Use this instead of AA batteries to power your POV from an external 12V source. The kit comes with a cigarette lighter adaptor, and a "blind" connector which allows you to hardwire straight to a battery (fuse included). The hardwiring option is a good one for situations where power might be lost (eg, car stalling), as loss of power generally means loss of clip. The back of the adaptor has a 1/4" female threaded receptacle so that you can mount your recording unit with mounts like the Ultra Clamp and XXL Roll Bar Mount.
