I have three 2600 mA power packs as well. For weekend riding, these work fine. All these other preparations are for a long trip, for me anyway, in about five weeks. I plan on riding 1500 kms in two days and then return in as close to one day as possible, a week later. I'll be testing 128gb cards shortly which should capture the entire one way leg. Current plans are to capture the entire round trip and then speed it up into a short video.

from experience of wearing heated clothing the best place to mount stuff that requires power is to the front of the rider at the tank/seat area and leave a good bit of free cable so the ends are free to move about. when you dismount and forget to unplug the two ends will just free themselves if needs be. i think for your purposes you would be better trialling the cable out the back of the riders seat.

now if you are really clever you could wire in a buzzer so when you switch the bike off and the cable is connected the buzzer sounds.

if you dont want to go down that route then turn the connector that you have on the bike at the moment to horizontal instead of vertical that way if it does pull then it will not break.
