We are preparing for a bit of a road trip that's about 5.5 hours (from Washington DC to Upstate New York/Mohonk Mountain House) and I'd like to make a time lapse of the entire trip but without any ugly cables dangling. What are my options for a suitable camera with sufficient battery life (2+ hour battery life) and mounting options for a Model S?
I'm thinking the pano roof glass just behind the first row would be perfect as I want the video to be of the windshield plus the dashboard so basically the same view you'd get from inside the car.
Is a Go Pro Hero 8/9 the best option to do this? Also thinking about a Go Pro Max but the video resolution is less. Seems like Go Pro Time Warp would result in a nice smooth video but I've seen various figures for the battery life so not sure what to expect. Has anyone done this for a long trip? I'll probably stop to charge after about 2.5 hours of driving so ideally if I can have it run for 2.5 hours on battery that would be perfect, so I can replace the battery of the camera as I charge the car.
Any recommendations for cameras and mounting options appreciaited! Would ideally like to find a quality dual suction mount so there is redundancy in case one of the suction points fail.
