Pocket 4K 2h recording

I was wondering if anyone here has direct experience as for recording live performances with the pocket 4K. I will be recording a 2h event and I guess I won't have any problem as long as I have space in the card.

My only concern though is about the battery. I will be power the camera via AC: is there anything I should be aware of? (is it a good idea to keep a battery in the camera in case the power suddenly goes off?)

Thank you!

I never pushed to 2h but I recorded multiple 45m -> 1h segments without issues.

I had the AC power plugged in and the battery in the camera, but I made sure the battery was charged fully before starting (so that the battery wouldn't be charging while I record). I'm not sure if that was really needed but I didn't want the increased power from charging while recording nor the extra heat.

I’ve done several 2 hour recording and even 2 7 hours! All were fine The camera stopped when the drives were full.

I've done several concerts and shows too between 2 and 3 hours with two bmpcc 4k.
LP6 battery fully charged and a Sony 970 into a Tilta. I use Samsung T5.
The quality was 8:1 and sometimes 12:1. I cannot find the differences.
Never a problem.

Thank you guys for sharing your experience! Much appreciated

Think about pockets like mule, if Blackmagic Design design atem mini around them, they develop camera to work fine hours.
I use both of them to do online teaching, 4-8 hours at day from since 11 months.
No heat no problem with Ac powering.
Many times I record session from camera with external ssd
