Action cam for bikes

[jcr]

Recently been through an accident in a race and don't remember it.... so I was thinking of potentially putting a camera on my bike. Was wondering what people are using without breaking the bank like a GoPro or Insta360.

In my experience, the ones on Ali/amazon are not great. I wouldn't mind a reduction in video quality if the stabilisation was good but that is what sets apart the expensive cameras. If you just want footage and thats it, then try one but in my opinon they're not great and especially when mounted to the bars vibrate like mad even on road. I use an insta360 because its good good stabilisation and the fact you can look around the footage when done is great. Pricey little thing though.

Yes was wondering if anyone had experience with all those cameras listed with electronic stabilization. Or else I would say Insta360 is the best if money was not a concern.

I think it depends of the use. Video you want to publish or just review specific event.

Now that the GoPro hero 13 is out, I'm hoping for a price drop on the 12. Most likely my next big cycling purchase.

Anyone has heard about a cam that would take a good quality picture every x minutes
That could last a day without charging needs.
And give you a time lapse movie of the day.

That would be so nice as memories for my bike trips.

Most action cams have a time laps feature with pre-configured intervals. As a random example, this is from the GoPro Hero13 Black spec sheet:
Time Lapse Intervals (Video & Photo)
0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30, 60 sec.;
2, 5, 30, 60 min.

(I am not aware of any camera that would allow you to define your own interval (say, every 7 minutes) if that is what you are after.)
