Hero 3 Silver has a special place in my heart. Hero 5 was the first to really WOW me.

I've got a Hero 11 and a Max 2. I used to own a Insta360 x5 and a go 3s. GoPro has done a good job of engineering the cameras to be fairly rugged and work under difficult conditions (more so than Insta), and while the quality isn't there for low light, I've been ok with that, because it constitutes a small fraction of what I want to video. I particularly like the GoPro buttons, which I feel work better when my hands are cold. Plus, I do a lot of editing on Quik now, which works and does the minimum I need.

Comprate una Go Pro Hero 3+ Silver/Black usada (la diferencia creo estaba en el estabilizador, en la black es mejor). No están caras, los accesorios valen dos mangos, conseguís baterías, la app de celu anda relativamente bien y tiene una calidad más que aceptable. Yo tuve la silver y, si bien la estabilización podría ser mejor, tiene buena imagen de día y de noche. La única contra es que el viento le pegaba de lleno y el micrófono tomaba todo, pero vienen micrófonos externos que también salen 2 monedas y te soluciona esto. Este año vendí la mía y en Drive tengo unos videos que filmé andando en moto, si te sirve te paso el link para que veas.

You can go cheaper, you can get a Gopro hero 3+ or 4 for like 30 euro used if you keep an eye on online marketplaces. But I think a slightly more modern version with stabilization would work better for cycling. (Starting from the hero 7 black they have HyperSmooth, if you're lucky you might be able to pick up a 7 black for around 100 euro).

Indeed, they released a 3+ which had very little improvements on the 3 just to save the yearly cycle. Really weird...not to see at least a 13+

I don't have much use for an action cam, so generally just use my iphone. However, I do still have and use a Hero3+ semi-permanently mounted on my bicycle serving as a rear dashcam. Works great, batteries last 70+mins which usually covers my riding time. I haven't rigged up an external battery pack yet but that should extend the recording time to cover even my longest rides.
