Frequently Asked Questions - Volta GOPRO

How to charge the Volta?

Open the USB port cover, insert the included USB cable into the port and plug the other end into a USB power source. Press the battery status button to start charging. The LED indicators show the charge level: blinking during charging, and all steady when the battery is full (about 2.5 hours with a 5 V/3 A charger).

How to attach a GoPro camera to the Volta?

First install the USB passthrough door on your camera. Insert the camera into the upper mounting shafts of the Volta with the USB port facing the same side as the camera cable and the thumb screw. Tighten the thumb screw to secure the mount. Then connect the Volta USB cable to the camera.

Can I use the Volta as a wireless remote?

Yes, via Bluetooth. On the camera, go to the dashboard to add devices. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the Volta for 4 seconds until the center LED flashes blue. Once connected, the LED turns solid blue. You can then control the camera wirelessly, even if it is detached from the Volta.

What is the battery life of the Volta?

The 4900 mAh battery can significantly increase your GoPro camera's battery life. The exact duration depends on usage (recording, WiFi, etc.) and external conditions. A full charge typically multiplies the recording time by 2 to 3.

Is the Volta waterproof?

No, it is not waterproof. It is rain and snow resistant only if the USB port cover is properly closed and the seal is intact. Do not use it underwater, as this would damage the device and void the warranty.

How to reset the Volta?

Press and hold the Mode/Power and Shutter buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds. The reset does not affect Bluetooth pairing; you will not need to re-pair the camera.

Which cameras are compatible with the Volta?

The Volta is compatible with most recent GoPro cameras (HERO8, HERO9, HERO10, HERO11, etc.) as long as the included USB passthrough door is used. For the HERO11 Black Mini, this door is sold separately.

Can the Volta be used with the Media Mod?

Yes, insert the camera into the Media Mod, then attach the assembly to the Volta with the Media Mod USB port facing the same side as the Volta cable. Connect the Volta USB cable to the Media Mod USB port and connect via Bluetooth to use the controls. Note: the assembly is not weather-resistant.

What are the temperature limits of the Volta?

The operating temperature range is -10 °C to 35 °C. For charging, the temperature must be between 0 °C and 35 °C. If the temperature is too high or too low, the LEDs flash red 4 times and the device automatically stops until the temperature returns to normal.

How to use the integrated tripod?

Deploy the three tripod legs at the base of the Volta. You can then tilt or rotate the camera to adjust the shooting angle. The tripod is ideal for time-lapse photos or long-duration fixed shots.
