1. Is the screen really necessary? The one thing I like about the C3 is the small size and that I can just hide the recording unit underneath my seat. With such a large screen, this will make the recording unit quite a bit bigger, and with the limited space underneath a lot of seats, it would be a deal breaker for me. Maybe make the screen removable? Or make it an optional accessory?



2. The length of the cable will vary depending on where people are able to mount their recording units. It might be a good idea to start offering different lengths of cable, the 1.5m cable is almost perfect for my motorcycle to connect the lens from the front to underneath the seat. But if I were connecting a second lens, I'd want a 0.75m cable since I would be putting the recording unit under my seat, and thus closer to the rear of the bike.



Like I mentioned, space underneath the seat is limited on most motorcycles. So excess cable is not desirable. I am using a cut down power cable (Thanks, Willy!) because the one provided with the C3 had so much excess that I could not fit it under the seat.



I recently purchased a second C3 from the last group buy, but have not been able to install it, as I haven't been able to figure out where to put the recording unit yet. A dual input recording unit that is close in size to the C3 would solve that issue.



Hope this helps. This will vary depending on where people are able to mount their recording units. A few thoughts:1. Is the screen really necessary?
