Action camera

Am thinking of one of these. Just trying it out so what to buy?

2nd hand gopro 3 or 4 or a ghost whatever. NOT looking for latest and greatest.

They both  have there pros and cons Gopro better quality and a whole array of mounts and accessories but poor battery life and it looks like scaffolding on a helmet,The drift is obviously slimmer with a huge battery life but they do have some software issues especially the earlier ones,all depends on your needs, the Gopro session are a good little camera with a reasonable battery life although your limited to 1080 or 720p

Thanks Rick.

1080 more than adequate considering most laptops / computers not 4k.  Will look at the session as well.

Just had a Gopro 8 delivered today, so have a Gopro 4 and bits spare that I'll be selling cheap, let me know if you're interested

I use a RoadHawk. Doesn't seem a popular choice for whatever reason but I've found it rugged and reliable so far (2+ years).

Thanks Alberto. Not looking for a dash cam type though, more the "wearable" style.

Ah ok

Oh that looks interesting. Reasonable battery size as well. Thanks for the link.

Ditto. Thanks for the link.
I'm looking to replace my vsys front rear setup with a better quality unit as I like messing about making videos with 'Racerender'   It looks to be suitable as it is waterproof and can be left connected to start recording at ignition on.
Cheers. I will check it out
