Monoprice MHD Action Camera $99.99
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10...
Capture all the action with the new MHD Action Camera from Monoprice!
The MHD boasts a full, high-definition 1920x1080p display with 24-bit color depth at 30 frames per second. It can also be set to capture at the lower 1280x720p, 24-bit resolution with 30 fps. It features an ultra-wide 120° field of view, so you can really get up close and personal with your shots.
The camera is waterproof to depths up to 10 meters without a separate outer enclosure. It is also shock, dust, and freeze proof, all features that are necessary in an extreme sports action camera. A waterproof microphone allows you to capture the entire audio/video experience. A two-axis gyroscopic sensor ensures that the video maintains the proper orientation.
The MHD weighs only 3.9 ounces and measures 3 3/4" long, 1 7/8" high, and 1 1/2" wide. It comes with a mounting bracket and can also be mounted onto a standard 1/4"x20 threaded mount, giving you maximum flexibility in how you use it.
A one-touch slide switch is used to start and stop recordings. The switch is about 1" long by 3/8" wide, so you can easily start and stop a recording without having to remove your gloves.
A locking and removable cap on the rear of the unit gives access to the resolution selection switch (FHD or HD), the hardware reset button, the micro-SD card slot, which can accomodate a card up to 32GB size, the mini-B USB port for charging and data sync, and a Micro HDMI port for direct video output to an HDTV. The internal battery has sufficient charge to allow up to 3 hours of continuous recording and up to 6 hours of standby mode.
In addition to being used as a video camera, the MHD Action Camera is also a 5 megapixel still camera. A large button on the top of the unit is used to snap pictures in Single Photo, Burst, and Time Lapse modes with 24-bit color depth.
The camera has plug and play operation and is automatically recognized as a storage device by Windows and Mac computers. Integrated software can be installed to a Mac or Windows PC to allow access to the internal settings. The software is compatible with Windows XP SP3 or later or Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Additional Mounting Accessories: Helmet Mount, Board Mount, Suction Cup Mount

Does it have any sort of live-out, or any sort of remote control in?

Yeay! That will do, nice!
I can't believe I did not read that in the text. Sorry. :)
Hopefully it can be supplied with 5v over USB while in use too so you don't have to worry about the battery running low.

Magnus,
The battery has sufficient charge to allow up to 3 hours of continuous recording. If you go to the product page (by clicking the link that Paul provided) and browse to the bottom of the page then you will see a car-charger with USB output.
assume that this pretty much answers your question if it can be supplied over USB?

Yes and no, I have another similar camera that uses USB for charging. When ever you feed it with 5 volts over USB, it will reboot into PC-mode and present the memory card. You cannot use it for anything but a memory card reader while it has the charger plugged in.
I notice when I go FPV:ing that there is a plethora of batteries that I need to check. Remote Control Transmitter battery. Video reciever/monitor battery. Goggles battery. Still Camera Battery. GoPro Battery.
Anything that you can connect to the propulsion battery and run from that, is a win. :)
3 hours is fine, but sometimes you forget to turn it off, or charge from the last run etc. Bummer finding out that you have to charge for an hour, when you are in the field, ready to take off.
But thanks!
