The "ONIX" from Aldi is pretty good and cheep [ $35].
The only real problem is that it has a smaller field of vision than a GoPro.

I have an earlier GoPro. Works great.
Maybe a second hand or old stock GoPro?

Or something like this? (I have no knowledge/experience of this actual model)

There are also GoPro clones available. Sometimes from Aldi?

I am using one of these at the moment and they are great, if you can figure out how to use them as the instructions are in funny Chinese.
" Push button long time slowly but happily until vibrate 3 time"
Great field of vision.

It's cheap and from what I researched fine for what I'll use it for

Sent a message to the seller asking " any chance of getting some instructions in English English?".
His reply was " need SD card to run ".
That was where I gave up. :o
