I use some knock off action cam on amazon that I have mounted to the back of my frame pointed slightly toward traffic and it just gets everything behind me as I ride, including plates. These are way south of $100.

amazon akaso v50x is what I use, it's $110 not sub $100. Battery is good for over an hour.

I use an inexpensive Akaso V50X as a dashcam, mounted on my handlebars. The 4K video isn’t GoPro quality but it’s plenty good for dashcam purposes. It comes with 2 batteries, buy extras as each one lasts 60+ minutes at 4K, or you can power it from an external battery.

Hey, I have Akaso v50x - its very budget friendly and I like it. I used it for cycling trips, snorkeling, skiing and for my needs is all I hoped for. Check it out...

I got the Akaso V50 for my first snorkelling trip last year - you can see an example video [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/snorkeling/comments/1k93cp6/snorkelling_at_maldives/). It was sub £100 brand new so pretty cheap, and I was very pleased with it. However my wife wanted to join in so I bought a more expensive camera for this year's trip, the DJI Action 6 this year - video [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/snorkeling/comments/1qunerk/early_morning_maldives_snorkel/). The difference was really very noticeable looking at our raw footage - the Akaso video always had a greenish tinge whereas on the Action 6 the light came through much better. But, until I'd tried the Action 6 I was perfectly happy with the Akaso!

i have an Akaso, i think it is the model you have listed. It is a good choice, full potato on still pics. there is good contrast between both pixels. You would be better with crayons and a sketch pad back on the beach.

Depends on why you want it. For vlogging, the ace pro is a great camera. If you want it as a dashcam, I personally wouldn't want an expensive camera on my helmet all the time, so I use a cheap Akaso for that and switch to the insta when I actually care about my footage.

One cent under $70 and you can get it by tomorrow. Quality is likely shit and 90% of the reviews are fake. I rented a Hero 7 back in 2019 for a trip. Came home and bought an Akaso, had I not had the experience with GoPro I would have probably kept it. Comparing the two it was night and day. It may work for your use case, if not you can just return it. https://preview.redd.it/zpf8gv6acmbg1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa81856dd3fce5483398c88649b504666a1317d5

Don't buy the akaso, underwater pictures are insanely green to a point where you can't fix it. Osmo is way better, have the 5pro and it's insane
