    You aren't Chand Gill are you?!

    I have been looking at Gopros too, the Hero 5 Session is a solid camera with stabilization. The sessions are smaller and square, so they can be rotated inside their case if you want to mount it on the side of the swingarm or under anything. Can't remove battery in them though, so charge time without option of bringing extra batteries may be an issue. I am probably going to opt for the Hero 4 session, because it takes good enough quality vids for what I am looking for, at a better pricepoint than the hero 5 session. There's a ton of options, all the way up through the Hero 7, just watch a few review vids on YouTube and you'll learn a lot and get to see sample vid quality.

    Whatever camera and mount you end up with just make sure you're able to safety wire or tether it to a fixed point on your bike in case the mount breaks. As well, no helmet mounts allowed any longer. Lots of great camera options out there depending on your price point. I have an older Hero3 Silver that works great for me, but you can definitely notice the difference in video quality between that and a Hero 6 or 7.

    I just bought a GoPro clone from Amazon, the AKASO V50. It does more than the GoPro, comes with 2 batteries and a ton of accessories and mounts, records in 4K, and cost $119. I am tired of the GoPro faulting out at the worst times.
