The battery capacity of the charging case is 1100mAh, and the battery capacity of the camera body is 210mAh. When shooting a basic camera shake correction video, the camera alone can shoot for about 30 minutes, and when used with the charging case, it can shoot for about 150 minutes.

The pivot stand looks like this.
The pivot is a mechanism that rotates freely.
The case can be slid off and has an adhesive on the back. Even if it loses its adhesiveness due to dirt, etc., it can be regained its adhesiveness by washing it with water.
