Upgrading my Sony video camera with Tesla 21700 batteries. The new battery compartment takes up the space of the tripod mount so I also make a new tripod mount for it.
I was shocked by last weeks video showing random pieces of metal inside a battery - this weeks has floored me even more - they're putting WOOD inside now!! What's next I ask myself - cheese?
@@vuaeco i'm thinking no-screen cameras of course. it's difficult to find numbers for this but gopros have been getting less efficient. the first model should be about 1500 milliwatts but the latest models go up to almost 3000. the first insta360 go about 1050-ish i think. runcam thumb also about 1040. i think the lowest consumption camera ever made might either come from the drone hobby or a security camera with wireless power transfer, but i can't tell exactly. it must be possible to get under a watt with unstabilised hd footage at 25 frames a second. (i have no example of this yet)
Good question. You could put the T-nut on either side. I could have put it inside, too. That way I didn't have to secure it with an extra screw. But the T-nut is shorter than the thickness of the wood and therefore the tripod screw can't reach. I didn't want to thin the wood because it might weaken the wood and crack when I put 4 mounting screws on 4 sides.
(1) I am sorry you got scammed for the camera battery. Maybe next time show us a printout of the seller's product page with the seller name in focus? 😏 (2) One day, I hope your videos will display a labelled *circuit diagram* of BMS circuits you extract. Just like BigClive UK does in his videos. (3) When building a new battery case, is it possible to wrap the batteries in some kind of *fire retardant* material?
