The idea is as follows :
Get a low cost Hero Pro camera.
Get a strong magnet.
Get an epoxy to bind the hero camera mount to the strong magnet.
Maybe we have to roughen the surface of the strong magnet with a sand paper before gluing it with epoxy.
The GoPro Hero4 has a fully charged battery life of about 2.5 hours
for video recording. To extend shooting duration, use an external
battery charger for spare batteries. To replace the battery, you need to
open the camera housing. Make sure you have enough battery power for
your filming needs.
