We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 30.

$150,000 Stretch Goal!

Update #2 · Oct 23, 2012 · 16 comments

$75,000 Achieved! We are announcing a $150,000 stretch goal! This means, if we reach $150,000, we'll let you, the backers, decide on a new color for the camera!

Each backer selects the color of camera once the Kickstarter campaign is over. Reaching this stretch goal means that we will be able to offer one additional color to choose from, which will be voted on by the community.

The camera is made from very sturdy PC plastic, making it resistant against compression and drops. The sides of the camera are of high gloss finish, while the front is matte coated and the back is in matte rubber. Just like the Memoto Orange camera, the camera colored according to the voting of the community, will have the same color of front and back.

      I agree with everyone below, another color pales in comparison to additional functionality.

      Second previous suggestions.. 1) Black, 2) Aluminium, 3) Dark Red
      But more importantly, I'd love to be able to select the upload server myself or turn the upload feature off. If I'm honest, the idea that all photos are automatically uploaded to Memoto’s servers turns me off a little, well a lot :)

      I too would prefer enhanced specifications rather than an additional color

      Aluminum or sparkly silver

      I think that since there's an accelerometer and GPS on it, it would be useful to think about how you can use that information to adjust the capture rate dynamically. I don't really need 60 pictures of my lunch, while a shot every few seconds on a bike ride or a hike would make total sense. I think it also needs a physical sliding cover switch over the lens so that you can make it obvious that it's off and can't possibly record. Something like that may also be required on airplanes, for example.

      I'm with Allan on this one, a personal black box recorder is really what I'm looking for. You are obviously going to go far past your funding goals - the current colours are fine.

      My preferences, in order: 1) Black, 2) Aluminum, 3) Red [dark red, not candy red]

      Suggested features. Environmental sensors such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, 3 axis g-force and air quality. I'm thinking a personal black box recorder.

      Well done. Suggested features--innovative ways for users to find the camera after they have misplaced it (as many of do us with almost everything).

      8Mp please!

      Agree 100% with Raju & Amit

      Creator Raju PP on October 23, 2012

      Additional sensors would be great as well!

      Creator Arthur Guy on October 23, 2012

      I'd love to see an option for extended battery life and device storage or even additional sensors like temperature or motion detection like the sense cam http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/sensecam/

      Creator Matt Cooper-Kay on October 23, 2012

      Agree compltely with Amit! At this scale, the costs I expect would not be much greater. It would be amazing to see upgrades to the hardware/battery packs and/or an SD card slot.

    15. Amit.small

      Creator Amit Bhawani on October 23, 2012

      How about adding stretch goals based on additional features like :

      8Mp Camera Sensor
      Extended Storage with Micro USB Slot
      Battery Packs at Extra Cost good while Travelling

      Another Color is not a very useful feature because everyone would be fine with current options. Obviously with more success and higher pledges you will be able to reduce the costs with scaling up hence the 8mp sensor would be just awesome and a option to upload HQ or lower resolution option for users to save storage space.

      Great going! But disappointed with the stretch goal. You should rather offer better camera or more storage or additional features.
