Help How much power does Bluetooth use?

[Winfried]

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting the following add-on by Ulanzi to use a smartphone as a camera:

I've never used Bluetooth on my Android phone: How much power can I expect it to use if I let it on a whole day?

Do you think I'll need to pair the phone + add-on every time I turn on the screen to take a picture, or will pairing remain active?

Thank you.

I have bluetooth on on my phone all the time. All day, every day. 99% of the time it is connected to something, whether its a BT speaker on my desk, my truck stereo, or various things in my house. I've never had any weird or excessive battery drain from it.

Do you think I'll need to pair the phone + add-on every time I turn on the screen to take a picture, or will pairing remain active?

That will probably depend on the device. My phone connects to my truck when I start it with no interaction on my part. Most times I have to manually reconnect the speaker. So it will depend on the device.

Thanks for the input.

Yeah never heard of anything that losing Blue Tooth either, I have my hearing aids pretty much synch on and off throughout the days too,
Guessing it varibles throughout what you used the Blue Tooth to attached it... Hmm...
