Hi all,
I've been wanting to get an action camera for some time now to help capture any evidence if I ever have any issues on a ride and also to post some videos of interest online. I tend to ride over fairly rough ground and also during low-light (say, 6-8pm throughout the year) so something which can cope with poor light and capture with good image stabilisation would be ideal.
I'm not really in the market for a GoPro (though I have seen some amazing second-hand deals on eBay - just not sure if they've been abused and would also not have any comeback if they were to fail after some time) and all the ones I've seen on Amazon are pretty average, GoPro knock-offs.
Essentially I'm also looking for a camera which will capture clear enough footage to be able to see number plates so that they can be reported if needed.
Ideal budget is around £150-200 as this is likely to be something for the Christmas wishlist.
The cheapest GoPro I've seen is about £280.00 which was a Hero 8 and didn't appear to have great reviews. I'm assuming they don't go for less than that in Black Friday sales etc.?
Any recommendations welcome - thanks in advance!
