Drive to Ruswarp

Taking some 2015 lambs to Ruswarp Market on Monday.

The Hero4 performed pretty well and it's hard to fault the video quality except for a sort of bronze tint? Just can't seem to do away with that although it's not unattractive in some scenes it's a bit much.
The battery lasted there and back plus a brief wait, about two hours and still had probably 20 minutes left. At 1080p the 64GB card was almost 2/3 full.

I noticed it got very warm indeed in the waterproof case after running all that time, and could imagine on a hot day there would be problems.
I have a skeleton case coming soon and really should use the open back in this situation anyway.
I got a cheap frame case too but to me with that the lens looks a bit vulnerable to scratches if not careful.

It's not so much in use but during the annoyingly fiddly attachment process.
I already have an (SJ4000) mount on the rear view mirror stem - but boy is it fiddly to screw the gopro bolt thing behind there with minimal clearance.
An additional stem would help but also be a good way to get vibration.
