I'm looking at buying the 11 yr old some sort of go-pro ish camera for christmas and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for something that wouldn't break the bank givem he's only 11.

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.
