Can you charge it while plugged into the waterproof case? Does it support 64gb micro SD? My use would be mounted to a motorcycle full time.

No you cannot charge it while in the water proof case. Not sure on the 64gb but I put a 32gb and that gives me over 3 hours of record time. I've also noticed while in the water proof case it doesn't pick up voice very well. I absolutely love the picture quality though. If you buy it I hope you live it as much as I do.

Hi Dave,This was in the product description: " Support storage cards up to 32GB maximum"Regarding waterproof case.. the case that comes with the camera does not have any openings to allow for charging with the case on. Having said that.. there is an internal battery which will last about 60 - 70 minutes with 1080p recording. And... you can also look into those GoPro cases that have openings for the ports. I believe those GoPro cases are compatible with this camera. I could be wrong, though.. you may have to research this with some trial-and error! Also if you do trial and error on the GoPro cases.. please report back! :D Hi Dave,This was in the product description: " Support storage cards up to 32GB maximum"Regarding waterproof case.. the case that comes with the camera does not have any openings to allow for charging with the case on.

You cannot plug while in case, but it is very easy to take off and charge. It only supports up to 32 gb mirco sd only. It does comes with a motorcycle mount.

I don't see any way to charge while in the case. and 32gb is the max from what I read. The waterproof case worked great for us snorkeling and the camera has a lot of nice features for the price, we really enjoy our SJ4000.

I'm currently using a 64gb micro sd on mines! No, you can't charge it with the case on, unless you mod it of course...

No. You have to take it out of the case to charge it. I do not know about the 64 GB card. It works while charging and it comes with a shell of a case for a tripod mount. If you do not need it to be waterproof, you could easily drill a hole in the case to access the charge port.

I plugged in a 64GB and it seemed to work, but looking at the file setup it is apparently only using 32GB of it. I have since swapped it out for a 32GB and used the 64GB in my Canon camera.

I'm not sure why you would want to leave a flash drive plugged in all the time no matter if it was very small. I bought a 64GB micro SD card and put it my Galaxy S5. I use the adapter for sharing stuff with other phones that don't have a slot for a micro SD card or to watch a movie etc. I consider it's use temporary and very helpful.

Im sure you can but it would depend on battery life. You may be able to use a car charger that accepts USB cable. I mounted the camera on my motorcycle and it worked fine accept for a little shake.

Yes you can. It is called. A mini USB and they are used for lots of things. One charge lasts a very very long time. Enjoy the case.

No, the battery has to be removed and be charged on an external charger. That's the biggest disadvantage for a water proof camera; at least on this model (AW100).
2090679
Yes. It is an rechargeable external battery in a case. You plug it into a wall outlet using a USB micro wall charger and the battery until the battery is fully charged. They you have two USB outlets that you can use to charge two devices at the same time. Hold a lot of juice!

I will not charge anything. It is only a card reader. You plug it into the mini usb on your phone or tablet. It gives you the ability to read sd card with your phone.

It is possible to charge it with the lower half of the case attached. You just need to be careful while opening the little flap to the side. It can totally be done.

Hey Bobbbo: I just plugged a 1 TB drive into the Micro 2. It gets its power from the USB, not external power and it's working fine. So you should be fine doing what you want. btw, I'm very happy with the unit too.

I get about two hours of video. I am using a 64gig SD. I could get more video but the two hour mark is the max run time on a full charge!

You can easily charge this phone while in the case with the original cord. I have not tried it wirelessly. I have kept 2 Credit cards in the cover for the last 2 months with no issues on my sd card being wiped.

Guy - Thank you for your response. Is it possible that it was the size (64G) as opposed to it being an SDHC? I read that it will only support up to 32G. Also I believe it needs to be formatted to FAT, but I could be wrong. It seems somewhat pointless if it only works with SD cards without the High Capacity as almost all of them are SDHC these days.

The Bulb is for indoor use, and if you locate it in a way that water will have no contact with the bulb, and no moisture, then you can use it outdoors. The micro SD card max size is 64GB, but you can use software and then the limitation is only on your hard drive.

Yes, I have a usb port and I charge my phone by leaving a gap in the zippers. It doesn't affect waterproofness since it's not really waterproof to begin with. Also, watch out for overheating. This case damaged my battery by overheating a couple of times.

Sorry, you won't be able to plug it in to charge and still be able to record video. You'll see an error message on the screen that says "Only playback possible during USB Power Supply." You could, alternatively, buy a spare battery and charge the original battery up until it is full and charge the second up as well and then just swap batteries, but that would force you to break up the video because of the change in batteries and would lose some of the event you are recording in the time it takes to do that. With that said, there are also limits to the file size and/or time that you can capture in a single video as well, so you'd have to break it into smaller recordings at some point anyway with that partially dependent upon the size of the memory card you install and use.

I have been using 4GB USB and no issues so far. Have not tried Micro SD yet.
