how long are you able to record in 1 sitting? Wondering if this would be okay to use in airsofting. Would probably be 10-30 min games, could even be longer tho.

When I used the Vado HD 8 GB with new, good batteries, I was able to record up to two hours, I think. The problem was that the batteries became so unreliable that sometimes I'd think I was set up to record a two hour show then the Vado would die after ten minutes. This happened several times even after I bought completely new batteries. I tried to make this work, but in the end, the lack of reliability caused me to stop using the Vado altogether. Very poor customer support by the mfr.

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

We just used it at Christmas and we definitely used it longer then 30 minutes. Hope that helps.

I really cannot endorse this product anymore for any type of use. I was only able to use it for 8 months before it started not charging and other issues that I cannot explain in a timely manner. I would try looking for a used GoPro or something along that lines.

You could get 30 mins. It has a normal def and HD setting. Definitely can get 30 mins on standard def. I bought this for my daughter to record armature movies. Her episodes are about 30 mins per shoot on standard def.

I think this would be a great mic for live performance, as far as on-camera mics go. Better than a shotgun because with this mic you'll get sound from the whole room, not just whatever you're pointed at. However for a live performance I'd definitely try to record from the audio soundboard - then you can sync up your camera with the audio recording and have the best of both.

you can pause the video play back, but not really the video recording (which is no different than stopping the recording...which you can do). It's cheap, water resistant...but the mic is not well designed for heavy water use. I also have trouble with it sometimes giving me a "slow media" error. I don't use mine anymore and would not reccomend it to anyone.

It takes a few hours of charge time, then flies for about 1/2 an hour. Not sure of the recording time limit, though...sorry...

Sorry, I have no experience w/airsoft. Std by...Ok so I put a micrometer on it just for you. It mic'd at exactly 3/8 of an inch. I mic'd both my UTG and Blackhawk QD's and they were exactly the same. Put a ruler or something on your female attachment point, preferably a micrometer since the tolerances on these things can be pretty tight. If you're smaller than 3/8 by even a smidgen, look for another QD. Hope this helps

Depends on how you go about capturing it, as in whether you are basing it on the battery and a single sitting or on the memory and how much it stores. On one battery charge I have recorded over two hours straight and still had enough battery life to keep going for what I estimated to be another six hours. As far as storage, it will hold as much audio as you put into it with storage. MP3 audio files are much smaller than video and store compactly on even relatively small 4GB SD cards.

I use it for Airsoft in Oklahoma. I seat pretty bad, and I have no issues. The only thing you need to watch out for is the cold and bending it to much. It's not Carbon Fiber so in the cold it will break.

for video recording, i lasted as much as i needed. Longest i used it for was close to 5 min using a class 10 32gb card. I think it records plenty though so it should be good for +5min vids. I did have my battery drained much faster too so keep that in mind. Other than that, yea it's pretty good cam for the price. I getting me a 2nd one which the first one i just had a little scratch on the lens. Hopefully that was helpful! :D

I certainly haven't seen a delay in the 3-4 second range, but I never paid attention much as it didn't matter since it was just sitting there recording. Any extra time at the beginning or end could be edited out. I don't know that it would work playing a game from, though. It's not like having video plugged into a monitor. (I mention this because you mention having a game capture card.)

Comparing with conventional camcorder, this recorder does capture amazing sound quality but very poorly with video. There's not much zooming and stabilization. It's okay when used on a stand and tape in close range (not more than 3 rows from the stage). On battery, not sure if it can work for 1.5 hours. You can connect with AC during the taping though (will need a long extension power cord). I plugged mine to a TV with HDMI and it works relatively easy (again great sound but hold your breath on the image). Files containing the recording will be huge, guess you can save it on larger SD card.

I think so. Storage is not a problem with me, so I just download all that I've recorded and delete when I edit the clips into a longer video. This is an excellent action camera with a 2-1/2 hour on-time battery life. I leave mine on while kayaking (have two, one as a backup for the second 2-1/2 hours.

As long as you want. I have one clip of a school play that is 45 minutes... you can record as long s you have battery power and card space, as far as I am aware.

yes you could record that long because I have mine setup for security purposes and it works fine. and I have co-workers that record long class seminars and I haven't heard any complaints from them

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet . I am kind of disappointed by the quality of the video myself . Not too enthused by it . It can't record high speed action like it's said to be able to do.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

Hi. You can record as much and as long as you want depending on the size of your SD Card. There is a 30 minute limit to any one recording however, then you can begin recording again.

Depends on what type of quality you want, i can record up to 8 hours but the quality reduces. optimum time is 2 hours for a high quality recording.
