Charging while you record

A full game uses a lot of battery, so plugging into a power bank is a good idea for anything over about an hour. The cable matters, though.

Do

• Use a short, light cable.
• Route it so it hangs loose and doesn't pull on the phone or the gimbal arm as the camera turns.
• Put the power bank on the tripod or the ground, not hanging from the phone.
• Plug in before kick-off, not mid-game.
• Charge the gimbal before the game too. The Ready screen shows whether its battery will last.

Don't

• Use a long, heavy or stiff cable. It can unbalance the gimbal, make it work harder and even disconnect it.

If the gimbal disconnects, KickCam keeps recording and shows arrows to follow by hand. When it reconnects, the camera re-centres and carries on.
