OMG squee! Thanks! I felt like that sort of feature should be possible, but after reading waaaay too much documentation I still hadn't found that feature listed. Thanks!

Initially when I was looking at GoPros for long recording sessions, I went down the route of low resolution, and then low frame rate (which potentially is something you could look at, depending on the kind of game), but connecting to a PC and using it to record solves your data capacity issue.

<h2>The Goal</h2>

<p>I am looking at purchasing a <a href="https://shop.gopro.com/cameras/fusion/CHDHZ-103.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GoPro Fusion</a> in order to record a group of people gaming. The games will last for between 3 and 6 hours. I'm looking at the fusion because of how very unobtrusive it can feel relative to something like a multi-cam setup.</p>

<h2>The Question</h2>

<p>Is it possible to create a setup for the GoPro Fusion or a competitor that will record for that kind of duration?</p>

<h2>Additional Notes</h2>

<p>We will be in my home. I will therefore have access to pretty much anything I can afford: wall power, computers, wifi control, etc.</p>
