17 hours continuous filming a flight: how is this possible ?

I stumbled upon this video:




, which shows a full 17 hours QF10 flight LHR-SYD out of a starboard Y window. Probably he had pasted a camera with a suction cup to the window, but how did he power the camera ? No camera can film 17 hours without interruption for changing batteries (?) so did he have a power bank ?

 

Many/most cameras allow charging via USB these days. There's external power supplies for the popular GoPro cameras for exactly this purpose, for example.
Time lapse videos would not be possible without cameras able to record for an extended period of time.

You can do it using a 360 cam powered by a large power bank and saving footage directly to a 1TB card. The newer models handle long recordings better and heat less. This article goes into some options that can do the job smoothly: https://www.technology.org/2025/05/20/the-best-360-action-camera-in-2025/. Just make sure to check the file splitting settings and max recording times before starting.
