I bought a Wasabi charger and 2 spare batteries (eBay for about $40) for my GoPro 3. When one is flat, I swap it out, and put the camera back up recording.

One battery makes it a pain as you can't charge and record at the same time

Has anyone tried using one of the adhesive mounts to the dash inside the car?
I have an adhesive mount up behind the rear view mirror. Works good for me. I can charge and record at the same time.

Yes I am curious how you attach the camera without the casing.

Yes, I plug my go pro in anywhere there is a USB socket. Never had any issues.
I use the gopro suction mount and set the camera to record upside down as the suction mount won't sit right, right side up, if that makes sense.
There is an option in the menu to turn the recording upside down. It's handy.
