Pro Tip for cameras/batteries in cold weather

[tomx]

If you're like me out filming in the cold cold smoke you've run into battery issues with your cameras. Thought I'd share a little tip for something that's been working for me. Over the past two seasons I started using Phoozy's for my cameras and my batteries. I can fit a GoPro Hero 9/10 (even with max mod lens), or Insta360 One R in the iphone Max (Apollo/Apollo II) large version of the Phoozy. I ride Gen4 Skidoo and put the Phoozys with cams and batteries in the storage box on top of the hood, doubling the warming. Once I get out into the BC I'll mount up the camera, put the Phoozy in my pocket with spare battery in the bottom and go rip it. I keep the small iphone SE (Apollo) version just for backup batteries and SD cards in the hood storage as well. I've yet to run out of batteries while filming and have had less issues with cold batteries.

You can find them on Amazon, they run deals from time to time I believe I got the silver ones for $19 each on Amazon deal.

BTW I'm in no way paid or sponsored by Phoozy so just and honest tip from one video guy to the other...

If it keeps you from spending on more expensive hobbies? Then you are saving money!
