Best motorsport camera?
Discussion
Looking for some advice, I'm after a camera for multiple incar usage - rally, race, drag. In the past, the camera of choice was the V.I.O. POV, it was rugged, bomb proof, had a remote screen, remote start and could be 12v wired. However, it seemed to stall at 720P and these days I need to capture 4K.
I've spent the last number of years with GoPros but they're infuriating. The Hero 3s an 4s are just way to unreliable, you end up missing half the stages as they mess around making their mind up if they're going to work or not. The Sessions are a little better, but still a complete pain - the remote batteries last a few minutes if you're lucky, they still have reliability/memory card issues and it's a right pain to mic in to them.
So, is there a motorsport cam of choice than can deliver :-
- 4K resolution
- rugged/waterproof
- mic in (for intercom or external mic)
- remote start/stop
- 12v or USB battery feed
- option for live feed to the net via cellular/wireless network
- (optional) automatic start/stop
Any advice appreciated. I don't need logging/trackmaps/etc., purely just video/audio.
Thanks,
Graeme.

I dont think there is a camera out there that does it all that you want but I would say Racelogic is about the best you will get, not cheap tho
