Works with some work.

The case is solid but needed to modified. I had to un glue the adapter and grind (file) off one of the 4 ribs that hold the camera in. There was not enough clearance for my hero silver and the power cord to fit

Great go pro add-on

Works great with my existing case. It is nice to be able to plug it in for long shots and not have to worry about the short battery life with my GoPro batteries. Seals up nicely so I don't have to worry about leaving my camera overnight for some star shots. The product actually arrived earlier than the estimated shipping date too which was nice!

Great product!

I bought this so I can use my GoPro on my motorcycle trips. Having to change a battery every hour was a problem, but with this power cable, everything is great. I was even able to use my video screen back by notching the case of the GoPro and routing the cable out the bottom. Great product, works as advertised and was shipped in a very timely manner. Could not ask for more. (Sorry for the bug guts on the windshield in the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDU-a8dfg3w&feature=youtu.be

Overcome power limitations with the Core SWX DV-GP4-USBC, a 10' battery eliminator USB cable specifically designed for the GoPro HERO4 camera. This innovative accessory features a clear backdoor housing, enabling you to power your GoPro HERO4 from any available USB source, including PC or Mac computers with a minimum 1A current. The unique design allows for uninterrupted viewing of the LCD on the Silver edition, enhancing your user experience.

Unlike standard USB cables, the Core SWX DV-GP4 adapter securely locks into the bus connector on the back of the camera. This eliminates the need to rely on the less secure USB connection on the side of the camera, which can easily disengage. This feature provides a reliable and secure power connection, which is crucial when using the camera in high impact situations or extreme environments.

The adapter also integrates with the front submersible housing of the GoPro, offering splash resistance and rain proofing capabilities. Please note, while it can withstand splashes and rain, it is not submersible.

One of the key advantages of this cable solution over a battery is the absence of heat generation, significantly reducing the risk of camera overheating. This makes it an ideal solution for extended run times, particularly when filming for long periods.

In summary, the Core SWX DV-GP4-USBC 10' battery eliminator USB cable with backdoor case offers a reliable, secure, and heat-free power solution for your GoPro HERO4 camera, while also providing splash resistance and rain proofing. It's a must-have accessory for any GoPro HERO4 user.

Core SWX Battery Eliminator Features

  • Specifically designed 10' battery eliminator USB cable for GoPro HERO4 cameras

  • Secure lock into the camera's bus connector for reliable power connection
  • Compatible with any USB source, including PC and Mac computers (minimum 1A current)
  • Splash resistant and rain proof, enhancing the camera's durability in various conditions
