Brunton all day Gopro extended battery pack is a must have for the avid GoPro user. Especially for users aiming at shooting longer time lapse videos. The all day gives you a massive 5+ hours of recording time. Brunton has made two versions of this handy little battery pack. The first was for use with the GoPro Hero3 and 3+ cameras. More recently they released the Brunton all day 2.0 for use with Hero4 Silver and Black GoPro cameras. The original all day was not fully waterproof just water resistant (IPX-5 Rated) Brunton all day 2.0 is a fully waterproof (to 40 meters) version of this extended battery pack. (well maybe)

My review of the waterproof Brunton all day 2.0 extended battery pack for GoPro Hero4 Silver & Black cameras. Is it a great pick for your GoPro gear bag if you are into shooting longer time lapses or need extended recording capability. The waterproofness is questionable at best I tested it just submerging in the sink prior to taking it in the pool and I was glad I did, it leaked. Not bad enough that it damaged the battery pack itself but not sure if I want to trust my GoPro cameras to it. So as to the 40 meters water proof not the unit I have. Maybe thats why they included multiple rubber seals for both the seal to GoPro housing itself and the output/on button compartment. I would still cal this a water resistant battery pack.
One of the other knocks I have on the all day 2.0 is how tight the rubber seal is on the GoPro housing. I broke the top clasp on one of my GoPro housings when first using it. To combat this I compress the seal by hand before attempting to close the housing clasp putting less pressure on it. Overall the Brunton%20All%20Day%202.0%20GoPro%20Power%20Supply,%20Yellow">Brunton All Day 2.0 is a great GoPro accessory to have mainly if you are after extended recording time like long time lapses. It does have a couple short comings but as long as you do not need it to be completely waterproof it’s fine.
Pros:
- Perfect accessory for the GoPro time lapse user
- The Brunton all day allows for extended recording at over 5+ hours.
- Can be used as battery/5000 mAh power pack for charging other devices like phones or other GoPro batteries.
- The black model allows you to completely black out your camera.
Cons:
- Waterproof seals are not very trust worthy, lets call it water resistant for now I would not recommend this for use with scuba diving or snorkeling.
- Rear seal is very tight and can lead to breaking the clasp on your GoPro housing.
- Adds quite a bit of weight and heft to the camera.
