I'm debating on whether to just take my Samsung S5 phone as my camera on an upcoming sheep hunt. It seems like the pics are as good or better than my point n shoot camera and I have a phone scope adapter that I'll take for digiscoping.
One concern is battery life. I don't have a good idea how long the phone battery will last while taking a few short video clips (~1 minute or so) and the normal amount of pics to document a hunt. I see people buying phone charging devices, but they are kind of spendy and heavy. It looks like for $10 I can buy a Samsung battery. I'm guessing with 1 spare battery I would be good to go. I also understand I should put the phone in airplane mode to conserve the battery. Also, do you guys leave the phone on most of the day or shut it down to conserve the battery? Anyway, I'm looking for feedback on battery life under those conditions.
