I guess I was thinking of uses where it really needs to be 100% waterproof, or in uses like on a mountain bike or race car where an hour of recording time is plenty. I'm not saying there aren't cases where you want external mic or more battery - I participated in the threads where people use their action cam as a dashcam, and the one where people were making their own cables to be able to charge and use an external mic at the same time, like where Jon from @Street Guardian USA was using it in a plane so it would record audio from their headsets.Not true for cyclists. Many of us who record do so continuously. My normal rides last 3.5 to 4 hours. My longer rides (to San Diego) last as long as 6 hours. I use the skeleton case and an Anker Powercore 5000 to give me enough recording juice. BUT, I recommend a zip tie or other strain relief on the external USB cable, so that it does not bounce around and/or exert lateral forces on the USB port.
