The Ultimate Motorcycle Camera.

Having had a number of cameras and not being happy with any of them, I thought I would list my "must have's" for a motorcycle camera.
As far as I am aware this camera doesn't exist - but
it bloody well should
because it isn't hard to build and it would sell like hot cakes.
So here's my list (feel free to add your 2c worth of requirements, as well)
No picking on my list - It's a personal thing....
Bullet shaped
Lots of mounts
Waterproof to 3 meters - without the need of extra housing
Able to be powered whilst recording utilising a capacitor rather than a battery
Able to run independently on battery for a minimum of 3 hrs
Able to take a 64 GIG SD Card
Able to turn microphone on/off from switch on the outside of the camera
One switch turns recording on/off (a big one that a gloved finger can press) and vibrates to indicate sucess
No still photo capture (I'll use a proper camera for that - my phone :-))
20 degree fish eye fixed lens (more than that, causes distortion)
Ability to go between dash cam (15 minute segments) / continuous recording
Ability to download movies fast ie fast processor
Decent and upgradeable software
Fixed 1080 resolution
Under $250
Replaceable battery
Colour choice
What do you think?

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Tall order, especially wanting vibrate feedback in a very small camera.
All the rest seem desirable. And the rate things are developing, it might come out this year.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine.

Send your list to GoPro, Sena, Sony, Kaiser Baas, ExtremeX, Contourr, Kogan etc and see if one of them takes it on . . . The $250 is probably the biggest stumbling block . . .

Drift ghost-S covers most of that, but is more the $250
