Bike / helmet mounted camera recommendation.

After a recent uncomfortable experience while cycling, I am thinking of buying a basic helmet or bike mounted camera, not sure which is considered best etc. I would appreciate if someone would recommend a basic camera.

I picked up that one about two years ago and it hasn't let me down. Besides battery life (60 min) I'm happy with it. It comes with two batteries which has been helpful.

I have a gopro hero 8 and it is savage except the battery life (less than an hour. Quality is superb, image stabilisation is amazing, and so on. Would i buy one or recommend one to anyone, not a hope in hell, far too much money for a commuter camera. I would go for one of the Drift Stealth Cameras. nice form, high quality image and i think another poster bought one in the last few days and put up a video in the off topic thread.

The Drift stuff still the recommendaton? My original cycliq fly 12 has given up the ghost (no pun intended, as I'm looking at Drift), and first road spin since we had the works bar hitting someone from one motorist in a km or so! Anyway, struggling to justify the €300 for the Fly12 CE.

I got one of these for €69. Quality is excellent.

How's the battery life? Seems to be only 90 minutes? The Ghost is 5 hours, so would get around a weekend spin...
