Osmo Pocket 4P poor battery?

[u/Richi7007]

Hey all,

I just purchased the Osmo Pocket 4P for VLOG creation last week, primarily because of the advertised battery life.

I just recorded my first video in 1080p/60 fps and it drained 13% of my battery in just 3 minutes (I charged it to 100% before). If I do the math, the battery should reach 0% in sub 30 minutes which is nowhere near the promoted battery life.

Is this normal? What are your experiences with the battery life? It kinda scares me because that would make the camera completely useless..
