I just tried out my new Estes Oracle. As most know by now when the power is off all video is lost. I don't have a laptop to down load the video to in the field. So I picked a launch site ~15 minutes from home. I put a new battery in the nose and off to the site I went. Launch was beautiful. I gathered up my stuff, left the power on so I would not loose my video and headed for home. Well I ran into traffic and it took me 25 minutes to get to my driveway. By the time I got up to the computer the camera was dead..No video left.
I don't want to buy a laptop. So how can I rig up multiple batteries in parallel or series to supply additional battery time without frying my Oracle camera. I figured I could solder some leads to the single battery connectors in the camera which could have quick disconnect fittings of some sort to plug in the additional power source.
thanks for the help, KT
