 

    • Attach your camera to the battery pack and lock it in place.

    • Connect the camera to the battery pack using the USB cable.


  • Set up the camera:
    1. Place the camera near the mid-court line.
    2. Raise the tripod to about 8-10 feet in height.
    3. Place the camera about 8-10 feet off the sideline as well. The goal is to capture the entire court (all four corners). 

  • Start Recording
    • It’s ok to start the recording a bit early. You’ll be able to trim it down to the precise game time during the upload. *Note that the camera’s screen may turn itself off during recording, this is normal.
    • Once you’ve started recording, don’t move the camera. Once the event ends, stop the recording.
