NX1 OK for 3 hour shoot?

Guys, I was asked if I can cover a 3 hour indoor stage event shoot. It has a series of performances, each separated by a brief (1/2-1 min typically) breaks, but is otherwise continuous. Is it possible to cover this with NX1, stopping/starting during the breaks? I also have NX500 that I'll use as second camera.

Thanks, I actually have the vertical grip with the second battery and a 256GB card, so neither of them should be an issue. I'm mainly concerned about heating (I will be recording in 4K). I'm going to run a little experiment today running it for 3 hours with brief breaks every 1/2 hour, I'll post back what I find.

OK, I tested the camera, shooting non-stop for 3 hours, immediately restarting every 1/2 hour with each time limit. Quite amazingly, the camera showed zero signs of problems (was barely warm) and probably could have gone indefinitely. Also, you can use the USB cable for power if you need. Bottom line, NX1 should work fine for arbitrarily long shoots.
