Features I'm looking for:

-Some sort of auto-cloud upload capability would be ideal.

-Not super obvious/intrusive

-Long recording time

-Motion activated


I guess I can just buy another Go-Pro if worse comes to worse but I really don't need all the bells and whistles it has.
Mark, I was thinking about the Contour a while back and learned they were going out of business. So I kept looking and found the Sony Action Cam. Great image stabilization, relatively small footprint and GPS tracking with map overlay capability make it a great track day camera. You can control it from your smart phone (I know it works with the iPhone) the one I have requires a case for using in rainy conditions, but the new version allows for a good level of water resistance that doesn't mind a little rain. I also picked up the license plate relocation kit and camera mount. It takes the standard mount and not the GoPro mount that Ptuning in Manassas sells.
