Are the cables able to be connected together to make it even longer? For drivers who want to mount there in the front end somewhere and run everything else inside the car.There are two kind of cables for your connection, one is longer other is shorter.

It might be hard to see in my post icon but that is a plastic insert under my lights.
This one is not mine, but as an example. To attach the lens to the plastic slat and run the cable under the hood inside the fender well and have everything else in the car.
Seems like a really cool idea. I'm excited to see it done this way to grab some near ground driving footage.
I leave my camera mounted on the bike at all times normally. Rain tends to fly off the lens at highway speeds plus, even with raindrops, you can still see some events (say someone merging into you, etc).Well to be honest i assume most ppl driving on a motorcycle will take off ther Little camera as falling rain on the lens will render the recordings more or less useless, but a sudden shower can allways pop up, and you can be driving in a place where it would be unsmart to pull over in a rainstorm to pull off the camera gear.
And for the ppl that do need a 100 % seal the round shape of the lens housing make it easy to fabricate somthing with a Little DIY skills.
I think if any camera need to go into the coi pond it will have to be my friends gopro silver or his SJ4000 witch both have 100% waterproff housings.
When i get home tomorrow for a couple of hours i will have to order a RC controller for my train, so that i am ready to take the C3 + C1 out for a spin on the railroad in my friends garden. ( though it need a Little track Work before the trains can run there again as the layout have not been used for 2 years now )
Like MrFluff, when I get mine, it will be a permanent fixture to the bike. Rain or no rain. Thats why it needs to be waterproof, no doubt a bit of silicone where the cable goes into the housing will make it fully waterproof?

Doesn't seem to be available on Amazon UK - pity but I thing I know the kind of stuff you mean, Thanks for the info.I agree that it needs to be waterproof. Somehow, I have confidence that RockThinking will see to it that it is. Remember, this camera basically started out with RockThinking asking us for a "Wish List for Motorcycle Cameras". On the other hand, if it should need some sort of after purchase waterproofing help between the lens module and the cable, as mentioned in a another thread, 3M makes a perfect product for this called Scotch 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape. It is a stretchy, rubber like, self-fusing product that can be wrapped around a cable and/or connector and will be completely waterproof. It works much better than silicone for an application like this and will look nicer cosmetically as it is black and designed for sealing cables and connectors.
